Wild fires produce significant air pollution, posing health risks to first responders, residents in nearby areas, and downwind communities. Wildfires are increasing in size and intensity, and the fire season is growing longer. Technologies for measuring air pollutants, including particulates, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon dioxide, over the wide range of levels expected in areas dow ...

As forest fires are increasing in prevalence and intensity there is a need for miniaturized, lower cost, and easily portable air sensors that provide information to first responders, public health managers and communities so informed, timely decisions can be made. PM2.5 is an accepted standard for particulate matter (PM) measurements, but PM2.5 mass measurements cannot identify sources without ana ...

This is a proposal to develop a unique, Ultrashort Pulsed Off-axis Digital Holography (USPODH) system, enabling the high frequency imaging of detailed 3D structures within aerosol fields under harsh thermodynamic conditions and high optical depths where ordinary imaging is essentially useless. Many powerful imaging methods have failed to provide this capability because noise from multiple scatteri ...

The confluence of genetics, mobile computing, wearable sensors and computational physiology has started the revolution in personalized medicine with huge civilian and military prospects to promote health and reduce costs. The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a Warfighter Health Avatar (WHA): a framework and physiology based modeling tools of a warfighter body to enable assessment ...

Over 820 million Indians, about 65% of its population, cook on polluting open fires, causing ~1 million premature deaths annually. Fifty million households have no electricity. The Power Stove is a household energy solution combining clean cooking and reliable, ondemand power. Clean combustion and thermoelectric power technology, make it a high performance, user desirable solution based on low cos ...

To address the US Army’s need in novel toxicity sensing methods using a platform compatible with the Environmental Sentinel Biomonitor (ESB) for testing Army field water with the goal of increasing toxicant sensitivity and reducing consumable size and cos

The problem is clear: battlefield conditions often result in degraded network communications or situations where there is no network available at all. This results in significant harm to effective communications along a broad spectrum of devices and need

We propose to develop SmartPatient BOT driven by a continuous learning Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engine which can understand medical learner's questions in a natural conversation mode and provide responses from the medical simulator instead of int

We propose development of an AR system that allows the medical personnel to visualize the internal anatomy of a patient by projecting relevant anatomical information onto the patient directly into the field of view (FOV) of the medic. With no medical imag

Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can
