The project consists of two independent segments. The first part, to be managed by PhD student Yoonseok Jwa, aims to develop and evaluate new photogrammetric computer vision algorithms for detecting and identifying POAs and insulator types attached to power lines (PL). The expected benefit to the partner can be summarized as: (a) Efficiency- automatic detection […]

We are well aware of the impact heart disease has in thalassemia patients. This impacts upon patients quality of life, and ultimately that death due to heart failure is an all too common event. We now understand much about the complexity of the heart, its structure and how it functions. This has also allowed researchers […]

Steroid drugs and creatine are treatments for muscle weakness in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Steroid drugs can also cause problems like weakening mitochondria which are the energy producing parts of muscle cells. Duchenne also makes it harder for mitochondria to use creatine for energy. This means that both treatments may not be doing the […]

In the human visual system, light that reaches the eye is processed by the brain and understood in shapes, colours, and intensities. In the instance of digital cameras, light that reaches a camera sensor must undergo processing to be presented in a human-readable format. The process that achieves this task is known as the in-camera […]

Replica Analytics provides technology for generating synthetic data. This data is generated from real data. Although it shares statistical properties with real data, it is not real data. Replica Synthesis is Replica Analytics’ flagship product that generates synthetic data. The intern will carry out a case study by identifying real data to generate synthetic data, […]

Microplastics cause severe environmental issues, damage to ecosystems and harm animal and human health. This project aims to develop low-cost and/or portable microplastic detection platforms. In the proposed project, a particle focusing microfluidic device will be developed and integrated with the Raman spectroscopy equipment at industry partner site to maximize the light scattering effect and […]
