New UBC Okanagan research is changing the way aircraft and wind turbine operators are addressing the risks related to ice build-up.
New UBC Okanagan research is changing the way aircraft and wind turbine operators are addressing the risks related to ice build-up.
In a follow-up study from one released previously this year, Assistant Professor Mohammad Zarifi and his team at UBCO’s Okanagan MicroElectronics and Gigahertz Applications (OMEGA) Lab, have broadened the scope and functionality of their ice sensors.
“We received a great deal of interest from the aviation and renewable energy industries stemming from our initial findings which pushed us to expand the boundaries of the sensor’s responsiveness and accuracy,” explains Zarifi.
