The effects of various dairy products on the gut microbiota

Probiotic bacteria may be the reason why dairy products are good for you. Some dairy foods may change how the gut microbiota
is made up, which can help with weight control and metabolic health. But it’s not clear how dairy products could fix the bad effects
of a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet on lipid and glucose metabolism by changing the GI microbiota. So, the goal is twofold: 1) to
find out how the different types of dairy affect the gut microbiota in a mouse model of a high-fat, high-sugar diet; and 2) to find out
how gut microbes change the way the body uses energy.

Automatic Machine Learning for Recommender Systems

This project aims to improve recommendation systems by using advanced computer techniques called Auto
Machine Learning and Meta Machine Learning. This involves automating parts of the machine learning process,
like finding similar data and picking the best settings for the computer model. This project also aims to make it
easier for others to set up these systems by automating significant portions of the work, like deciding which
features to use. Current research methods will be analyzed and evaluated to find the best methods. Overall, the
goal is to create smarter recommender systems that can learn on their own with less human help, while also
making the recommendations more accurate and helpful for customers.

Detection of Cloud Network Traffic Abnormalities

This research project aims to develop a technique for detecting and analyzing security incidents in their early stages, reducing the potential impact on an organization’s operations. Conventional methods of deep packet inspection (DPI) and network monitoring solutions only identify frequently occurring traffic patterns, and security threats are often not detected until it’s too late. The project investigates a new approach that takes a “horizontal perspective” to detect outliers by identifying packets with out-of-distribution attributes and a “vertical perspective” to detect unusual patterns formed by common packets during a certain interval. The project will also develop countermeasures for specific attacks and general abnormalities. The expected benefit for the partner organization is early detection of security incidents, reducing the risk of data breaches and damage to the organization’s operations.

Étude de la variation des propriétés physiques et chimiques du bois du pin sylvestre

Le pin sylvestre (Pinus sylvestris) fait partie des espèces les plus dominantes de la forêt méditerranéenne et il est connu pour sa croissance rapide et sa capacité d’adaptation à divers sites écologiques. Dans cette étude, plusieurs méthodes seront utilisées (densitomètre à rayon X et la spectroscopie proche infrarouge (NIRS)) pour déterminer les propriétés physiques (densité) et chimiques (cellulose, hémicellulose, lignine et extractibles) de cette essence. L’objectif général de ce travail est d’étudier les différents caractères de la qualité du bois du pin sylvestre et leurs variations. Plus précisément, nous allons évaluer la croissance, la densité des cernes et les caractéristiques chimiques de cette essence. Les programme d’amélioration génétique des arbres forestiers profitent bien des résultats de cette étude sur les propriétés du bois pour les intégrer comme critères de sélection.

Navigation and dynamic obstacle avoidance for UAVs in cluttered indoor GPS-denied environments

With the evolution of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in recent years, more and more researchers are setting their sights on the application research of indoor environment. Indoor applications include industrial facility inspection, warehouse inventory management, health sector, search and rescue, among others. However, the use of UAVs in these applications requires continuous high-accuracy positioning and pose information, and consequently an efficient obstacle avoidance algorithm. The current implementation uses Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) to compute pose information, rapidly exploring Random Trees (RRTs) for path planning, and the PX4 stack for navigation. The goal of the project is to design an obstacle avoidance system which can avoid both static and dynamic (slow and fast moving) objects while executing optimal path planning strategy.

Wi-Fi SSID Based Positioning System

The use of indoor location-aware applications such as augmented reality, social networking, health care monitoring, asset tracking, and inventory control is on the rise. However, accurately locating Wi-Fi based devices within buildings can be a challenge, particularly in areas where GPS signals are unavailable. This research project focuses on finding ways to locate indoor devices with high precision using Wi-Fi signal patterns and strength, combined with GPS markers gathered from other devices. By analyzing a large dataset of mobile devices, the goal is to identify the most effective techniques for accurately locating Wi-Fi devices in GPS-denied environments

Out of Distribution Detection in Deep Generative Models

As generative models become increasingly prominent in machine learning, the need for accurately detecting out-of-distribution data has become crucial. The primary objective of this research is to develop an approach that can identify when the program encounters data that is vastly different from what it was trained on. In machine learning, programs may make errors when they encounter data that is dissimilar to what they have learned. To tackle this issue, we will investigate various techniques utilizing deep generative models to help the program comprehend what types of data it should expect to encounter. However, even the most sophisticated deep generative models may occasionally mistake new data as similar to old data, leading to inaccurate predictions. Therefore, we aim to investigate the underlying reasons for this phenomenon and explore potential solutions to address this issue.

A putative chloroplast Ustilago maydis effector causes morphological changes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plants have several ways of defending themselves from plant pathogens including physical structures such as thick cuticles and defense hormones such as salicylic acid. The latter induces a cascade of plant defense responses that can ultimately lead to resistance. Similarly, to successfully invade their host, plant pathogens secrete a cocktail of proteins called effectors that favour the virulence of the pathogen. We identified seven candidate effector proteins from the corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, that potentially target the maize host’s chloroplasts, which are the organelles where the biosynthesis of salicylic acid happens. The overexpression of these seven potential effectors in the non-host Arabidopsis thaliana led to the foundation of this project. When overexpressed in A. thaliana, I found that one potential chloroplast effector caused a substantial morphological change in the plant, despite no changes in its susceptibility to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv, maculicola. I plan to use the exchange in Germany to identify the plant interacting partner of this effector protein. This will further our understanding of the role of different effector proteins in causing morphological changes in their host in order to facilitate their development in planta.
