The goal of this project is to make use of the opportunities that the far side of the Moon has to offer. This area is almost completely free of any interference from the Earth’s radio signals, thus it is the perfect location for the detection of extremely low-frequency radio signals.

A low-voltage prototype that generates pulses of power rather than a constant stream based on a solid state switching topology. This demonstrates a typically high voltage practice in safer operating conditions. Video Research poster View the poster Sponsor Advisor Jesus Alejandro ValladaresLos Alamos National Laboratory

This project proposes an in-situ resource utilization system for the asteroid Psyche using magnetic collection and inductive sensing to gather and identify metallic ore in low-gravity environments. The system stabilizes transported material with permanent magnets, detects metal type by analyzing electromagnetic responses from dual sensing coils, and sorts the material into separate storage chamber. Demo…

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) linear accelerator (LINAC) relies on copper accelerating cavities driven by high-power RF to accelerate protons for national security, science, and medical isotope production. To ensure proper operation, the cavities must remain precisely tuned to their resonant frequency to couple RF power effectively. The control mechanism uses the forward…

This project presents the development of a wearable sleep mask system designed to enable infrared imaging of pupil dilation and movement through closed eyelids to enhance sleep studies. Currently, typical sleep studies use electrodes applied to the scalp and body to track sleep, breathing, cardio-respiratory activity, gross motor movement, and neural activity. The system integrates…

This project looks into the neural and behavioral mechanisms that are present during physical cooperation in human-human interaction using a dual-robot KINARM system. By analyzing the force exchange and the movement coordination between participants, along with directional causality metrics, the study examines how individuals influence each other during shared motor tasks under different conditions like…

MicroDose Diagnostics is developing an automatic bench-top verification system designed to check the contents of returned PCA bags in hospital diversion workflows. The device uses a withdrawn micro-sample, UV-Vis absorbance analysis, and reference-based matching to determine whether the residual liquid matches the expected narcotic, such as morphine, hydromorphone, or fentanyl. By adding an automatic and…

This project proposes an in vitro macrophage-based model as an alternative to animal testing for evaluating biomaterials. THP-1 monocytes are differentiated into macrophages and used to simulate inflammatory responses through cytokine analysis. This model demonstrates how biomaterial biocompatibility for medical devices can be assessed using a controlled, ethical, and scalable system, providing an alternative to…

How does mental fatigue impact your reaction time on the court? This project measures how basketball players respond under increasing cognitive load using reaction drills and wearable sensors. The results aim to improve performance insights and reduce injury risk in high-speed sports. Video Research poster View the poster Faculty mentor Aurel CozaCenter Director and Professor…
