Applying energy conservation methods plays an important role in making existing buildings more energy efficient. However, energy conservation methods are usually in contradiction with the occupants’ satisfaction. In other words, more conservative energy strategies result in less occupants’ satisfaction. Also, when it comes to shared spaces occupied by people with different preferences, finding a trade-off […]

A plethora of business models have encouraged the proliferation and expansion of devices connectivity through network densification through 5G core solution. The complexity of the network as well as its ability to evolve constantly have change the way to secure is operated. Security needs to be based on constant monitoring to detect malicious behavior across […]

I propose to design a platform to detect and filter out particles on the order of 10 nanometers from a liquid in a dynamic environment. An optical cavity confines very large amounts of light is made by modifying a capillary optical fiber for which the light circulates around the outer edge. This large amount of […]

Human operators show significant variability in performance when operating in complex manufacturing systems that are usually referred to human errors. Such errors are identified as the failure to perform an action within the safe operating limit and often lead to product quality defects. Approximately 50%-80% of the incidents and accidents in safety-critical systems have been […]

Antibiotic resistance represents a major health problem for society. With the expanded use of antibiotics, microorganisms have developed various mechanisms of resistance to overcome the effects of once highly effective agents. There is therefore an urgent need to identify new therapies to counteract resistant strains. The intern will design and identify new drugs that are […]

My research project is motivated by the desire to understand how the sense of self is altered by biomedical imagining technologies, and what role the arts can play to remedy the schism between medical scans and the lived experiences of an ill patient. From my previous ethnographic research, I have come to believe that medical […]

The research to be undertaken in Ireland is a part of my dissertation project, entitled “Wild Tides: Media Infrastructure, Built Space, and Financialization in Post-Crisis Ireland.” The project widely investigates the intersections of various industries—media, tech, tourism, and finance—which have been strategically deployed in Ireland’s post-financial crisis political and cultural landscape as areas for recovery, […]

Data centers (DCs) in network softwarization and 5G eras are significantly different from those operated nowadays by public cloud providers. They are massively distributed, closer to end-users, heterogeneous (e.g., multi-access edge, central office as a data center, etc.) and rely on much more complex technologies (e.g., Network Functions Virtualization [NFV] and Software-Defined Networking [SDN]). This […]

Highly accurate spatial measurement systems are among the enabling technologies that make image-guided surgery possible in modern operating theatres. We consider the problem of positional accuracy assessment for robotic surgical tool while using a multiple camera optical tracking system (OTS). Since the position of the surgical tool with respect to the bone is guided by […]

Ranger Design is a manufacturer of van storage units and accessories. Since order picking activities are considered to be an integral part of its warehouse operations and perceived to be conducive to significant improvements, re-engineering and optimization of the order picking process are in order. As such, the company is looking for an opportunity to […]

The Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC), in collaboration with the Obesity Canada [formerly known as the Canadian Obesity Network- Réseau canadien en obésité (CON-RCO)] developed a new public educational tool on healthy living called “Let’s talk about weight: No size fits all”. This educational resource targets Canadian adults who may be concerned about their weight […]
