Unobtrusive Monitoring of Heart Failure and its Effect on Ballistocardiograph

It is important that heart failure patients monitor their condition at home. We are exploring devices that can improve the self-monitoring required of patients and send this information back to their doctors. A technology that we are testing is ballistocardiography (BCG). BCG is a mechanical vibration generated by your heart and is recorded using a […]

Generative AI Enhanced Financial and Risk Analytics – Part 1

In this research project, we plan to explore potential uses of generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, to enhance financial modeling. Trusting financial advice from Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) models is a challenge due to model “hallucinations”, necessitating careful verification and validation of the output. Therefore, we plan to take an alternative approach. We would […]

Investigation of mean flow and turbulence around submerged spur dikes

Riverbank erosion is a major concern around the world, caused by high river floods. Occurrences of intense floods in rivers, attributed to climate change, such as the recent (July 2023) incidents of cloudbursts and accompanying riverbank washouts in several parts of northern (Himalayan) India provide glaring examples. Protection against riverbank erosion is, therefore, a formidable […]

Analysis of Fluid-Structure Interactions in Constricted Flow

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of the cardiovascular system that involves hardening of arteries due to the deposition of plaque [1]. Atherosclerotic lesions in different locations may lead to a variety of diseases such as Coronary Artery Disease, Cerebrovascular Accident and Peripheral Artery Occlusive Disease which should be detected at early stage [2, 3]. To […]

Thermo-hydraulic performance of Lithium Battery in extreme weather conditions

The project is part of ‘InfiniBatt’ which is a smart battery system designed and developed by Motsai. This particular task for intern students aims to investigate the thermal simulation modeling of large range temperature (-40C~50C) controlled battery systems, with an emphasis on optimizing their performance, efficiency, and safety. The study involves the development and implementation […]

Developing an Advanced Vessel Relocation Tool for Extending Subsea Riser’s Lifetime

Subsea steel catenary risers (SCR) transfer the hydrocarbons from seabed reservoirs to floating vessels for processing, storage, and eventual transportation to shore. These risers are under wave and current loads and have a limited lifetime. There is strong demand from oil and gas companies to safely prolong the operational life of steel catenary risers. “Vessel […]

Experimental and modeling approaches to optimize repetitive task analysis in the automotive industry

Despite being a significant predictor of musculoskeletal injury, mitigating muscle fatigue in automotive assembly remains a significant challenge. Administrative controls, such as job rotation and work relief, are often employed to reduce fatigue exposures, but little guidance is available on their optimal use-cases. The first objective of this project is to evaluate different relief/rotation schedules […]

Simulation of the underwater vehicle

The internship will be centred on the simulation of the dynamics of the Proto towed vehicle platform. Go Beyond will produce an initial design for the intern to work with, which will strongly resemble a torpedo-shaped AUV. The Proto simulation research will take that design and study various aspects of its dynamics. The outcome of […]
