Investigating the Effects of Wildfires in Indoor Air Quality

Project Description The Vance Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder specializes in indoor and outdoor air quality investigations, with a special focus on aerosols or particulate matter (PM). PM can range from a few nanometers to micrometers in size and can be generated from a variety of sources, from...

Arctic Exploration - Electrical System

Project Description Working on a project funded through the NSF designing and prototyping a robotic arm that is able to attach to a research drone used to collect samples from ice floes in the Arctic that are too soft for researchers to walk on. This person will work with a...

Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone - Mechanical

Project Description GLEE us a unique mission to land 350 small spacecraft called LunaSats on the surface of the Moon through global collaboration with student teams at educational institutions across the globe. Academic year 2022 - 2023 will focus on the mission to the moon, building the final version of...

Engineering for Social Justice, Literature Lead

Project Description We are looking for a student to aid in understanding the career pathways of global engineering students and building a research base on the education of these students. This study hopes to unearth some of the structures in global engineering and development that are both preventing and aiding...

Protecting Temperature-Sensitive Ecosystems from Heat Pollution by Groundwater

Project Description Geothermal energy systems (GES) use groundwater as a source or sink of heat for heating or cooling. Groundwater is extracted from an aquifer, passed through a heat exchanger, and returned to the aquifer at a temperature that is warmer (if used for cooling) or cooler (if used for...

Mechanical Design for Volumetric 3D Printing

Project Description Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM) is the latest and greatest 3D printing technology that is bringing science fiction 3D printing to life! By projecting images into a volume of liquid material at different angles, an accumulation of energy builds within the material. When the energy accumulation in a region...

Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation as an Alternative Display Modality

Project Description While auditory and visual displays dominate the transfer of information, other sensory modalities, such as the vestibular system, may be a viable option and be able to help reduce operator information load. In Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS), electrical current signals the vestibular sensors involved with spatial orientation perception...

Sensor Array to Study Seed Germination and Soil Carbon Sequestration

Project Description The BEEM Lab is currently developing novel techniques to improve space farming and crop germination in microgravity environments. We are seeking an undergraduate researcher to assist with experiment preparation, material fabrication, and constructing a system for seed germination data collection. The student would also help to develop an...
