Served with a Side of Microplastics: An Analysis of Microplastics in Favourite Seafoods
This project quantitatively and qualitatively analyses microplastics in the stomach of four top seafoods: lobster, shrimp, mussel and oyster in order to understand seafood microplastic consumption and to shine light on today's environmental situation.

A Novel Way to Measure Blood Electrolytes and Metabolites
While core laboratory analyzers are the best choice to conduct blood electrolytes and metabolites testing, due to their high cost, many hospital settings in rural areas don't have backup. One solution is to use existing blood gas analyzers as backup for core laboratory analyzers. This study investigates on the interchangeability of both analyzers by comparing the electrolytes and metabolites testing done on serum/plasma, an off-label sample type for blood gas analyzers.

The Water Cleaning Aqua Drone
The Water Cleaning Aqua Drone is an innovation made to help people with the job of cleaning the surface of their swimming pool as well as any other calm bodies of water by only using a remote control. This prototype is a boat made of simple products that can pick up any leaves and debris that is on the surface of the water. It can move and pick up waste conveniently by using coded circuit boards, electric currents, and Newton’s third law of motion.
