Identifying DNA repair deficiencies across lung cancer progression

This project investigates how metastatic lung cancer develops and evolves over time. DNA sequencing can be utilised to identify patterns in cancer genomes associated with specific sources of mutation (eg: UV rays, tobacco smoke, intrinsic cellular processes). Additionally, cancers may acquire defects in DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in a positive feedback loop of increasing mutation […]

Machine Learning-Based Improved WCM Technique for Soil Moisture Retrieval with Synergy of Sentinel-1 and Landsat 8 Data

Soil moisture is a crucial land-based parameter that governs the energy and mass equilibrium in land-atmosphere interactions. Unfortunately, the conventional measurement methods do not facilitate the effortless monitoring of soil moisture’s spatial and temporal variability at a regional scale. Satellite remote sensing data presents a viable solution to address the limitations and propose an alternative […]

Calibration Of The Heston Model

Traditionally, the Heston model has been calibrated using a combination of least squares, options inference and gradient methods. However, a new calibration technique has recently been developed based on the explicit solution and stochastic calculus techniques. This new method could greatly simplify and improve the accuracy of the process. The explicit price solution and the […]

Complex Microscopy

The proposed project is to combine digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT), which can be separated into two sub-tasks. The first one is introducing reconstruction holographic algorithm to iSCAT image analysis, realizing real-time particle 3D tracking. Tracking objects along the optical axis in iSCAT is commonly done by comparing the shape of […]

Texte, voix – flow – pour une poétique du rap français

Mon projet de thèse, au croisement des études littéraires et de la musicologie, problématise la subjectivation artistique dans le rap français. En prenant pour objet le « texte » de rap et sa réalisation vocale, je cherche à comprendre, à travers la notion poétique de flow, selon quels codes, quel procédés se manifeste un sujet […]

Microplastic Atmospheric Deposition Assessment using Moss in Europe (MADAME)

Under the MADAME pilot project, collaborators from more than 30 European countries have collected samples of moss to evaluate their use as a biomonitor for the atmospheric deposition of microplastics. Under the Globalink Research Award, Mehriban Jafarova (PhD Candidate, University of Siena) will visit Trent University to collaborate with Prof. Julian Aherne on the extraction […]

Leaf area index and wet biomass retrieval in agricultural fields from C-band SAR data using the Water Cloud Model

Maintaining and increasing agrarian production is a significant challenge for agricultural policy in the face of global population expansion. In this context, acquiring accurate and prompt regional estimates of crop yields and development is crucial in informing and formulating food policies and mitigating food insecurity to support farm managers and decision-makers. Also, it is challenging […]

Exploring the role of MRC2 in Multiple Sclerosis Pathology

This project investigates the role of Mrc2 in CNS (Central-nervous system) infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells using an EAE mouse model. Fresh and postmortem tissue will be provided by collaborators. Single cell suspensions from brain, spinal cord, spleen, and lymph nodes will undergo flow cytometry analysis, using different markers to identify distinct cell populations. Unsupervised […]
