Micro CT Scanning of Civil Engineering Materials
Location: CE Corridor (1st Floor Engineering Science Building)
Farhad Jazaei, fjazaei@memphis.edu
Capacity: 10
Demonsration time: 5 minutes
In this demonstration, I will present the results of CT scanning conducted on various structural materials, highlighting the intricate details and internal structures revealed through this advanced imaging technique. I will also showcase a selection of videos that illustrate the capabilities of our CT scanning process, providing a deeper understanding of its applications and advantages. Furthermore, I will discuss the state-of-the-art CT scan machine available on our campus.
Micro Plastic Pollution
Location: Engineering Science, 207
Farhad Jazaei, fjazaei@memphis.edu
Capacity: 10
Demonstration time: 10 minutes
I will provide a brief overview of microplastic pollution, focusing on its presence and impact across three critical environmental compartments: water, soil, and air. Following this, I will introduce our advanced research capabilities, highlighting our cutting-edge microscopy and micro-FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy equipment, which are integral to our investigations into microplastic analysis. To offer a hands-on perspective, I will guide participants on a tour of our environmental laboratory, showcasing a range of specialized equipment used in our studies of microplastic behavior, fate, and impact in various environmental contexts.
Video Synchronization With Motion Simulation
An immersive haptic video experience utilizing motion simulators.

Water on Wheels (WOW)
Location: Engineering Parking Lot
Water on Wheels (WOW) is a mobile learning experience focused on the science of water. Why water? Because water is essential for life.
The WOW is a teaching tool that allows schools to increase student knowledge about the water cycle and its impact on daily life. Instead of taking an off-site field trip, the WOW is a field trip that comes to your school at a fraction of the cost and time, in the form of a 24' trailer that is a mini-museum.
Inside the WOW, educational displays are colorful, interactive, and visually appealing. Because the source of tap water for the Mid-South is groundwater, one important display in the WOW spotlights the Memphis aquifer system, a vast underground resource with some of the cleanest water on Earth.
