Connector theory for entropy inequalities

Quantum entropy inequalities fundamentally limit how information can be distributed in a quantum system. However, it is an open problem to list and show all the entropy inequalities for the quantum setting beyond 3-party systems, which has proven extremely challenging both numerically and analytically. As the number of qubits we can experimentally initiate and control […]

Automated fault detection in commercial refrigeration systems

A refrigerant leak is one of the major contributors of commercial refrigeration unexpected breakdowns. Conventional methods of leak detection using physical sensors are expensive, have limited capability of square footage coverage, and incapable of detecting slow and progressive refrigerant leaks. Accordingly, the development of a smart leak detection system without the need to include additional […]

Automatic Quantification of Neutrophil Accumulation within the Alveolar Space in Lung Histology Images using Artificial Intelligence

This project aims to create advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help scientists and doctors better understand and treat severe lung conditions, like acute lung injury (ALI). ALI is a serious condition that can lead to breathing problems and is often difficult to study because the current methods for analyzing lung tissue are time-consuming and […]

Civillian involvement in national security as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Project explores two key aspects of civilian involvement in national security: the evolution of Ukraine’s policies on civilian firearm ownership and the development of “Territorial Defence” institutions in Ukraine and similar “home guard” entities in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the Nordic/Baltic region. The goal is to understand how these elements contribute to […]

L’insécurité linguistique chez des enseignant.e.s de français langue seconde et étrangère: une étude comparative Brésil-Canada

Si la recherche est abondante à étudier l’insécurité linguistique chez les locuteurs ayant le français comme langue maternelle, moins nombreuses sont les études intéressées au phénomène chez les locuteurs de français langue seconde et étrangère (FLSE) et particulièrement chez les enseignants de FLSE. Pourtant, quelques études suggèrent que ceux-ci subissent de l’insécurité linguistique en raison […]

Machine Learning-Based Modeling of Spreading Dynamics in Complex Interfacial Systems

Understanding droplet interactions with surfaces is crucial for large-scale oil recovery, coating industries, and microfluidic devices. To address the remaining challenges, including the need for a universal timescale and improved theoretical and computational models, this project brings together the SoftSimu group at Western University and the Soft Materials Modelling (SMM) group at Aalto University, Finland. […]

Developing Smart Technologies for Aging in Place at Home

Transitioning patients from hospital to at-home care is vital for health care operations. However, there is a general concern that these at-risk populations would not be receiving the same level of care at home as they would in a dedicated medical facility. Elderly populations experience a significantly higher risk of readmission after discharge from acute […]

Development of Bio-material based Nanocomposite Thermoelectric Generator

Thermoelectric systems can produce electricity using temperature difference and heating/cooling effect using electricity. Thermoelectric systems are basically combination of p and n-type semiconductor materials. Thermoelectric systems have many advantages such as, environment friendly, no moving parts, silent in operation, and long service life. However, at this stage thermoelectric systems have very low efficiency so they […]

Synthesis and Application of Tritiated Activin Receptor Like Kinase 2 Radioligands for Molecular Investigations of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare childhood cancer that affects part of the brainstem. DIPG is typically diagnosed in children aged 5-10 years old and does not have any effective forms of treatment. Since there are no treatments, the average survival time for children who are diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. […]
