Details

We want to study overhead transformers, based on existing implementations, and understand the latest technology that can be used to further the understanding of transformers and their impacts to health and safety of nearby residents.

We would like a group of students to first analyze the risks involved, develop the theoretical study and then come up with some potential test, measurements and strategic next steps to better this understanding.

This will involve:

  • Conduct background research on electromagnetic field interaction and human health
  • Simulate radiation using available tools.
  • Identify next steps, tests / certifications needed and possible platforms to strengthen this research.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should submit a final report (along with any source materials such as code, workbooks, reference materials etc.,) that demonstrates:

  • Understanding of the stated hypothesis
  • The theoretical analysis
  • Methodologies adopted towards the study
  • Recommended next steps for our organization

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Study of government support grants and infrastructure that can further the work
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • EMI measurement techniques
  • Computational resources
  • Software licenses (if required)
