Optical Nano-antennas for Photovoltaic and Infra-red Sensing Applications

Objectives: The main objectives of the project are listed below: Developing new plasmonic nano structures along with proposing new array topologies by considering uniform distribution, 2D or 3D linear and gaussian distributions. Also, the proposed work aims at investigating the passivation effect of the nanoparticles by surrounding it with a thin layer of silica. Testing different metaheuristics

Valorization of Shrimp shells and Agricultural Wastes for Sustainable Biopolymer-Based Packaging Solutions

Abstract This research project focused on the valorization of shrimp shell and agricultural waste materials, such as rice straw, for the development of sustainable biopolymer-based packaging solutions. The key objectives were to extract and optimize chitosan and other biopolymers from shrimp shells, and to reinforce these materials with chitin fibers and whiskers for enhanced mechanical and

Using Piezoelectric textile insets to analyse working environment ergonomics

Abstract "The working environment is usually assessed through ergonomic analyses to determine the fatigue level of the labors subjected to long work. The CAD software helps in this field by using the built-in manikin that can be manipulated to reach the different gestures that the labor may show during the working day and determine fatigue levels through the RULA and REBA analyses. The utilization
