Electrical and Computer Engineering:
Project Title: Development of a Low Cost, High Precision Ozone (O₃) Detection System
| Term: | Fall 2025 |
Professor: | Zhang, Zhenyu (11-369, Donadeo Innovation Centre Of Engineering) |
Email: | zhenyu15@ualberta.ca |
Brief Description: This project focuses on the development of a cost effective and high precision ozone (O₃) detection device designed for standalone operation with support for both wired and wireless communication. By utilizing an array of gas sensors and applying data fusion techniques, the system aims to significantly improve measurement accuracy and repeatability, overcoming the inherent limitations of individual low cost sensors. The outcome of this research will contribute to the advancement of accessible air quality monitoring technologies.
Mechanical Engineering:
Project Title: Design and Evaluation of a HVAC Platform for Indoor Air Quality Experiments
| Term: | Fall 2025 |
Professor: | Zhong, Lexuan (ICE 10-215) |
Email: | lexuan.zhong@ualberta.ca |
Brief Description: This project focuses on developing an interactive IAQ demonstration platform to support undergraduate research and learning in HVAC engineering. The student will assist in constructing and testing a portable air duct system equipped with a fan, coils, duct-mount humidifier, and air quality sensors (CO₂, VOCs, temperature, humidity, etc.). The system will be used to simulate real-world indoor environments and evaluate the impact of various HVAC configurations on IAQ performance.
The student will be involved in data collection and analysis using environmental meters, as well as helping design hands-on demonstrations for integration into undergraduate HVAC courses (MEC E 463/466). They will gain experience in HVAC operations, sensor calibration, airflow measurement, and IAQ assessment methods.
