As the need for pandemic preparedness, assessing cross-infection risks based on the given indoor environmental conditions is crucial for preventing the spread of group infections. The objective of this research project is to analyze cross-infection risks with various types of mechanical ventilation systems in uncertain environments, such as locations and distances of the infector and […]

Organic semiconductors have driven the development of next generation technologies such as printable solar cells, flexible displays, and wearable electronics. Such devices are based on thin films of organic semiconductors, often blended with other semiconductors or nanomaterials. The structure and morphology of a thin film plays a crucial role in the performance and efficiency of […]

Cells cultured on planar surfaces adopt a variety of morphological shapes. Despite their seeming randomness, such morphology is determined by a biophysical process that represents the sum of multiple cellular processes. Cell morphology is dynamic, and cells change their shape with time and across different time scales, e.g. with local modification of the environment, or […]

The research project aims to explore rain droplet kinetic energy harvesting for advanced engineering applications in the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) technology. As the world increasingly seeks renewable energy sources and sustainable technologies, the concept of harvesting wasted energy forms from the environment gains significance. One promising avenue is reverse electrowetting on dielectric (REWOD), […]

The integration of biodiversity value in forest management is becoming more common and widely adopted across many countries. Despite the popularity of conifer plantations and thinning practices in Canada, the current knowledge on long-term effects of mechanical thinning on biodiversity is poorly understood. Saproxylic beetles are a group of insects associated with dead or dying […]

The Inuit language with most speakers is Kalaallisut, the official language of Greenland. Nevertheless, linguistic descriptions of Kalaallisut are far less numerous and complete than for European languages like English. In particular, there is little research on how speakers highlight new information and relate it to information already discussed earlier in a conversation – even […]

L’objectif principal de ce projet de recherche consiste à mener une étude approfondie sur les hommages dédiés aux champions des jeux panhelléniques. Cette recherche sera spécifiquement axée sur l’identification de preuves archéologiques, telles que statues, inscriptions et céramiques, visant à documenter l’existence d’un culte associé à la gloire athlétique dans l’Antiquité.

The main objective of this research project is to develop a better understanding of the ongoing struggle over natural resources in the Lacandon forest, a region that includes the Montes Azules and Lacantun Biosphere Reserves. The Lacandon forest is a resource rich area known for its fertile soil, sub-soil and huge potential for ecotourism. Yet, […]

In our proposed project, we aim to predict the behavior of large structures like buildings and bridges and key devices upon the large structures in response to natural hazard such as earthquakes. By combining cutting-edge deep learning techniques with the multi-fidelity concept, we’re developing a deep learning model that can predict the response time histories […]

Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has revolutionized surgical procedures, offering advantages over traditional methods. Currently, surgeons control robots for tasks like suturing and organ resection, leading to physical strain while the robot helps at the lower level by scalling down the movement and reducing hand tremor. These tasks are intricate and demand high dexterity and skill, leading […]

This project aims to benefit society by improving accessibility for viewers who may not be able to receive sound information well from the media content, including DHH viewers. To develop and research for the project, it is necessary to reflect an in-depth and multi-faceted case analysis on the topic of improving sound accessibility. To fulfil […]

A collaboration between experts in the domain of drone icing. A drone rotor will be installed in an icing wind tunnel to simulate flying under different atmospheric icing conditions. The resulting ice accumulation on the rotating blades will be studied as well as its effect on the drone performances and ability to fly. Scans of […]
