Social and Sustainable Society with Multidisciplinary Research

The Social and Sustainable Society is based on multidisciplinary study and serves as a dynamic, collaborative hub for pioneering research that goes beyond traditional academic boundaries to solve real-world challenges. We recognize that today's most complex global problems require the deep integration of insights from diverse fields—combining expertise from the sciences, humanities, social sciences, and emerging technologies.

Helmholtz Coils: Modeling Qubit Interaction with PIDs

Author: Leo Titievsky

February 16, 2026

The hardware to produce the magnetic fields was left over from previous development on the model. Thus, our primary concern in the making of a multi-Bloch sphere model was in the following objectives: Firstly, I wanted to produce a means by which multiple Bloch Spheres could be put into a single net...

The Effect of Polyethylene Microplastics on the Growth of Lemna minor

Author: Talie Lin, Elivia Choong

February 05, 2026

This study investigated the impact of polyethylene microplastics on the growth, root length, and chlorophyll-a content of Lemna minor (duckweed) while evaluating its potential as a phytoremediation tool to address microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Microplastics, prevalent in the environm...

THE REMOVAL OF COPPER (II) SULFATE CONTAMINATED WATER USING CHEMICALLY

Author: Vienna Choong, Chase Im

February 02, 2026

Currently, activated charcoal is used to remediate heavy metals from water, but it can be expensive. Alternatives such as rice husk-derived biochar can be used as a cost-efficient method of remediating heavy metals. This study aimed to determine the most effective particle sizes (0.149, 0.42, 0.85 m...
