Emissions Quantification
The focus here is on monitoring and quantifying existing emissions from Eskom power stations in terms of greenhouse gases and pollutants. Also of importance is to understand the atmosphere into which emissions are released, the impact of emissions on air quality, long-term deposition to the biosphere and hydrosphere and contributions to the…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/eppei-specialisation-centre-emissions-control/emissions-control-technologies
Emissions Control Technologies
The focus here is on improving the performance of existing mitigation technologies for particulate matter, SO2 NOx, CO2 and Hg for South African coal characteristics and plant conditions.

Background
The relationship between mind and matter is perhaps the deepest intellectual challenge facing humanity. It links to wide ranges of science, philosophy and engineering, and has been infamously resistant to solution. In recent times, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a central theme in addressing this challenge, offering several insights that…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/must-deep-learning/research-projects

DL Theory Generalisation in Deep Learning A long-standing theoretical interest in our group is generalisation - that is, how exactly information learned on a training set of samples is transferred to novel inputs. This is particularly relevant in the context of Deep Learning: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/research/centre-excellence-carbon-based-fuels-0
