Designing a DIY Internet of Things (IOT) kit for ambient nature learning
We’re interested in exploring how to make affordable Internet of Things (IOT) devices that enable learning about nature through sound. This project aims to make an open-source DIY kit of a technology that enables ambient listening and learning about vocal species (e.g. bird or frog calls) in the home, as well as the sharing of nature data.We can supply prototypes and user requirements. We require someone with experience or a strong interest in designing for the Internet of Things to …

Simulation of bacterial cell motion using CFD and DPM methods
Studying bacterial motion under flow conditions demands greater amount of resources. Computer simulations can reduce the need for expensive experimental investigations by predicting bacterial motion under specific flow conditions.Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to analyse fluid flow using computer simulations, and Discrete Phase Method (DPM) is used to analyse flow of particles in a fluid. Combining these two methods, bacterial motion under fluid flow has been simulated.However, these simulation models have limitations such as absence of bacterial interactions, or …
