Increasing Engagement by Pairing Academic Skills Videos with Edutainment
2021.04～2025.03, 代表者：Andrew Robertson, Kyushu University
To investigate whether pairing academic skills videos with edutainment videos will increase student engagement..

Activation of CO2 by molecular 'Carrot and Stick' catalysts
2021.01～2021.07
Using ligands capable of secondary Lewis base donation, coordinated to a transition metal, I have used DFT simulations to show that it is possible to trap and activate CO2..

A Simple Chemical Computer
2013.08～2019.08
I use non-linear reactions to process logic functions in a digital manner. For instance, pH above a certain level corresponds to a 1, while below that value corresponds to a 0. Having produced a NAND gate, I intend to proceed to a more complex assembly to perform a computation..
