Telling a story of research through photography
The ‘photo of the week’ is a weekly series featuring photographs taken by BU academics and students for our Research Photography Competition which took place earlier this year.
These provide a snapshot into some of the incredible research taking place across the BU community.
This week’s photo of the week was taken by Neetesh Saxena and is titled;
‘Cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for smart cities’
This image focuses on the solar and wind energy, which can be utilised in the upcoming smart cities to make the system more efficient, self-manageable, and optimised resourced, and also a cost-effective and mostly available energy resource for the smart devices.
Neetesh Saxena’s research focuses on the system’s efficiency and security aspects.
