Energy, Environments and Economics

The research group investigates the use of renewable energy technology and the environment parameters impact on solar modules including all areas related to performance of these modules. The group also studies the implementation of solar panels for a green building in Jordan to generate solar energy and to support the electricity supplied by the national grid. This is to reduce the annual electricity bill, in addition to eliminate the CO2 emission. The study also to find the positive impact of implementation such systems for a local residential small project in Jordan, taking into consideration the escalating oil and natural gas prices, and the decrease in photovoltaic technology cost. These works resulted in one book, five international conference papers, three international journal published papers, and three international journals in review process.

Intelligent Embedded Systems

The aim of this research project is to create a unified intelligent protocol for unmanned aerial vehicle which should be responsible for:(a) Maintain collision avoidance functionality(b) Optimize the path planning for UAVs(c) Allow for priority in UAV maneuvers based on UAV type.

E-business and ICT adoption

The main aim of this research group is to promote and exchange ideas on e-business research and applications. It also collaborates in building and validating e-business theory and practice. The research group also explores issues related to e-government development and implementation. Research interests include Information and Communication Technologies adoption especially in developing countries.
