Student: Taegyun Lee
Project Title: Environmental Transformation Design DE-DESERTIFICATION
Taegyun Lee developed an innovation project from his own interests in eco-materials and product development. He used bio-mimicry of ancient desert plants to attempt reintroducing self watering seed propagators to allow plants to be introduced back into areas that have become deserts. Taegyun undertook extensive research into bio-materials, in particular bio-resins that convert into plant food. Partnering with a Botanist he developed a staged planting process to enable the transformation of the desert. The image shows how the heat from the sun and moisture transforming the object and protecting the young plant.

Student: Pierre Chanquion
Project Title: Electric Ride-on Vehicles – Computer Vision Analysis
Pierre worked with an electric vehicle manufacturer to explore the development of both the connected products, and the service tools, that would allow sales customisation, networked maintenance, and servicing of a fleet of electric vehicles. Pierre’s project developed his skills as a technologist, running workshops and guiding non technical staff into the real possibilities of technology to move electric vehicles into new domains. Pierre is very interested in the management of research and development and also has designed software tools to aid this process.
