James Gibert developing smart packaging
James Gibert is working to develop smart packaging: for example, a cardboard box that generates its own electricity in transit, using triboelectric harvesters. James, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering, recently received a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), in conjunction with Clemson University's College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Sciences.
