Ecoist – with a chassis of natural fibre

The goal is to produce a functioning chassis for the electric car Ecoist Tian in natural fibre composite; a reinforced natural fibre, bio-based thermosetting plastic. There is very little documentation and experience of producing this on an industrial scale. By using natural fibres as reinforcement material, plants absorb CO2 from

Bread Nouveau

In 2018, 90 billion tonnes of raw material was extracted globally where an estimation of 20% goes to waste. As designers we can move freely in between disconnected disciplines and disrupt knowledge silos in science today. Our goal is to create a symbiosis between otherwise detached industries and further develop

Harvesting information from the light field

We aim to develop and produce new types of microlens arrays. These microlens arrays can be incorporated e.g. in microscopes to enable fast volumetric imaging. Additionally, we want to learn how to make large area microlens arrays that can be used to generate complex illumination patterns for applications like holographic

Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

The purpose is to explore new photocatalytic systems for solar-driven hydrogen generation. This is basic research where we are trying to find "what works" using variations of (new) photosensitizers and catalysts. The results may constitute a foundation for development of new technologies for hydrogen evolution that are environmentally friendly and
