This innovation introduces a carbon-free catalyst support using doped titanium suboxide to replace traditional carbon materials that are prone to corrosion. The technology significantly enhances durability and efficiency of PEM fuel cells for use in non-polluting vehicles and portable power devices.

Fuel Cell Catalyst Support

The research group developed a universal on-board charger featuring a novel power factor correction converter that addresses a wide range of battery pack voltages. This system allows a singer charger to efficiently power various electric vehicles and transportation devices regardless of their specific voltage requirements.

This software-defined networking system proactively monitors backbone communication networks to protect against disruptions caused by natural or man-made disasters. By estimating failure probabilities and re-routing traffic from danger zones to safe regions, it ensures continuous network connectivity during large-scale emergencies.

Network Resilience

Dr. Desaulnier's group developed a method to control the activity of siRNA therapeutics using azobenzene moieties that respond to UV or visible light. This allows for inactive drugs to be injected into the body and then precision-activated only at the site of a tumour to minimize off-target effects and improve cancer treatment outcomes.

Photo-Controlled siRNA

This novel authentication scheme requires users to remember specific scenes or movements within a video to serve as their password. The system provides a secure alternative to text-based logins while creating a captive audience for advertisers to engage users during the authentication process.
