In daily tasks such as driving or walking down the street, our visual system must select a subset of information to attend to while filtering out unnecessary information. Failure to filter out distractions can have dire consequences (e.g. injuries, collisions), and little is known about the cognitive mechanisms that govern attentional control or how to […]

Lors de mon premier projet de recherche pour le doctorat, j’ai conduit des entrevues portant sur le stress et la douleur de personnes affectées de douleur lombaire chronique. Lors de ces entrevues, nous avons observé que plusieurs participants avec des niveaux similaires de douleur semblaient avoir de grandes variations dans leur description de la souffrance […]

The overall objective of the research is to find out to what extent air pollution affects the lives of the residents of Nanjing, China. We are going to use a well-known method in economics, the contingent valuation, to study the willingness to pay of the inhabitants of this city, for a reduction of air pollution […]

Le projet de recherche vise à développer de petites particules capables de contenir de la nisine, un agent de conservation couramment utilisé dans l’alimentaire et qui présente également des propriétés anticancéreuses. L’objectif est de protéger cette molécule en l’enveloppant dans des nanoparticules, afin qu’elle puisse restée intacte et active quand elle est placée en contact […]

This project aims to enhance the accuracy of identifying health issues in chest X-ray images. The team will develop a specialized tool, known as a “chest-tube detection model”, which will initially examine all X-rays to identify cases where patients have already received medical assistance, making it unnecessary to flag these cases. Subsequently, the remaining X-rays […]

One key challenge of subcarrier phase-shift keying (PSK) system using coherent modulation is the synchronization problem at the receiver because the residual synchronization error will introduce performance degradation to the system. In the proposed research project, I will investigate the effect of synchronization error on performance of SIM OWC system in atmospheric turbulence. The performance […]

The internal combustion engine will remain the major source of transportation power for decades to come. This project will focus on the control technologies related to minimizing engine-out emission and improving fuel efficiency. Through collaborative control of the engine and its aftertreatment system, an overall optimization of emission and fuel consumption can be realized. The […]

This research project aims to discuss the construction of citizenship in urban peripheries. Specifically, it is interested in understanding how different political projects – such as neoliberal and democratic-participatory – influence the citizenship-building. To achieve this, we will conduct a case study of the Central Única das Favelas (CUFA), an organization created in the peripheries […]

Dans les sports aériens (parachutisme, parapente, bodyflight, gymnastique, etc.) l’obtention de données télémétriques fiables est nécessaire à l’amélioration du processus d’entraînement à tous les niveaux, des sportifs débutants aux champions du monde. La télémétrie peut être utilisée pour l’évaluation de figures acrobatique, la performance, ainsi que pour améliorer la sécurité des sports aériens. À ce […]

This research project aims to investigate the role of social media in information warfare, focusing on Russian propaganda campaigns related to the war in Ukraine. By collecting and analyzing tweets, the project will identify narratives and strategies used in these campaigns. The data will be classified and employed to train a machine learning model capable […]

Advancements in the development of new materials suitable for structural applications are strongly influenced by the understanding of the governing deformation mechanisms. While these deformation mechanisms are mostly understood in simpler crystal structures of the basic metals, their fundamental understanding in complex crystals, which are frequently present in commercial alloys is still lacking. In the […]

Involving some of the smartest students in Ukraine, the research project and partnership will enrich the Master of Global Affairs and Master of Public Policy programs at the Munk School. KSE students will provide Munk community a window into the Ukrainian policymaking process as well as a more general understanding of governance during conflict. Simultaneously, […]
