Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
The research assistants will support the research and development effort of the WaterHCI project under the guidance of Professor Mann, founder of MannLab.
The research assistants require a good understanding and experience in one or more of the following areas:
- electronics theory and practice (building things, making things, etc.);
- fluid dynamics theory and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis;
- programming in GNU Linux OS (ie. Ubuntu) with good familiarity with shell scripting, command-line interfaces, etc.;
- JavaScript + WebGL;
- design of electronic circuits, board layout, and component selection;
- design of mechanical parts and material selection using FreeCAD or other free+open-source computing.

Phase 1
- Conduct literature review to understand the concept ofs WaterHCI
- Develop the prototype (code or hardware) for a WaterHCI device or initiative defined by the supervisor
- Deliverable: a research summary and any code or hardware (if applicable)
Phase 2
- Refine the prototype developed in Phase 1 to improve its functionality under the direction of the supervisor
- Deliverable: a research summary and any code or hardware (if applicable)
Phase 3
- Conduct testing of the prototype refined in Phase 2 and seek for user feedback
- Deliverable: a research summary and any code or hardware (if applicable)
Phase 4
- Further refined the prototype from Phase 3 so it is for deployment
- Deliverable: a research summary and any deployed or published code or hardware (if applicable)
