Global mass coral bleaching events caused by marine heatwaves are becoming ever more frequent under climate change. Without action, the socio-ecological services provided by coral reefs may be lost. Active management interventions may be required to support the resilience of future coral reefs. The CORALASSIST Lab (UK) is testing assisted evolution in Palau: selective breeding […]

In the field of childhood disability research, there is an important shift towards engaging with patients and families who have the lived experience of a disability. To build authentic relationships with family partners, there should be clear communication throughout all study phases. To our knowledge, the Involvement Matrix is to the only tool to guide […]

Iron and Steel are the backbone of major industrial sectors, like automobile, building and construction, heavy machine manufacturing etc. and Blast Furnace (BF) Ironmaking is the chief production route of iron throughout the world. The objective of this project is to develop novel models for blast furnaces to enhance their productivity in a sustainable way […]

Mountainous environments present a variety of risks to human populations in the surrounding communities. Landslides in mountainous regions are a particularly deadly form of natural hazard due to their unpredictability and potential scale, resulting in thousands of deaths every year. Due to current climate warming as a result of human actions, the risk of these […]

Mes recherches de maîtrise se concentrent sur les migrations internes à l’Asie orientale dans l’entre-deux-guerres et plus particulièrement dans le contexte des grands empires coloniaux de la région. À partir d’une étude comparative, il serait question d’analyser les flux migratoires de l’Inde vers le Viêt Nam (Indochine française) et la Birmanie. En analysant le parcours […]

Antibiotics are applied to agricultural plants and soils as plant protection products (PPPs) to combat bacterial disease. Their use in agriculture has the potential to cause development and spread of antibiotic resistance genes. Non antibiotic PPPs such as herbicides and insecticides are also applied to agricultural soils. There has been limited research into whether non […]

Although the electric guitar has widely been valued as a vehicle for musical expression, many of the efforts that have been carried out to bring the instrument up to date with the era of digital music fail to capture that richness. Attempts at creating interfaces based on the guitar using either sensors or analysis of […]

The proposed research project will examine the applicability of William Caplin’s theories of formal functions to the music of the 19th-century Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz. Caplinian formal-function theory considers the “syntactical” roles played by various parts/sections of particular musical work in relation to the whole, and the capacity of different compositional techniques to express musical […]

Improving air quality while supporting clean growth and future transportation technology represents a significant societal challenge for Canada and the UK. Emissions of unburnt hydrocarbon (uHC) fuel directly affects public health, and their reduction from vehicles such as hybrid cars require new solutions. Recent research conducted by Professor Cyril Crua’s team at the University of […]

People with chronic lung diseases must breathe with more force and with more breaths because their diseased lungs do not exchange oxygen as well. This occurs in interstitial lung disease, when the lungs are stiffer and in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, when the airways are obstructed due to phlegm and swelling. The breathing muscles in […]

The core of the research is multi-technology devices that stimulate and record neurons, integrated photonic devices for micro-displays, and photonics-enabled computing hardware. The novel foundational technologies underpinning the research are foundry-manufactured integrated photonics platforms on silicon for the visible spectrum and advanced 3D printing of biological and other organic materials. Macro-scale systems (mechanical and electronic) […]

Brain-inspired computers are a developing technology that use biological foundations to inform computational processes. The study of complex brain circuitry is crucial for creating such technologies. However, progress is limited as neural circuits are difficult to study in vivo. Under the directorship of Joyce Poon, the Nanophotonics, Integration and Neural Technology department of the Max […]
