High power all-fiber Raman laser at 1.65 ?m

Fiber lasers have become the fastest-growing laser with a projected worldwide revenue up to $1.41 billion in 2017. In particular, fiber lasers at 1.65 ?m have drawn increasing attention with potential applications in chemical sensing, LIDAR and spectroscopy. All-fiber Raman lasing technology is a promising and efficient technology to achieve high power lasing at 1.65 […]

Technology and Tools for Quantitative Neurodiagnostics Using Ultra-High Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The project aims to translate developments in ultra-sensitive MRI sensors to a clinically-relevant setting. To create high-sensitivity sensors for better images, we aim to create a tight-fitting system which places the sensors—akin to antennas—closer to the brain. This will improve the quality of the signals that we can extract from the brain, and allow us […]

Mixed Ni-Fe-oxide cathodes for hydrogen production by water electrolysis

Traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels, are rapidly being depleted. Furthermore, CO2, one of the byproducts of burning these fuels, increases environmental risk such as climate change. Therefore, novel renewable energy paths are being developed to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. Hydrogen, a clean energy carrier, is considered to be the best alternative […]

Improving Metallic Yield in a Steel Rolling Plant through Optimization

The objective of this project is to use optimization to improve metallic yield (the percentage of raw material that ends up as usable product) in an ArcelorMittal Steel Rolling Plant. The metallic yield of the rolling operations depends upon the length of billets from which the final product is manufactured. Ideally, a single customer order […]

Self-powered microchips for rapid diagnosis and severity determination of urinary tract infections

Children presenting a fever without known sources are usually checked for bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) which, in its more complicated forms, can result in permanent kidney damage. The gold standard conventional tests to diagnose complicated urinary tract infections are urine culture and kidney imaging with a radioactive tracer. However, these tests are lengthy (urine […]

A novel home cage testing environment for frontal cortical neuronal recording in marmosets – Year two

Marmosets are a valuable model for investigating the neural bases of behaviour and cognition, and there has been a substantial increase in marmoset use in translational neuroscience research over the last few years. A comfortable environment is critical for marmoset neurophysiological testing. At Rogue Research the fellow will be involved in developing a unique apparatus […]
