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. ....
