Urban Morphology and Soundscape: Exploring the Influence of Forms and Surfaces on Noise Dynamics

Acoustic Ornamentality will study the influence that our built environment has on shaping our local soundscapes and the propagation and attenuation of anthropogenic noise pollution. Malta’s vernacular Gallarija and abundance of architecture constructed of limestone, a porous rock, and renaissance and baroque architecture defined by it’s fine ornamentality and craftmanship offer potential greater attenuation of […]

Development of rechargeable hybrid aqueous batteries for cost-effective, large scale energy storage

High capacity battery systems are becoming as important as their smaller analogues which are currently in use in mobile devices. Rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs serve as uninterruptible power supplies or energy stores in electronic vehicles (EVs) and realize the EV technology for many countries. This promotes sustainable development while addressing air quality and climate change. […]

Developing ROV-based Workflows for Coastal Monitoring in a Changing Climate

In many parts of the Great Lakes, including southeastern Lake Huron, coastal bluffs are eroding. This poses a significant threat to homes, infrastructure, and the region’s tourism industry. To reduce damage to infrastructure, local conservation authorities create development setbacks to try to prevent new structures from being built in harms way. However, these setbacks are […]

Distributed Quantum Algorithms

Quantum advantages designate situations where processing qubits of information solves a task significantly more efficiently than processing classical bits of information in some basic abstract scenario. Our understanding of quantum advantages for distributed computing is limited. In particular, it is not well understood whether quantum information can deal with issues inherent to networks such as […]
