Qubits are fundamental units for quantum computation. Photonics is a promising physical medium to realize large-scale quantum computation. One proposal to realize photonic qubits was proposed by Gottesman, Kitaev and Preskill (GKP). Here, the logical qubit is encoded into states of a bosonic mode or a quantum harmonic oscillator. It is expected that such a […]

The purpose of this project is to support the development of wellness-focused interventions, including weight management, mental health and social well-being for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). To date, the focus of health promotion interventions have primarily focused on typically developing children and adolescents, rather than those with IDD. The partner organization, Special […]

The proposed research aims to map and locate pollutant sources by deploying a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) after a natural or human induced disaster in order to sense, assess and aid in search-and-rescue operations. We aim to use a heterogeneous team, armed with an array of gaseous and […]

Ring-tail lemurs (Lemur catta) are a highly social species with distinct breeding seasons. During the breeding season, ring-tail lemurs have been shown to experience elevated fecal glucocorticoid concentrations, a known marker of physiological stress. The social buffering literature suggests that some of this stress may be alleviated by increased levels of oxytocin, a hormone that […]

Portfolio management is a well-known multi-factor optimization problem, which involves historical price data, macroeconomic data and market indicators. Many researches have been conducted to find optimal portfolio allocation using machine learning. However, some limitations still exist, such as incorporating multiple factors into a single model, the robustness for encountering economic events, and potential bias by […]

Immune therapies for cancer are in their early stages and require further investigation to improve their function. Chemokines and their receptors are responsible for directing white blood cells to various parts of the body. Because they are so important in controlling the immune response, they make ideal targets for therapy. To exploit this, we aim […]

In much the same way that silicon in the 1970s led to the modern information technology industry, the development of advanced materials will fuel many of the emerging industries that will address challenges in energy, national security, healthcare, and other areas. Yet the time it takes to move a newly discovered advanced material from the […]

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes and cancer cells in a process called phagocytosis. They are often involved in development of inflammation, but in some settings can have the opposite effect. Much research is dedicated to investigating how macrophages develop […]

The Digital Fabrication Lab (Fab Lab) is situated in a high-risk zone where many youths become get involved in local gangs or else have to leave the area in order to study or obtain formal employment. The FabLab’s mission is to design a solution that is compatible to the local practices and context on order […]

The Diocesan Food Bank of Guadalajara (BDA) is a Civil Society organization which has operated in the Jalisco state of Mexico since 1991. Its main function is the management and distribution of food donated by companies and individuals, which are destined to the poor families of the State of Jalisco. Jalisco is home to 8.3 […]
