In this project, the results from Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey will be used to model dark matter mass distribution around galaxies in the galactic cluster. Observing weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies from the optical multi-band survey and determining its parameters will help us to simulate dark matter halos around galaxies, that cause lensing, […]

This research project will advance the development of a possible treatment for Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of childhood epilepsy caused by a genetic mutation. In Dravet syndrome, an important protein responsible for sending signals along the nerve fibers of the brain does not function, which results in overactivity and triggers debilitating and recurring seizures. […]

Although brain resilience has long been thought to be important, only recently have methods been developed to measure it directly. In the proposed research, we will use one such method–known as the cortical challenge and recovery test (CCaRT)–to see if we can identify signs of concussion at the level of brain resilience. We will have […]

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of error propagation in the PIV-pressure analysis and suggests two approaches: I) a formal analysis and II) corresponding algorithms for optimal sensor placement that minimize the error propagation from the measured data to the computed pressure field. By analyzing the Poisson problem together with boundary conditions, the optimal […]

The project “Detecting Phishing Websites using Machine Learning Techniques” aims to develop a method that can accurately identify and block malicious websites. Machine Learning algorithms will be used to analyze various website features, such as URL, page content, rank and other indicators to determine if it is a phishing site or not. By identifying and […]

Many fluid flows are dominated by the dynamics of vortex formation and convection. Examples of practical importance include flows over aircraft wings/wind turbine blades and environmental flows. Knowledge of vortex parameters such as position, radius, circulation, and convective velocity are needed to understand and predict the influence of vortices on flow development. Although a vortex […]

Membranes that are used in wastewater treatment have been found to clog more rapidly at cold temperatures. This study will examine alternative operating strategies that will reduce clogging and thereby reduce the needs for extra energy and chemical consumption under these operating conditions.

The intern will be working on a research project aimed improving scalability and applicability of automated reasoning tool called SPACER by improving the way it deals with special data types. Overall, the goal of this project is to make SPACER a more effective and reliable tool for verifying program correctness.

Open-ended problem solving plays an important role in industrial innovation, product development, strategy formulation, and many other applications. The study will use experimental methods to investigate the behaviour of individuals while solving open-ended problems, and will entail the gathering and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data. Individual problem-solving tasks will be given to participants […]

The project is dedicated to the explore how the effective interface for a small modular nuclear reactor should look considering human factors and current digital technology design trends. The research will review the significance and application of modern human-computer interaction techniques to ensure a better user experience and to achieve substantial safety and operational benefits […]

A new aqueous rechargeable battery combining an intercalation cathode with a metal anode has been developed recently. The energy density for a prototype battery is comparable or superior to commercial 2 V rechargeable batteries. There is a need to further improve the cycle performance and to reduce self-discharge effects of this battery. In this proposed […]

There is increasing urgency to accelerate sustainability progress and address growing social and environmental challenges. Current approaches to solving these complex issues, such as new technology and governance, are failing to support the kinds of changes needed to collective wellbeing. Interest is growing around how individual values, worldviews, beliefs, and consciousness can be transformed so […]
