The purpose of this project is to analyze data collected over a 4-year period as part of a funded Research-Practice Partnership between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a local public school district. The data was collected across two elementary schools to explore the teaching of Critical Multilingual Language Awareness (CMLA) in mainstream and bilingual elementary […]

In a geographical information system, latitude, longitude, and height are commonly used to represent the location of a point on or near the Earth’s surface. The first two, called horizontal coordinates, refer to reference ellipsoid and are known as geodetic latitude (?) and longitude (?). The third coordinate, i.e. height of a point is referenced […]

The main priority in our research is telling the stories of the youth in the area and translating these lived experiences on paper and collaborating together to present their own narratives. Through a series of interviews documenting our participants lived realities we will attempt to identify the impediments to their access to digital and internet […]

The student will help the business analytics team to perform NLP analysis by integrating relevant tools offered by AWS, Google Cloud, and OpenAI API.

The inclusion of touch and physical sensations from within Virtual Reality and other Mixed Reality experiences provides exciting opportunities from both an entertainment and academic perspective. Enhancing immersive integration within these environments is useful, beneficial and thus highly desired- whether we are looking to develop skills for use in challenging technical and medical or dangerous […]

Speech-driven gesture synthesis is the process of automatically generating relatable and realistic gestures given speech and high-level attributes such as speaker’s style. It is an active research area with applications in video games, animated movies, communicative agents, and human-computer interaction. Commonly, a database of gestures is manually created which are then triggered at different times […]

The proposed project involves the development of a microgrid energy management system (or microgrid control unit – MCU) to synchronize the actions of devices such as batteries, solar panels, and other generators to achieve increased energy savings. The MCU will allow all devices to interact and exchange information seamlessly, in a “plug and play” fashion. […]

Petroleum hydrocarbons (comprise crude oil, gasoline, and diesel) are an important energy resource used by industries and human. At the same time, contamination by oil and oil products has caused serious harm to humans and the environment and increasing attention has been paid to the development and implementation of innovative technologies for the removal of […]

This project aims to develop and evaluate new geometric modeling algorithms of power line and building objects required for conducting power-line related asset risk analysis in challenging environment considering wind blowing effects. The project also aims to integrate newly developed algorithms into York University’s in-house power line modeling test bed and evaluate their performance using […]

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a debilitating disease that causes weakness in muscles the move the body as well as the diaphragm. This disease results in severe immobility and can make it difficult to breathe. Strong anti-inflammatories are often prescribed to patients, but the side effects and limited effectiveness underscores the need for developing additional therapies. […]

Back posture and muscle activation are effected by the alignment and behaviour of joints below: the hip, knee, ankle, and foot. Neuromuscular training insoles use disruptive technology to change how the feet respond to interactions with the ground. If such an insole can improve the foot??s ability to sense orientation/position and the required stabilization for […]
