An international collaboration with the industry to investigate and optimize the wave energy convertors paired with different sites for future wave energy farm’s design/site selection
This project aims to enhance the yield of microalgal cultivation and harvesting processes by implementing a high-efficiency culture platform. Microalgae is a sustainable food source for human as it provides nutrients critical for wellbeing with minimal ecological impact. Commercial microalgae cultivation methods require immense water and land use due to… Read More
The project explores: (1) the potential of music, especially “traditional” music, to contribute to poverty reduction efforts, and (2) the relationships between poverty and the sustainability of musical and other cultural expressions. In its first phase, the project worked with youth musicians in Cambodia to gauge their experiences and perspectives… Read More
High-frequency water quality monitoring technology has considerably improved in the last decade. New generation optical sensors allow for reliable, in-situ monitoring, with real-time data often remotely accessible through the cloud. Since 2020, two mobile water quality stations have been built, consisting of trailers with solar panels, batteries, pumps and sensors;… Read More
An international collaboration to collate and analyse all available ocean wave climate projections to quantify projected changes and asscoaited levels of uncertainty
Our team has identified new anti-Giardia compounds with potent and selective activity against drug sensitive and resistant parasites. These compounds have in vivo activity and behave synergistically when combined with other compounds. The aim of our work is to end treatment refractory giardiasis thereby improving health and well-being on a… Read More
