poster abstractIn the University atmosphere, research has become the forefront for an academic facility. Most large universities have various schools that conduct continuous research throughout the academic year, such as engineering, sciences, and business. Given the size of these research departments, they are by nature independent. However, many research projects may overlap in certain aspects, and can even collaborate to pursue further research. Our team is pursuing the feasibility of adapting software platforms for use as tools to facilitate research collaborations. Implementation of such software would enhance communication, data sharing, and productivity across research departments
