Electric Car Pods

Rest while traveling (Zero-emission). This network of electrical car pods with private enclosure could be located throughout the city's underutilized parking spaces in combination with solar PV canopy.

This is a research proposal in collaboration with UC Davis Policy Institute for Energy, Environment, and Economy.

Note: The e-Pod is not a substitute for proper apartment rental arrangement.

RESEARCH HOLD

Turbo Room Expansion

As a participant in TechCrunch's Disrupt SF Expo, our researchers have shown that a custom exterior elevator (mobile room) can be reserved and used to ‘expand’ living or office spaces by the hour.

The concept could reduce more than 30% of underutilized building footprint.

The energy and cost of material to construct a 15-story column of underused living space is much higher than the energy to operate 1 or 2 mobile rooms, over a 30 year period.

Warning: Do not overstay.

English-Tech Curriculum

The ability to write and effectively 'Pitch' design ideas is the key part of STEM careers. Students are grouped into cohorts though their English classes; they collaborate and take different engineering-robotic classes together as a team throughout the year.

Castro Valley Unified School District, Autodesk, Intelitek and our research team have created a space for the combined teaching of English and technology classrooms.
