Laser Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a technique that uses focused light to measure and image surfaces or internal structures with very high resolution. A central element in many setups is the galvoscanner: a small mirror driven by galvanometer motors that steers the laser beam rapidly in one or two axes. By controlling this mirror,… Fortsett å lese Mechanical Design of a Laser Sensor Rig

As part of my bachelor’s degree, my co-student Cecilie Chakram Nybru and I investigated a newly discovered aging mechanism in lithium-ion batteries, known as Electrolyte Motion Induced Salt Gradients (EMSI). We successfully confirmed that this mechanism also occurs in commercial cylindrical cells. EMSI describes how the movement of electrolyte during charge and discharge cycles leads… Fortsett å lese Confirming a New Aging Mechanism in Commercial Batteries

After writing my bachelor’s thesis in industrial mathematics on lithium batteries and their concentration-dependent parameters, I got the opportunity to work as a scientific assistant for Williams (Associate Professor in battery simulations). My task was to investigate LFP–LTO batteries and how varying certain parameters would affect performance at different C-rates. My job consisted of generating… Fortsett å lese Concentration-Dependent Parameters in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Denne våren har jeg hatt gleden av å jobbe videre som studentforsker innen forskning på vandringsmønstre og overlevelse hos sjøørret (Salmo trutta) og laks (Salmo salar). Dette spennende prosjektet er et samarbeid mellom UiA og NORCE i Agder. Hovedområdet for feltarbeidet har vært Kvernbekken i Vågsbygd, Kristiansand. Dette er en bekk som renner gjennom vegetert… Fortsett å lese Min erfaring som studentforsker: Molekylærbiologisk arbeid med kjønnsbestemmelse av anadrom fisk

Laser based approach to measure the key parameter indices (KPI) such as vibration in case of bridge, or motor; electric current for monitoring motor health are few examples of critical infrastructure. Though contact based sensor such as accelerometers are widely used, they suffer from loading effect, difficult to place them and operate them. These draw… Fortsett å lese Design and development of electro-optic components towards laser based critical asset predictive maintenance

Purpose: An idea created by Johannes Landesfeind, of using the functions of a 3D-printer to read the voltage of batteries. This tool is to be used to calculate the degration of batteries caused by uneven spreading of the binding in the batteries. This system will measure the voltage in a 10×10 grid, covering an area… Fortsett å lese Testing-system based on 3D-printers function

This students in research and innovation project, carried out by Elias Landro and Marcus Axelsen Wold, is a transdisciplinary collaboration between choreographer Karolina Bieszczad-Stie, dancer Ellinor Staurbakk, and the Motion Lab at the University of Agder. The project combined mechatronics and contemporary dance to explore how modern dynamic machinery, specifically a Stewart Platform, can be… Fortsett å lese Choreographic Interactions at UiA Motion Lab – A Project Where Mechatronics Meets Dance

This summer, Eivind Enea Greca, a first-year Master’s student in Mechatronics at the University of Agder (UiA), joined the innovative ELAG project. His primary task was to decode CANBus messages in order to determine how the system could initiate a charging sequence. This work continues the transformation of a Massey Ferguson tractor into a fully… Fortsett å lese CANBus decoding of BMS system – Students in Research

Cod, torsk, is an important fish species in Norway’s coastal ecosystem. Besides its ecological relevance, it is also of high cultural and economic importance. Recently, it has become harder to find these precious species in our sea, and the latest scientific reports evidence the dramatic situation of this emblematic species along our coast. But, where… Fortsett å lese Tracing the missing cod.

I slutten av mai pakket vi tørrdrakter, vannfast papir og dro i felt – for å være med på et forskningsprosjekt om østers. Dette var ikke bare et vanlig feltkurs, men en del av forskningsprosjektet “Langtidseffekten av fjerning av stillehavsøsters på flatøstersbanker” der vi fikk mulighet til å bidra til reell forskning sammen med forskere… Fortsett å lese Hva skjer med stillehavsøstersen etter ryddeaksjoner?
