This project explores how young people in the global South, especially young women and girls, are taking active roles in addressing climate change and gender inequality. It focuses on youth groups and networks in the Caribbean and looks at how they bring gender concerns into climate action in ways that can open new paths for […]

This project is an research internship with SOKENDAI in Japan with the goal of gaining hands-on experience with advanced mass spectrometry techniques used in nuclear and atomic physics. During the internship, the intern will work alongside researchers at SOKENDAI to learn how Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry systems are operated, optimized, and used in active experiments. […]

During the 4-month internship, postdoctoral fellow Ruby Liu will (1) fabricate fibrous filter plugs from the amine-functionalized chitosan and cellulose materials; (2) characterize their surface charge and adsorption performance toward model anionic surfactants; and (3) perform filtration experiments at Merinov’s facility. The outcomes will provide proof-of-concept for integrating bio-based, renewable nanomaterials into industrial water-treatment systems. […]

This project develops a data-driven method to identify the internal dynamics of grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) converters in renewable-rich power systems using only output-side PMU measurements. Small, continuous perturbations (e.g., 0.01 p.u. in active/reactive power setpoints) are injected during normal operation to safely excite the system, and SINDy is applied to the recorded voltage, […]

Carbon dioxide (CO2) in air is commonly captured using alkaline electrolytes such as potassium hydroxide (KOH), which react with CO2 to form potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3). To convert the captured CO2 into useful chemical feedstocks or fuels, the absorbed solution is typically heated to regenerate pure CO2, which is then converted through chemical or electrochemical processes […]

This project will help Blü Creative Digital Technologies strengthen and validate the foundation of its secure, closed-loop AI platform used by governments and regulated organizations to manage policies, procurement documents, and institutional knowledge. The internship will focus on organizing large collections of internal documents into a trusted, searchable system that produces accurate, traceable, and permission-based […]

Semiconductor materials are central to modern technology, from clean energy generation and quantum computing to high-speed communication. Among them, gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires have attracted strong interest for their excellent electrical conductivity, optical performance, and thermal stability. These qualities make them ideal for energy-efficient devices such as solar cells, LEDs, and photoelectrochemical systems. However, their […]

This project will create a realistic virtual greenhouse where robots can practice picking and pruning. It improves plant physics (bending, fruit detachment), models cameras and depth sensors to produce training data, generates many varied greenhouse scenes, and links simulated robots to Kinova’s control software for end-to-end testing. The result: faster, cheaper R&D, fewer risky field […]

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common form of kidney cancer. Its metastatic form (mRCC) remains incurable and resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. Current treatments targeting the tumor microenvironment offer limited benefit, highlighting the need for new strategies based on disease biology. ccRCC is difficult to target due to its cellular heterogeneity […]

We propose to use AI to generate tuned antibodies that reduce side effects using GPT models fine-tuned from the AbilityGPT base language models created in the previous project. Starting with the AbilityGPT models based on several sizes, fine tune the models using sequences known to be active for selected targets. These may be selected from […]

Around the world, private equity funds and other investors have acquired social welfare service providers such as hospitals, physician groups, colleges, and childcare centres. While private equity funds bring significant financing to these sectors, private equity ownership is associated with reduced service quality, higher costs, and deteriorating working conditions for service providers—especially where private equity […]

Livestock production is the number one agricultural source of greenhouse gases worldwide. Research shows that livestock feed greatly contributes to greenhouse gases from meat, milk, and eggs, making up more than 70% of the total emissions. The information available to Jefo from a previous project with the same team shows that their feed additives can […]
