This project aims to enhance cybersecurity threat detection in response to attacks against Generative AI systems, by identifying novel characteristics in submissions to large language models (LLMs), and using these novel characteristics to generate innovative heuristics to scan for prominent threats to vulnerable GenAI system deployments. The challenge is twofold; first, augmenting existing extraction techniques […]

Infertility affects 15% of couples in the U.S. and Canada, with 20-50% of cases linked to male factors. Current treatments like Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) are costly, invasive, and have low success rates (5-15% per round), creating significant barriers for couples. Fertilead Inc. addresses these challenges with FertilEZ, a self-administered at-home fertility kit that improves sperm […]

This project aims to develop a portable and cost-effective microfluidic electrochemical sensor (MES) for detecting heavy and critical metal ions in water, including lead and lithium. The innovation integrates advanced microfluidics and electrochemical sensing to achieve on-site, real-time detection of contaminants, reducing the reliance on expensive and time-consuming laboratory methods. By leveraging low-cost fabrication techniques, […]

This project focuses on advancing the commercialization of a Sustainable Decision-Making Framework (SDMF) by refining an interactive Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model. The goal is to enhance the tool’s ability to visually represent decision pathways, making it more appealing and functional for potential customers. The project includes creating a Business Model Canvas, conducting a market […]

The industry-standard tunable diode laser (TDL) has a limited tuning range (only a few nanometers), and the output wavelength can only be adjusted thermally which is a slow process. Applications requiring faster tuning, utilize some sort of mechanical element, some systems utilize Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology but these are all still mechanical in nature and […]

Market Research for the Detection of TBI Biomarkers using Nanobiosensors

Multi-physics considerations are important for many engineering applications. For example, we may want to know at what rate heat is transferred between two different systems or how a fluid and solid interact with each other for applications such as turbo-machinery, parachutes, or blood flow through an artery. Engineers often rely on numerical methods to solve […]

There are however, a range of GCMs, future climate scenarios and downscalingtechniques that can be used and each yields different results. Due to this uncertainty, itis regarded as best-practice to use a collection of individual projections to develop“ranges” that characterize future climate conditions. The aim of this internship is toconduct this analysis for the variables […]

Global transition to a digital society has billions using microelectronic technology in their day-to-day activities. The increasing demand for miniaturization, speed, and reliability must be satisfied with a compact combination of multiple microchips. The technical constraints are quickly surpassing the capabilities of conventional circuit boards. Thus, silicon interposers, a high-cost, high-performance packaging solution for integrating […]

Advanced packaging and high-density chip stacking technologies are pivotal in the evolution of microelectronics, enabling enhanced performance through heterogeneous integration. Hybrid bonding interconnection has increasingly been recognized as the unique bonding method that meets the demands for high-density chip stacking. Cu/SiO2?hybrid bonding is the standard packing interface recently introduced in the industry. However, it faces […]

Advanced packaging and high-density chip stacking technologies are pivotal in the evolution of microelectronics, enabling enhanced performance through heterogeneous integration. As the industry moves toward reducing bump size and pitch, the bonding methodology has shifted from solder balls to Cu pillars. Although Cu pillars with solder caps have successfully replaced solder bumps, they encounter technical […]
