Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) continue to be one of the most common lost-time injuries in Canada and South Korea, comprising over a third of all work-related lost-time injuries. Given the continued prevalence of WMSDs despite efforts to decrease their occurrence, a new approach to WMSDs intervention is required. This research project is to validate the […]

Having robots be able to conduct visual searching of objects in their environment is an important step towards building intelligent robotic assistants. Automatic object searching is a useful tool for social, service, and search and rescue robots; such robots would be required to reason about likely locations of an object specified by a user. However, […]

Although Electronic waste (E-waste) is steadily increasing due to the use of electronic devices worldwide, it is not being properly disposed of. The incineration or landfill disposal of e-waste causes serious environmental problems and affects human health. Eco-friendly organic electronic materials (OEMs) are attracting attention as a sustainable alternatives for conventional electronic materials. Particularly, the […]

Many overnight workers rely on public transit for commuting to work at night and from work in the morning. However, it is challenging to understand overnight workers’ travel patterns between origins and destinations due to their reverse travel directions compared to traditional daytime workers. This research proposes a methodology to identify the overnight workers’ travel […]

Infrastructures including buildings and bridges show dynamic behaviors due to earthquakes, wind loads, and etc. The excessive dynamic response sometimes leads to structural failure. Therefore, accurate prediction method of the dynamic response for the structures is required to secure the safety the structures. A neural network augmented physics (NNAP) model which is based on deep […]

The mitigation and utilization of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), are current global challenges. To date, there have been many attempts to reduce CO2 and CH4 with dry methane reforming methane (DMR), an eco-friendly technology that utilize CH4 and CO2 into syngas (H2 and CO). The main issue that needs […]

The main goal of this study is to develop a catalyst capable of producing hydrogen through urea oxidation. By synthesizing and modifying various metal nanoparticles, a layered double hydroxide structure will be synthesized, and electrochemical measurements will be made. Through this study, laboratories of both countries will find a new way to cooperate to produce […]

The objective of this project is to construct optimal data structures for the range closest pair (RCP) problem. The RCP problem aims to construct a data structure such that whenever a specific query range is given, the closest point-pair among those inside the given range can be reported efficiently. The RCP problem has been studied […]

THz waves are receiving great attention in, for example, medical imaging as well as 6G communication. Basic research using THz waves for such applications is being actively conducted. However, since the commercially available THz components are still bulky and difficult to use, the need for a compact THz system has been growing. In this context, […]

Climate change is closely tied with human behaviors and health. With continuous industrialization and technological advances, modern people are living unimaginable prosperous lives. However, their increased greed leads to enormous environmental destruction, such as the indiscriminate consumption of air conditioners and disposable products, and short-distance driving. Air pollution has a bilateral relationship with climate change, […]

The main goal of the proposed project is to implement a high-sensitivity biosensor by using nanomaterials. We aim to address the current issues in biosensor technology and lead the innovative role of the international community through exchanges and cooperation between Canadian and Korean researchers. In order to achieve goals, high-quality semiconductor thin-film deposition technology over […]

Notre projet de recherche essaie d’étudier les moyens dont l’Union européenne pourrait employer pour renforcer son influence en Indo-Pacifique. Compte tenu des défis auxquels l’UE fait face aujourd’hui : les crises successives depuis 2008, les limites budégtaires et institutionnelles, la sensibilité des sujets politiques et sécuritaires — l’Union européenne n’a pas autant de leviers que […]
