Development of an internal Credit Rating model for unrated companies / Quantitative alignment of portfolio risk against a client’s risk appetite

The first part of this project involves the development of an internal credit rating model. Credit ratings, such as those provided by credit rating agencies like S&P and Moody’s, are an important tool that measure the credit risk associated with different companies. However, as the markets expand there are an increasing number of companies where […]

Mean flow stress modeling towards development of high strength steel

Hot rolling is one of the most significant processes during modern steel production. Complex metallurgical phenomena could take place during and after the application of high pressure and temperature, which largely affect the product properties. A simulation or model that could predict these microscopic events real time is extremely beneficial in the production. Therefore, the […]

Developing Optimally Discriminative Subnetwork Markers for Predicting Response to Chemotherapy

Molecular profiles of tumour samples have been widely and successfully used for classification problems. Many algorithms have been proposed to predict classes of tumor samples based on expression profiles. However, prediction of response to cancer treatment has proved to be more challenging and novel approaches with improved generalizability are still highly needed. Recent studies have […]

Characterization of Stabilized Lithium Ion Battery Materials

Micro-scale particles composed of high-voltage spinel LNMO (LiNi1-xMnxO4) will be characterized using electron microscopy techniques. These particles are stabilized through the inclusion of coating materials. The methods to prepare these particle coatings consisted of either an in-situ or post-synthetic method. The interface between the particle and the coating will be characterized at the atomic-scale by […]
