Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of several methods for water desalination. Over the years the energy efficiency of these systems have increased greatly and many variants of RO have emerged. The method tha...
In March 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) initiated a processing round calling for additional applications for non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) fixed-satellite service (FSS) o...
Batch reverse osmosis is a unique process that uses standard equipment to recover water from scaling-prone reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate. Batch RO avoids scaling by operating in cycles that are too...

Drones are often equipped with shock-absorbing rigid structures intended for landing or absorbing impact of crashes. While the landing gear that manufacturers supply does protect the drone from damage...
There has been a rise in demand for fish products in the US, leading to the need for more offshore aquaculture farms. These farms have been a source of controversy for many years. While some point to ...
LiDAR technology can accurately generate a 3D representation of the environment which creates numerous opportunities for improving assistive technology for blind and
visually impaired individuals. Un...
Before the 1950’s, the Air Force believed in the ‘average man’ [4]. The ‘average man’ was believed to be the average in human body data as a way to oversimplify the variability in a population of pilo...
Makeup Assist is an iOS app that improves the experience of applying makeup for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Most efforts in developing assistive technology have concentrated on mak...
From 2015 to 2021, the FCC held eleven auctions, an unprecedented amount [1]. Analysis and comparison of these auctions provide a unique opportunity to quantify bidding trends and auction results base...
Microbial communities are an important cornerstone of all ecosystems. By studying their interactions and the way they respond to environmental changes we can better understand which factors contribute...
Article 22 of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)'s Radio Regulations, Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) is defined to ensure protection from harmful interference from non-geostationar...
Clew Maps is an update to a preexisting iOS App for indoor navigation called Clew. Presently, blind and visually impaired (BVI) individuals struggle to navigate unfamiliar spaces, and often have to re...
Research was done on actuators for a soft robotic glove that could assist children with cerebral palsy with at-home hand physical therapy. Materials in the construction of fabric-based soft pneumatic ...
Clew Maps reimagines Clew as an app that crowdsources routes for indoor navigation and repurposes the existing
backend code base to better serve this purpose by alleviating the pain points inherent t...
The RoboTuna is a robotic fish that will be able to collect samples from marine wildlife and allow us to better understand the oceanic ecosystem and the behavior of underwater creatures. This biomimet...
There are long-standing examples of how engineers’ education in probability and statistics has not been sufficient. This work presents a novel theoretical framework to help teach and study statistical...
Computing has a history of perpetuating injustices, a pattern that has only seemed to grow worse over recent years. These injustices are a direct result of computing's epistemic values and practices, ...
Halide perovskites are promising materials for tandem solar cell applications due to their easily tunable bandgap through cation and halide variations. However, photo-induced halide segregation in iod...
We see a misalignment between the engineering field’s constitutive-interests rooted in the reductionist sciences and the needs of the 21st century in the socio-political, environmental, and spiritual ...
Electromyography can be used as a human machine interface in which a person could control a computer or device with the electrical signals that cause muscle movement. This research used EMG data from ...
The discussion of inclusivity and accessibility is often something that happens in a closed system, where able bodied people discuss how to make things easier for people who have a disability. When wr...
Prior research has shown piezoelectric vibration sensors can detect sail luffing, the acceleration of a flexible sail out of its normal wing state caused by a momentary reversal of the air pressure gr...

In late 2018, the City of Providence began allowing scooter share companies to operate within their city and to provide alternative forms of transportation to their population. These scooter share com...
Aquaculture has the potential to become the world's most important and sustainable option for protein production, but many of those involved in the industry currently lack the tools, resources, and ed...
Cerebral palsy patients currently face a significant treatment gap, which in part has to do with the high cost of traditional treatment methods. Research has shown that cerebral palsy affects 1 in 323...
