Development of magnesium-based alloys for biomedical applications

The goal of the project is to fabricate a novel magnesium-based alloy for orthopaedic purposes to function as a temporary fixation device (eg. Bone plates, screws or rods). Load-bearing bones (eg. Tibia, femur, humerus) require temporary support during fracture healing period to facilitate bone regeneration. Magnesium, due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability potentially eliminates the […]

Machine learning for satellite-based monitoring and condition assessment of critical infrastructure

This project aims to improve the monitoring and assessment of critical infrastructure using machine learning and satellite technology. By integrating machine learning techniques, we aim to improve the accuracy of detecting structural and geotechnical deterioration in public infrastructure, such as marine port wharves and airport runways. Led by experts from the NRC’s Construction Research Centre […]

Developing an automated tool for SAR parameter optimization

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites provide wide area global perspectives through images of the Earth’s surfaces and its governing processes. Capable of detecting small variations in surface roughness, and unconstrained by lighting and weather conditions, SAR is a robust remote sensing instrument. Designing and operating a SAR is a complex process, as there are numerous […]
