Dr. David Olawale is a professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the R. B. Annis School of Engineering, University of Indianapolis. He has diverse experience in research and development, as well as technology commercialization and entrepreneurship. His research areas include multifunctional composite materials and manufacturing, as well as technology entrepreneurship. His research work resulted in two patents and over fifty peer reviewed journal, book chapters, and conference publications. He is the lead editor of the only book on Triboluminescence (Triboluminescence: Theory, Synthesis and Application), published by Springer in 2016. He has co-authored several book chapters including a chapter in the book, Nanotechnology Commercialization: Manufacturing Processes and Products, published by Wiley in 2017. He is also the lead author of the 7th most cited article in Journal of Luminescence from 2011-2016. His paper, “Triboluminescent Composite with In-situ Impact Sensing Capability” won an Outstanding Paper Award for the Non Destructive Evaluation track at the 2015 CAMX –The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo. His work led to the formation of a technology startup company and in 2015, he led the startup company in receiving the highly competitive National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR Phase 1) award and successfully completed the project in 2016. He also served as the entrepreneurial lead for the NSF ICorps Team 377 (Fall 2014). He is a project management professional (PMP) and a technology entrepreneur.
Najmus Saqib is an Assistant Professor in the R.B. Annis School of Engineering at the University of Indianapolis (UIndy). Saqib received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines (CSM), focusing on "Optical Diagnostics of Lithium-Sulfur and Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes using Attenuated Total Reflection Infrared Spectroscopy". He likes to use innovative pedagogical techniques to facilitate student learning.
First responders routinely face stressful situations that require them to act as fast as possible. In an emergency situation, a stationary law enforcement officer poses a risk to their own life, as well as the lives of others. Their response times are often significantly slower due to the difficulty of accessing the proper equipment in their vehicles. Our team of junior engineering students is providing a product that will aid police officers in organizing their gear in the rear of their vehicles to allow for quick and efficient access. We have interviewed a total of 38 individuals, including 25 law enforcement officers from nine different police departments across Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. We used the data from the interviews to develop a set of product requirements that has guided our design process. Our student-led team has been working diligently with our faculty and staff as well as an industry mentor to create the best possible product. We have created a storage system that is unique in providing officers with an innovative way to store their gear while providing fast, easy, and secured access.
