As a mechanical engineer with previous journey of work in different industries of which air pollution is a common factor that necessitates the protection of the workers respiratory tract,
Our design incorporates an ultraviolet (UV) light matrix composed of multiple wavelengths that target pathogens and aim to disinfect surfaces, air, and water. UV light exposure will assist the current cleaning protocol without the added effects of harmful solvent-based cleaning solutions.
Autonomous vehicles are providing a new layer of occupant security while driving. The cornerstone of the research in autonomous vehicles relies on the effective use and interpretation of sensor data. Consequently, limitations such as weather disruptions can make sensors to be unreliable and cause severe accidents. To address this,
During rear end collisions, the part of body below neck(torso), moves forward and part above the neck(head), moves in opposite direction due to inertia effect resulting in whiplash injury. The whiplash causes head injury due to fracture of ligaments in the neck portion of body.
We wanted to rethink the way most people consume water to develop an honest, Eco-friendly product to help solve the global plastic waste crisis.
