Development of normal physiological behaviour classification using multi-modal biomarker dataset towards machine learning-driven medical devices.

This project aims to develop a large, labelled dataset of normal canine behaviour for use in developing machine learning algorithms to detect abnormal animal physiological behaviour. These machine learning algorithms will enable veterinarians to collect high-quality data of their patients in their natural environments. This innovative solution has the potential to improve the quality of […]

Thermodynamic modelling of binary and ternary deep eutectic solvents

Green solvents are expected to present certain features: availability, non-toxicity, recyclability, biodegradability, non-flammability and low cost. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been studied for the last two decades as a greener alternative to organic solvents since they have cheaper production, are less toxic and are commonly biodegradable. Although phase diagrams of several DESs have been […]
