Doctoral candidate Yung-Yu Lin is hoping to visit New York to conduct a complete research on George Rochberg’s 50 Caprice Variations for solo violin with Professor Janette Tilley at Lehman College, the City University of New York (CUNY). 50 Caprice Variations draws on a vast array of historical stylistic references from the Baroque to the […]

The main research theme of the project is to achieve reconfigurable assembly state of plasmonic NPs by controlling its trapping agent, LCs, under multi-stimuli system. There are two kinds of multi-stimuli LC control platform; one is static system in which anchoring, rubbing, and confinement can be modified, while the other is dynamic system which is […]

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most common and deadly disorders of the gastrointestinal tract in preterm infants, accounting for the second highest percentage of neonatal deaths. Although the underlying disease mechanisms are still unclear, the increased incidence of NEC has been associated with excessive antibiotic use during pregnancy. Newborns become exposed to […]

PbS CQDs solar cells have limitations of improving the efficiency due to low open-circuit voltage (Voc) and low absorbance between 600 nm and 900 nm. To solve these problems, PbS CQDs-polymer hybrid tandem solar cell was developed by introducing a low band-gap polymeric photo-active layer, exhibiting high absorbance in the region of 600 nm to […]

Ultra-reliable and low latency communication is increasingly an important aspect of future wireless communications. Specifically, in the context of mission critical communications for large-scale networks of sensors and actuators in automated and/or remote-control applications, low-latency wireless communication with high level of determinism is a vital element. The key performance indicators for such use case are […]

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is a reactive molecule which shows surprising reactivity toward various small molecules – such as bond activation of inert compounds. Although NHCs have shown their great reactivity, there still remains a lot of interesting molecules yet to be activated by NHCs. The objective of this project is to elevate the reactivity of […]

For my MA thesis, I am studying the social implications of forest landscape restoration in India. India’s compensatory afforestation policy requires mining and infrastructure projects to offset deforestation by planting ‘compensatory’ trees. The scale of this initiative is huge: over $7 billion USD of offset payments have accumulated with the Compensatory Afforestation Management and Planning […]

The bestiary, derived from the Latin bestiarium, was a medieval genre comprised of animal catalogues, each providing descriptions, anecdotes, and illustrations of real and imaginary beasts. Often plotless, targeting women and children, decorated with lavish imagery, and laden with Catholic allegory, medieval bestiaries exploited animals’ appeal and rhetorical plasticity to educate and enforce conformity in […]

Manual contract analysis and management is a laborious task. dTrax is Deloitte’s managed solution to this problem—it uses machine learning to automate the arduous contract management process and help users gain further insight from contracts. Specifically, dTrax will be used to standardize the intake of legal contracts, generate and edit contracts within a web interface, […]

Understanding the 3D world around us is a key goal in computer science. If we are endowed with 3D understanding, we can solve problems in several areas in computer science such as robotics, fast 3D modelling and physical reasoning. However, it is not clear how 3D objects can be represented because of the high dimensionality […]

The remote First Nations communities of Canada suffer from a dire lack of access to emergency response systems and services during times of crises. They lack access to life-saving services such as paramedics, 911 services, and search and rescue services due to their geographic isolation. This often puts them in grave danger and results in […]
