Recognition of cognitive states during simulated human-vehicle interaction from EEG signals.

The project will investigate how common distractions, such as cell phone use, impact drivers’ ability to stay attentive and respond appropriately on the road. Using electroencephalography (or EEG) to monitor brain activity, we will look for patterns indicating attention or fatigue during simulated human-vehicle interaction, and classification algorithms will also be used to recognize these […]

Proteomic Analysis of Microbial Communities for Enhanced Bioremediation of BTEX Contaminated Sites

Soil and groundwater pollution with harmful petroleum contaminants such as BTEX is a global concern. BTEX has carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, therefore, it is essential to remove such contaminants for a healthy ecosystem. Microorganism-mediated bioremediation is an extremely promising technique that is cost-effective, efficient, and safe for the environment. However, limited biological knowledge about the […]

Transition comportementale dans l’adoption des technologies domestiques durables

La consommation d’énergie résidentielle est responsable d’une part considérable des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) des ménages. La majeure partie de cette consommation provient de sources d’énergies fossiles. Une transition rapide et profonde de la consommation des énergies fossiles vers des énergies renouvelables et de l’adoption des technologies facilitatrices peut contribuer de […]

Comprehensive evaluation of data-driven mode decomposition techniques for the analysis of separating and reattaching flows

This research project will systematically evaluate data-driven mode decomposition techniques (POD, Spectral POD (SPOD), finite impulse response SPOD (FIR-SPOD) and a machine-learning (ML) based nonlinear method) for separating and reattaching flows using existing experimental and numerical databases of a laminar boundary layer approaching an FFS. There will provide three significant results: (1) critical insight as […]
