PTBU v1.0: Polar Thermal Breakwater Unit
The Polar Thermal Breakwater Unit (PTBU) is a hybrid coastal-protection concept that combines mechanical coastal protection with a sealed internal freshwater or low-salinity water core intended to undergo seasonal freezing and melting. The external form follows the logic of inter...

An AI-Based Whole-Person Care Summarization Tool for Care Management Providers
To provide effective care and support to patients with complex medical and social needs, providers must have synthesized whole-person insights on their health-related social needs (HRSN). Often, the only sources of these insights are large numbers of unstructured data coming from...

Artificial Desert Archipelago Theory (ADAT)
Artificial Desert Archipelago Theory (ADAT) proposes a conceptual environmental and geoengineering framework for addressing water scarcity, desertification, and increasing thermal stress in arid and hyper-arid regions. The central concept is to investigate whether strategically d...
