Many organizations feel unsatisfied with the results of leadership training programs. To tackle this problem, this research project explores new ways to make leader training more engaging and effective. Drawing on theories about human motivation and self-views, the project tests three different intentions to improve leader training. The first study investigates whether focusing on personal […]

Waste heat boilers provide an important function in many industries, taking hot process flows and cooling them down while at the same time creating valuable steam which can be used to save power in other parts of the plant. This project will use Computational Multiphysics Simulations (CMS) to model the inner workings of these important […]

In this project, the effective life of advanced Li-ion batteries will be assessed using experimental tools and predictive modeling. Li-ion batteries have emerged as an alternative source of energy on-board cars, i.e., electric vehicles (EVs). Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs suffer from performance degradation over driving and idle time posing limitations on their […]

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metallic alloys which can undergo deformation and return to their original form when heated above their characteristic transformation temperature. Due to their unique properties, SMAs have found use in the aerospace, robotics, biomedical, and automotive industries, among others. Traditional SMAs are limited to one distinct transformation temperature per individual component, […]

The intern’s study builds on an international survey previously completed in partnership with ICLEI. The study aims to test key structural features in the partnerships for implementing community sustainability plans and how these features are related to plan outcomes (i.e., sustainability progress). To study structure features, the intern will test key factors, such as partner […]

The healthcare industry is shifting from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) care to real world data (RWD) to understand how well an intervention performs in clinical practice. The best source of RWD is source data – that is, data that are collected at the interface of the patient and the health care system. The University of […]

Heterogeneity of cell populations is a common occurrence in bioreactor operations (Lara et al., 2006) and is typically caused by processing of cell cultures in vessels of varying sizes and process conditions and by deficient mixing. Most bioreactor research deals with average conditions of the cell population with respect to quantities such as dissolved oxygen […]

The proposed research project targets anomaly detection of event data. The project has a duration of six months and aims to achieve two objectives: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel approach for real-world data, and (2) compare it to alternative methods. The intern will use existing research resources, and will apply them to […]

Cryptography allows to achieve the privacy of conversation between communicating parties by means of encryption. In the core of many cryptosystems lie mathematical problems that are difficult to solve. However, many of these problems, though intractable to attacks carried through electronic computers, are vulnerable to quantum computer attacks. ISARA is a security solutions company that […]

The performance of non-precious metal catalysts (NPMCs) for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has now reached a stage at which they can be considered as possible alternatives to expensive Pt, especially for low power applications. However, despite significant efforts on catalyst development in the past, only limited studies have been performed on NPMC-based electrode […]
