Research (inquiry and investigation) during Winter Break 2019

EESL’s winter break was filled with inquiry and investigation.

What if our technology could be brought to a commercial audience?

We joined CUNY-I-CORPS and presented our tech:

Then we tested our hypothesis by interviewing a few market segments:

farmers market

Finally we presented our results:

Do we have a viable product?

EESL Research Assistant City Tech, CUNY

I’m Ryan Redhead, a research assistant at the Energy and Environmental Simulation Laboratory (EESL). I am a Mechanical Engineering major at New York City College of Technology and I am interested in turning waste to energy. What I can bring to the group, in particular, will come in the form of knowledge in Mechanical Engineering. This research seems particularly interesting to me since so much waste is produced by people. This waste is taking up space and not being utilized in the world to its full potential. To me, waste seems like an abundant untapped resource. If we can find a way to harness energy from waste, the possibilities would be endless. I am excited to learn more about research in general and the topic of turning waste into energy.
