Electrification of Farm Tractors – Students in Research

This summer, Tomas Aas-Hansen, a first-year mechatronics student at the University of Agder (UiA), joined the innovative ELAG project. His task was to continue transforming a Massey Ferguson tractor into a fully electric vehicle, building on the foundations laid by a 2024 bachelor thesis.

Two-dimensional modeling of lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are at the heart of many modern technologies, as the demand for these technologies grows, so does the need for efficient, reliable, and long-lasting energy storage solutions. This summer, I had the opportunity to intern at University of Agder to work on two-dimensional modeling of lithium-ion batteries. The end goal of this resarch… Fortsett å lese Two-dimensional modeling of lithium-ion batteries

Min erfaring som forskningsassistent: Vandringsmønster og overlevelse hos sjøørret og laks

I løpet av mitt andre år som forskningsassistent har jeg fått muligheten til å utvide min forståelse og erfaringer 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, og i år har vi også inkludert Østeråbekken i Tvedestrand… Fortsett å lese Min erfaring som forskningsassistent: Vandringsmønster og overlevelse hos sjøørret og laks

eDNA extraction

My name is Nasrin and I had the opportunity to join an interesting project to characterize the marine biodiversity inhabiting coastal areas in Agder. Beside its relevance for understanding the life in the ocean and the preservation of the marine ecosystem, the knowledge generated in the project can help the further development of the blue… Fortsett å lese eDNA extraction

Are We Truly Aware of the AI We Consume? – Understanding the Ethical Implications of AI in Educational Use

During my exchange semester at the University of Agder in Norway, I participated in a research project «Thoughtful Use of AI in Education». The application of AI has become increasingly prevalent in various fields, particularly in education, which saw a significant rise in AI adoption following the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people utilize AI in their… Fortsett å lese Are We Truly Aware of the AI We Consume? – Understanding the Ethical Implications of AI in Educational Use

Model test evaluation and power performance evaluation of floating solar arrays

Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) systems are a new but promising solution to the problem of rapidly diminishing fossil fuels. During my time as a «student in research» at UiA, I have had the privilege of diving deep into this technology, my focus being on the “model test evaluation and power performance of floating solar arrays.” Model… Fortsett å lese Model test evaluation and power performance evaluation of floating solar arrays
