Future Power Solutions for Exploring Hypothesized Surfaces (Team 39)

The focus of this project is to design a device that will serve as a modular power station that can harvest solar energy on the surface of 16-Psyche. The design will include a solar tracking mechanism and a charging mechanism for smaller science rovers. Demo Day Zoom link: https://asu.zoom.us/j/84925580760 Video Research poster View the poster…

Future Power Solutions

This project supported the NASA Psyche Mission Team by designing a reliable and energy-efficient power system using Radioisotope Power Systems, or RPS, for baseline power and hydrogen fuel cells for peak demands and backup, ensuring uninterrupted functionality in extreme and uncertain environmental conditions. This is supplemented with a 3D model of the power system, as…

An Optimized LED to Reduce Light Discomfort in Photophobia

Our goal is to simulate a green-enriched white light at a wavelength between 520-540 nm that can alleviate light discomfort in patients experiencing photophobia. Photophobia refers to severe sensitivity to light.

GLP-1 Phage Design

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are medications used for managing blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes. However, these treatments often cause unwanted side effects like nausea and stomach discomfort, have unpredictable side effects in different individuals, and require injections, making them often a challenge for patients to adhere to. Our flagship product addresses these…

AIS Brace Improvement

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) affects about 2–4% of kids between 10 and 18. If not treated early, it can lead to serious health problems. Bracing is a common way to stop the curve from getting worse, but many kids don’t wear their brace as much as they should. It’s usually because it’s uncomfortable, hard to…

Rapid Heating of Fluids for Robotic Surgery

Many rural hospitals lack the infrastructure to support large stocks of pre-warmed intravenous (IV) fluids for invasive medical procedures, and as a result require an alternative solution to produce the needed stock in a short amount of time. ThermaMed Industries is committed to creating a solution for the rapid heating of IV fluid to increase…

Asthma Inhaler

The PulmonUs team designed ReLung, a refillable dry powder inhaler that is biodegradable and also easier to use for patients. Current aerosol inhalers that are available on the market utilize hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs) to deliver asthma medication to patients. Recent emerging studies have shown that the HFAs in a single asthma inhaler emits as much carbon…

3D Segmentation and Surface Reconstruction of Bones

The accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning for orthopedic conditions rely heavily on the precise visualization of bone structures from medical imaging data. Current imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI scans, provide detailed cross-sectional images but require extensive manual interpretation. Our project, the 3D Bone Reconstruction and Segmentation project, addresses this gap by developing…

Larnyx Tissue Engineering

Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by abnormal wound healing around the subglottis and tracheal region. Excessive fibrosis causes ECM deposition in the area, leading to tissue stiffness and narrowing of the passage. There is no permanent solution, and current treatment solutions involve surgically removing the scar tissue with topical medication;…
