High purity structural metal such as steel requires a cleaning process during its production. Conventional cleaning process called refining using molten oxide has been arrived at its limit. Development of a breakthrough technology is required. Beyond utilization of conventional materials engineering, application of electrochemical refining is attempted in this project. The applicant has already carried […]

Health and safety are key concerns during the current public health crisis to individuals who rely on public transit. To lessen the risk of those individuals, the research aims to develop an information-based control strategy using real-time travel information as a meaningful non-pharmaceutical intervention strategy in the public transportation sector. To achieve this goal, the […]

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental pollutants that occur in various chemical forms across the terrestrial and marine environments and have long been of the subject of intense research worldwide due to their highly toxic properties. PAHs are uptaken by bio-organisms and activated to electrophilic metabolites to exert their toxic effects. Meanwhile, different toxicity of […]

The availability of inexspensive electricity in a constant and reliable fashion is critical to economic development and efficient resource consumption. To this end, accurate short term load forecasting (STLF) on an electrical grid enable the minimization of dispatch and running costs on the scale of seconds to a week. Models and approaches employed in STLF […]

The intensity and frequency of earthquakes in Korea have increased in the past few years. Thus, the need for seismic retrofit of many middle- or low-rise buildings has increased which were designed without seismic design provisions. Nonlinear time history analyses need to be performed for accurate seismic performance evaluation and for appropriate retrofit of structures. […]

I am working on reinforcement learning for finance based on deep mathematical knowledge and the host supervisor is working on financial engineering, reinforcement learning and Markov decision process. We will study deep reinforcement learning for stock market trading and for portfolio management. The goal is to find a practical deep reinforcement agent to manage stock […]

Notre projet de recherche porte sur une comparée et instructive de l’intégration régionale en Europe, en Afrique et en Amérique. Il s’agira en pratique de tirer partie des expériences heureuses et malheureuses de l’intégration en Europe, avec l’Union européenne, qui est l’expérience la plus aboutie et l’intégration en Amérique du nord avec l’ALENA, qui présente […]

I will apply the cycle method on story visualization. And I will apply the technique about learning unpaired data, unsupervised learning to improve general performance.

Avec l’augmentation du nombre de personnes sur Terre et du vieillissement dans le monde, les maladies oculaires deviennent des enjeux économiques et sociétaux. De nombreuses recherches sont en cours pour développer des vecteurs de médicament mucoadhésifs pour ces maladies afin d’améliorer l’administration des médicaments dans les gouttes ophtalmiques. Cependant, chaque individu possède une composition en […]

The continuous world innovation in the manifacturing techniques led to the development of highly precise technologies such as 3D printing. This technique has been then further improved in such a way to print biomaterials and cells, with extreme precision. It constitute a significant innovation for tissue engineering research. Collagen, the most abundant protein of the […]

Ascophyllum is a perennial brown seaweed that is an important economic resource in eastern Canada in which hundreds of people are employed in the harvesting, processing and marketing of this alga. Growth of the vegetative parts of plants occurs mainly in the summer and fall, whereas growth and maturation of reproductive structures (i.e. receptacles) occurs […]

The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) model allows for representation of the Nexus interactions between different sectors. Applied in Sustainable Development contexts, the CLEWs model enhances policy coherence and supports effective decision making. Over the last few years partners at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and Loughborough University (United Kingdom) have […]
