Temporal and spatial conservation of momentum and kinetic energy

12:00 – 12:20

Eduard EITELBERG, Electrical and Electronic Engineering

My research area is control systems, with a broad scope that includes numerical simulation methods, model reduction, digital and non-linear control, load sharing in power and other systems, multi-loop control and loop interaction. I also delve into physics and electrochemical modelling of membranes, as well as the legal-economic aspects of money and banking. My work bridges the disciplines of physics, engineering, economics, and law. Recently, I’ve been focusing on cascaded control and the conserved quantities in the universe.

Implementation of stress and strain sensors in reinforced concrete elements

12:20 – 12:40

Shay NACHUM ,Civil Engineering

My research focuses on innovative sensors originally developed to measure the full stress and strain tensors within soils. These sensors provide direct internal measurements, offering unique insight into subsurface mechanical behaviour—essentially allowing us to “see inside” geomaterials. We are now adapting this technology for use in concrete. Beyond that, it holds promise for various fields such as geotechnical engineering, structural monitoring, and materials research.

Obtaining Soot Volume Fraction and Temperature Fields of a Sooting Flame from Images Using Machine Learning

12:40 – 13:00

Victor CHERNOV, Mechanical Engineering

My research area is combustion, specifically sooting flames. Soot consists of aggregates of nano-particles that can be harmful for health and environment. Soot is created in oxygen-poor regions of the flames and behaves as grey body. It is responsible for the yellow/orange/white color of hydrocarbon flames.
The main goal of my research is to obtain soot volume fraction and temperature from colour images of the flame. Success will reduce both the cost and the effort of such measurements.

Nature-inspired physicochemical process: Jellyfish mucin for efficient removal of nano-plastics from water

13:20 – 13:40

Isam SABBAH, Biotechnology Engineering

This study investigates the synergistic effect of jellyfish mucus and commercial coagulants on the removal of microplastics and nanoplastics from water. The results reveal that combining low doses of jellyfish mucus with commonly used coagulants significantly enhances the removal efficiency of MPs and NPs and reduces particle settling times. Mechanistic insights demonstrate that jellyfish mucus facilitates entrapment and bridging mechanisms leading to aggregation of plastic particles.
