Deep learning-based steel corrosion and fatigue crack detection using a depth camera

In order to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional approaches to steel structure damage detection and to improve reliability and safety of existing steel structures, this research proposes to develop an innovative autonomous SHM system that offers transformative enhancements over existing steel structure monitoring systems. This will involve: 1. Collecting Collecting image data from various […]

Developpement de capteurs flexibles à base de polymère piezoelectrique

Le projet a pour objectif principal le développement de nanocapteurs piézoélectriques flexibles peu coûteux à base du polymère polyfluorure de vinylidène (PVDF) fabriqués par électrofilage. Ce polymère piézoélectrique, qui transforme une déformation mécanique en champ électrique, est un matériau chimiquement inerte qui peut être utilisé pour de nombreuses applications, Il a été montré dans la […]

Utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle pour détecter les intentions de mouvements chez un amputé.

Afin de remédier à la perte d’autonomie chez un amputé, l’utilisation d’une prothèse active, c’est-à-dire qui effectue des mouvements, est recommandée. Toutefois, leur contrôle peu naturel explique pourquoi les amputés adhèrent difficilement à cette solution. Or, un contrôle beaucoup plus intuitif pourrait être effectué en détectant en premier lieu le mouvement souhaité par l’amputé puis […]

Queer Community Building Strategies

Professor Hannes Brunner at Wiessensee Academy of Art Berlin is experienced with making work that encourages public and social engagement and environmental designs. I am hoping to learn from his expertise of making work that involves these themes. Berlin is known internationally for its thriving arts and queer communities. Conducting research in Berlin will give […]

Paleoclimatic records based on stable isotope analyses of speleothems

Recently, speleothems from various Korean limestone caves have received special attention as an invaluable paleoclimatic archive for both regional and global aspects. Although recent investigations show distinctive relationships between their stable isotope compositions and surface environmental conditions, the quantitative understanding on the relationship is needed for more accurate and precise reconstructions of past climatic factors […]

Study of multiphase flow in a bearing cavity of an aeroengine

Aeroengines operate at very high speed and high temperatures. Therefore, the transmission system of an aeroengine becomes a critical design process because of its proximity to the combustion chamber. As a result, engineers must understand very well the fluid mechanics phenomena involved in the lubrication and cooling of the transmission components such as the bearing […]

Green collateral damage: Social impacts of offsetting deforestation in India

For my MA thesis, I am studying the social implications of forest landscape restoration in India. India’s compensatory afforestation policy requires mining and infrastructure projects to offset deforestation by planting ‘compensatory’ trees. The scale of this initiative is huge: over $7 billion USD of offset payments have accumulated with the Compensatory Afforestation Management and Planning […]

From the Griffin to the Axolotl: The Resurgence and Reimagining of the Medieval Bestiary in Contemporary Hispanic Literature

The bestiary, derived from the Latin bestiarium, was a medieval genre comprised of animal catalogues, each providing descriptions, anecdotes, and illustrations of real and imaginary beasts. Often plotless, targeting women and children, decorated with lavish imagery, and laden with Catholic allegory, medieval bestiaries exploited animals’ appeal and rhetorical plasticity to educate and enforce conformity in […]

Recolouring Locally Injective Homomorphisms and k-Frugal Colourings

I am working on graph Recolouring in reflexive digraphs and the host supervisor is working on Locally Injective Homomorphisms and k-Frugal Coloring. I and the host supervisor will work on graph graph Recolouring in Locally Injective Homomorphisms and k-Frugal colourings so our objectives is calculating complexity of graph recolouring in Locally Injective Homomorphisms and k-Frugal […]
