Innovation
Showcase
April 29, 2016
Welcome
Meet the next generation
of problem solvers.
We are proud to welcome you to our Spring 2016
Innovation Showcase, where you will see an amazing
array of projects designed by students to solve real-world
challenges.
Students and faculty from the Fulton Schools of
Engineering at Arizona State University will amaze you with
their brilliant solutions.
It’s not just the solutions that impress us, but also the
process in which students work directly with faculty
mentors and industry leaders who partner with our
students to develop new and innovative ideas. This
collaboration is enriching for both sides and provides an
introduction to industry for our students. The relationships
that develop are rewarding and often result in job offers.
The research and creative expression demonstrated
here have immediate and direct impact in companies
across the country.
We know that you, along with us, applaud these innovative
and successful students.
Thank you for joining us for this exciting celebration.

Discover Innovation
“Do you know what my favorite renewable fuel is?
An ecosystem for innovation.”
–Thomas Friedman, American journalist, columnist and author
Identify a problem. Research it. Design a solution. Push the
envelope. Learn from failure. Reinvent it. Build it. Make it.
Code it. Do it. Take it to Innovation Showcase.
Innovation is at the core of Arizona State University’s model
for the New American University. ASU faculty and students
continually seek out opportunities to partner with industry
on real-world problems, tackling them with enthusiasm,
research and intellectual facility until they find innovative
and imaginative solutions.
Innovation Showcase celebrates this commitment to
innovation and the amazing work produced this year by
students and faculty.
Many of the projects on display began with an industry
request for help to solve a problem. The problems were
then matched with students, who worked in teams with
faculty mentors to come up with tangible solutions. It is
use-inspired research and design that solves industry
issues while giving industry leaders an up-close-andpersonal look at students, who they often go on to hire.
You will see new inventions, new methodologies, new
creations and new ideas. You will see students who have
tackled problems, pushed the envelope, collaborated
across disciplines, learned from failure, cultivated
imagination and curiosity, experienced new possibilities,
participated in an overarching entrepreneurial energy and
changed perceptions.
Innovation Showcase fosters the process of invention,
creation and revolution, creating generations of
intentional innovators as well as generations of
cutting-edge inventions.
It reveals the evolution and continual process of innovation,
highlighting diverse projects from undergraduate and
graduate students.
Our 2016 Innovation Showcase is organized into
innovation neighborhoods inspired by innovators
through the ages.

water from most diseases and viruses. The team used UV light,
which is a much safer solution because it eliminates the risks of
small filter particles in the filtered water.
TJ Lawrence, Sophomore, Engineering (Electrical Systems)
Brendan V. Trang, Sophomore, Engineering
Ariel M. Gupta, Sophomore, Engineering (Electrical Systems)
Kieran D. Alimonda, Sophomore, Engineering
(Automotive Systems)

The team examined the drinking water at three locations across
the ASU Polytechnic campus. From the samples taken, the team
analyzed the results to find the concentrations of inorganic material
in the drinking water.
WALK FOR AUTISM
This poster was made for the annual walk for autism. T-shirts and
flyers were also made to promote the walk.

INVESTIGATION OF TRUST IN HUMAN-ROBOT
INTERACTIONS
Shengjie Zhu, Senior, Engineering (Robotics)
Andrew Karnes, Junior, Software Engineering
Benjamin Liu, Senior, Engineering
In this research, the team aimed to determine the social cues that
lead to a proper amount of trust between a human and a robot.
The team built a physical robot that can make certain movements
like a human and developed a game of logic based upon “Wumpus
World,” which is a well-known game in the study of artificially
intelligent agents.

MECHANICAL STIMULATION OF NEURAL
PROGENITOR CELLS
Adam Bolesław Pąk, Junior, Chemical Engineering
Sarah Stabenfeldt, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering
Oliver Graudejus, Faculty Associate, School of Molecular
Sciences
In order to push forward research on traumatic brain injury (TBI)
the team’s objective was to test in vitro technology that simulates
TBI conditions on neural progenitor cells. Work on minimization of
error in mechanical stimulation of live tissue samples on stretchable
microelectrode array (sMEA) was done to aid commercialization of
sMEA technology.
MONITORING AND MANAGING DISTRIBUTED
ENERGY RESOURCES THROUGH INTEROPERABLE
IOT SOLUTIONS
Joseph Pezzi, Senior, Engineering
Prafull Gaiwad, Graduate, Software Engineering
Kevin Everly, Graduate, Software Engineering
The goal was to develop a proof of concept for providing bidirectional communication and control between a solar inverter
and the Verizon 4G LTE wireless communications network. This
facilitates the remote control and management of inverters via
reliable and secure communication.
SHINING LIGHT ON SOLAR CELLS: SILICON
NANOPARTICLE ANALYSIS
Kari Sanford, Sophomore, Engineering Management
Peter Firth, Graduate Student, Electrical Engineering
To increase the electrical current of solar cells, the objective
of this investigation was to create one porous layer of silicon
nanoparticles. The student observed changes of polarization of light
when it reflects off a surface. This data will be used to calculate the
thickness and density of the silicon monolayer.
SPACE
Kaytlyn St.Yves, Junior, Elementary Education
Brandon Smith, Junior, Technological Entrepreneurship and
Management
Right out of the box, Space enables designers, artists and
professionals alike. It gives them all of the tools they need to
intimately interact with their content unlike ever before in the most
elegant manner possible.
