People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) treated with a basal bolus insulin regimen need to match their insulin bolus calculation with the estimated carbohydrate content of food to maintain glucose control. We want to provide them with a more flexible approach and give them the opportunity to quickly adapt mealtime insulin using automated carbohydrate counting […]

The research proposed here aims to develop methods to increase the flight time of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using atmospheric energy in the form of rising air thermals, as is often done by glider pilots. This would allow UAVs to rely less on their onboard motor and reduce the amount of energy consumed during flight. […]

Preliminary clinical trials harnessing the immune system of cancer patients to combat disease have shown to have impressive efficacy. Immune cells isolated from a patient are genetically altered to allow for improved detection of cancerous cells and subsequently re-introduced into the patient. Yet despite its promise, rapid and cost effective manufacturing of this therapy remains […]

The learning of bimanual skills is very important in spine surgery since errors can result in poor patient outcomes. Surgical trainees develop these skills by watching expert surgeons do operations and as they acquire more experience, they are given more responsibility to perform complex operations. The limitations of this learning method are the low numbers […]

Cannabinoid uniformity plays an important role on the quality and marketability of cannabis. Several strategies to optimize cannabinoid uniformity have not been extensively researched to date. The objective of this study is to evaluate lighting and defoliation strategies to maximize yield and uniformity of cannabinoids throughout cannabis plants. A randomized block design will be used […]

A foundation model (FM) is any model that is trained at scale on a broad dataset and can be adapted (e.g., fine-tuned) to a wide range of downstream tasks; current examples include BERT, CLIP and GPT-3. In this project, we investigate the challenges of building foundational models for drug discovery: capturing multi-modal information, explainability, and […]
