So we got our dissertation title:-

Area: Sustainable development and AI

Problem Definition: Mauritius being a Small Island Development State faces new environmental challenges such as preserving its fragile ecosystem. One scourge that is actually hindering our environment is the amount of waste that is being generated and ultimately landfilled. Much of the waste generated is organic and can therefore be biodegraded into compost, a natural fertilizer which can substitute chemical fertilizers. Moreover, compost has the pontential to enrich the soil content. in-Vessel composting is one whereby organic waste is filled into a large vessel with special mechanism to control the oxygen and moisture content and other factors that will help in the production of the compost.

Project Aim and Objectives: this project will deal with the simulation of an In-Vessel Composting system using Fuzzy Logic. Making compost is not a straight forward science. understanding the different processes that take place during composting can help in monitoring the different factors that influence the production of quality compost.

Project Output: investigate into the composting system, understand the use of fuzzy logic in uncertain variables, critical analysis of existing system, design and develop a system with a decent user interface that will allow for monitoring the composting process.

Software/Hardware Requirements: to develop a simulation software that will mimic the In-Vessel composting process and eventually providing a monitoring system to predict type of compost.

Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, Python or C++ or C Sharp or matlab

Lecturer: Mr Somveer Kishnah

Me and my friend Nawsheen would be working together on this. Hope we manage to get an A+ in it 😀
