Intergenerational Transmission of Child Abuse

This project focuses on understanding how child abuse is passed down through multiple generations by analyzing interviews with mothers about their experiences (collected previously) and then assessing maltreatment in subsequent generations. Using a unique and specialized coding system, the research will provide new insights into how abuse is perpetrated and perpetuated. The findings will help […]

Towards High Precision Spectroscopy on Antihydrogen

The matter and antimatter asymmetry that is observed within our universe is one of the more prevasive questions remaining in modern physics today. While theoretically appearing in equal amounts, physicists observe a distinct lack of antimatter in our universe, the nature of which is unknown. The Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA) Collaboration is an international […]

Identification of novel immunomodulators from Heligmosomoides bakeri

Parasitic worms make molecules that block their hosts immune responses, leading to chronic infections. The molecules, called immunomodulators, block immune responses to the worms themselves and have more general effects on the immune system. A small number have been characterised and can interfere with different immune pathways. Research is ongoing to develop them for managing […]

Exploring Quantum Computing for Public Transit Origin-Destination Matrix Estimation

This research explores the integration of quantum computing with statistical methods to enhance public transit origin–destination (OD) matrix estimation. Traditional OD estimation relies on automated fare collection (AFC) and automatic passenger counting (APC) data, which often present challenges due to incomplete coverage. Scaling techniques like iterative proportional fitting (IPF) help address these gaps, but their […]
