Data Driven, Smart, Non-Pneumatic Tires
THE CHALLENGE
Non-pneumatic tires provide two main advantages over pneumatic tires, namely resistance to puncture and common road hazards which can result in tire blowouts. Currently, non-pneumatic tires are hampered by problems such as heat dissipation and ride discomfort, as the air in regular pneumatic tires dampens vibration.

A Low-Cost GPS Spoofing Detector and Spoofer Localizer
The Challenge
Thirty-one satellites currently in orbit contribute to the Global Positioning System. These satellites are used to calculate the longitude, latitude, and altitude of users. However, the GPS system is vulnerable to spoofing attacks that can migrate the user from the actual signal to the spoofing signal. These attacks can disrupt operations...

Planar Bridging-Droplet Thermal Diodes
THE CHALLENGE
Thermal diodes preferentially conduct heat in one direction but insulate in the reverse direction. They are of immense practical interest for smart thermal management of aircraft, electronics, and buildings. However, real-life implementation has been constrained by poor effectiveness (solid-state diodes), dependence on a gravitational...
