The proposed project fosters collaboration between Sabanci University and the University of Waterloo, offering significant benefits to both institutions. Sabanci University will gain access to advanced imaging and gas analysis techniques available at Waterloo, enabling precise characterization and optimization of the CO2 capture system. This enhances the quality and impact of ongoing research at Sabanci. […]

This research project focuses on improving how we detect fraudulent activities, such as suspicious transactions, in large financial transaction networks like Mastercard’s. Fraudulent transactions are rare and difficult to catch because they often look similar to regular transactions, and there are limited accurate data to rely on. To tackle this, we are using Graph Neural […]

The goal of this project is to develop a class of smart materials known as “Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers” which undergo shape change and exhibit locomotion by an applied electric field. Ferroelectric molecules will be specifically used in the design and synthesis of these materials which are expected to increase the dielectric constant of the […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a challenge for many as the world’s population ages. Pain is a common problem for people with PD, and usual pain treatments often have side effects. Some PD patients find relief in singing, which also helps with voice difficulties related to PD. There’s evidence suggesting that group singing might even reduce […]

This project focuses on advancing sustainability in the HVAC industry by completing an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Delta M’s innovative recyclable air filters. These filters are designed to reduce waste, enhance energy efficiency, and lower operational and health-related costs compared to traditional cardboard filters. By conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and aligning with […]

This project focuses on creating advanced AI tools to help Aview International expand its platform for global content creators and corporate users. The project will develop a scalable system that can handle large volumes of video and audio editing, an API that allows corporations to integrate Aview’s services into their own platforms with customizable branding, […]

Well-functioning infrastructure, broadly defined as the basic physical structures and facilities needed for a society to function efficiently (like roads, bridges, and power plants), is integral to the economic and social wellbeing of a nation and its citizens. Unfortunately, in the post-2008 world of austerity and increased global banking regulation, governments and banks have been […]

In many parts of the Great Lakes, including southeastern Lake Huron, coastal bluffs are eroding. This poses a significant threat to homes, infrastructure, and the region’s tourism industry. To reduce damage to infrastructure, local conservation authorities create development setbacks to try to prevent new structures from being built in harms way. However, these setbacks are […]

Our project addresses challenges in VR striking sports games, where the lack of accurate physical feedback limits VR’s ability to promote physical activity. Building on an existing NAIST project, we propose to enhance their haptic device into a sport-universal tool that improves realism and immersion by replicating real-world sports interactions (e.g., striking a ball) across […]

One side effect of stroke is damage to the left parietal lobe, important in motor control of the right hand. Many stroke patients experience loss of motor skills and have difficulty relearning how to perform daily tasks. Recent reports from stroke rehabilitation centres have shown increased improvements in relearning basic motor skills upon incorporation of […]

Quantum advantages designate situations where processing qubits of information solves a task significantly more efficiently than processing classical bits of information in some basic abstract scenario. Our understanding of quantum advantages for distributed computing is limited. In particular, it is not well understood whether quantum information can deal with issues inherent to networks such as […]
