Michael Richter is addressing the challenge of transporting renewable hydrogen through the existing natural gas pipeline network by proposing a solution that involves extracting pure hydrogen from a mixed gas using an ion-selective membrane. This flexible and compact technology, with manufacturing synergies with fuel cells and electrolysers, aims to overcome…

Ankita is working on nano-fiber filters that efficiently remove particles and enable good flow with the help of surface coating technology. These two functions are mutually exclusive in conventional filters.

The Idea of this project came from famous Brain-Ring intelligence game where two groups are competing with push-buttons for quick answering to the questions from different spheres. We decided to involve university students in the organizing of the game, assembled with them the buttons and control system, wrote down logical…
