Design and Evaluation of a Lightweight Persistent Data Store for High-Frequent Concurrent Read and Write Accesses

This research project will systematically compare different design alternatives for a data store module that is tuned for concurrent accesses by multiple independent threads in a program. The particular access pattern is modelled after the specifics of automated securities trading programs implemented in Java. Based on a systematic evaluation, a prototype implementation will be developed […]

L2M – Pliantech

Spinal disorders are the largest cause of years lived with disability globally. Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is a common surgical approach to address dis degeneration, but reoperation rates can remain as high as 20%. Mechanical analysis of on-market designs and discussions with spine surgeons suggest this is linked to the mechanical design of the implants […]

L2M – High reliability free-space quantum communication in turbulent environments.

The objective of the proposal is to enable high-reliability free-space quantum communication in turbulence environments. Free-space optical and quantum communications face a critical hurdle of atmospheric turbulence induced distortions in propagating optical beams. This degrades signal purity in quantum key distribution (QKD) and long-distance optical transmission. Our vision for this project is to establish a […]

L2M-Free Flow Counterflow Gradient Focusing

Our project focuses on improving protein purification using a novel continuous separation method; Free-Flow Counterflow Gradient Focusing (FF-CGF). Traditional purification methods are slow, inefficient, and result in high sample loss, making it difficult for industries like pharmaceuticals and biotech to recover valuable proteins. Our technology offers a faster, more efficient alternative without the need for […]

Optimization of Carbonyl Produced Powder Metal Based Filaments for Low-Cost 3D Printing – Verification of Printability, Debinding Conditions and Application Potential.

The objective of this project is to create and improve metal-infused filaments for low-cost 3D printers by including recyclable elements. We combine recyclable and bio-based polymers with eco-friendly metal particles, including carbonyl nickel, to provide a durable and sustainable 3D printing material. During the first phase, we produce and test these metal/polymer filaments to ensure […]

Policy Innovation – CIGI

CIGI aims to address the lack of knowledge relating to regulations and decision-making of emerging dual-use technology. This initiative will focus on quantum technologies as a case-study. There is a need for knowledge-building, knowledge-translation and innovation to advance a technology-dynamics perspective in forming decisions on emerging dual-use technology (quantum). To address this need, CIGI proposes […]
