We will create a tool that leverages advanced Natural Language Processing techniques to identify various named entities and their relationships from the ample of police case files containing text data. We will also create a validation tool and a visualization tool that will help us create a trustable AI tool for advanced police case file […]

The aim of the research is to conduct two studies. The first component is to conduct a robust literature review on methods to estimate above and below carbon in temperate (green carbon), and mangrove ecosystems (blue carbon). This component of the proposed research will be aimed to identify a package of monitoring tools that can […]

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) when used in conjunction with clear aligner orthodontic treatment has been shown in clinical studies literature to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, reduce orthodontically induced tooth root resorption, and shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment. In-market use of LIPUS technology as an adjunct the clear aligners has grown significantly over […]

The trainees of this project will develop methods and techniques to test the effects of antivirals on white blood cells and set up a platform to test the preclinical toxicity of new potential antiviral compounds. White blood cells can exacerbate viral infections, yet there are few studies on how antivirals may have off target effects […]
