The Frontier of Mechanical Energy Harvesting

Project ENGAGES is a high school science education program developed at Georgia Tech in partnership with Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy, B.E.S.T Academy and KIPP Atlanta Collegiate, three minority-serving public high schools in the City of Atlanta.

ICU workload impacts patient care and outcomes, and may be modified by staff movement and perceived workload and stress. In collaboration with researchers at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University, we perform a comprehensive analysis of how workload and physical-cognitive burden on staff impacts patient care and outcomes.

There has been intensive demand of an enhanced conductive material in areas of the aerospace, electric vehicles, industrial and rail markets. Deploying an enhanced conductive material into these markets has the potential to support transformational technology for power distribution devices/systems that impact our daily lives.

Water-splitting combined with renewable energy sources is considered as the most promising pathway to produce “clean (or green)” hydrogen with zero-emission. The U.S. Department of Energy is supporting the research and development of advanced technologies for production of clean hydrogen, with a goal of reducing production cost to $1 per kg by 2030.

The electrodes based on functionalized carbon materials are considered to have a potential to overcome limitations of conventional Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors, exhibiting high capacity and fast charge capability at the same time.

Based on their unique 1D structures, the product nanofibers are employed in a variety of applications including high-power Li-ion batteries, concrete building blocks, conductive paints, catalysts, antimicrobial systems.

Ceramic/polymer hybrid solid-state-electrolyes (SSEs) are investigated to address intrinsic limitations of ceramic SSEs such as poor mechanical properties and high electrode/electrolyte interface resistance.
