Li-ion batteries are currently comprised of materials which are fairly energy intensive to mine and process which reduces their degree of sustainability. One promising approach to overcome this obstacle is to develop high capacity anode and cathode materials that use sodium which is significantly more abundant and less energy intensive to process from either sea […]

In the emerging sector of fintech, a novel concept known as a home equity investment is gaining traction, offering homeowners a way to access their property’s value without selling it. This financial instrument involves an investor providing a cash infusion to homeowners in exchange for a 20% ownership stake in their home. Homeowners then have […]

In this research project, we aim to address the uncertainties in the efficacy, safety, and dosing of prescription drugs, particularly for older adults who are more likely to take multiple medications. Pre-market drug trials often exclude the older population, leading to potential risks. Our proposed method involves utilizing machine learning and interactive visualization techniques to […]

Robotic vacuum cleaners (RVCs) have been leading the industry as domestic helpers for several years now, with continuous improvements in functionality and performance. Nowadays, consumers are showing more and more interest in purchasing RVCs. The market size has grown up to 350 billion dollars per year. However to date, most RVCs on the market are […]

This three-year research project aims to help C[3], an organization promoting artistic social practice, by addressing challenges and enhancing the potential of collaborations between artists and researchers. The intern will work with C[3] to create resources, tools, and services for these collaborations. In the second phase, they will study eight artist-researcher pairs to understand their […]

Deformed fiberglass bars used to reinforce concrete has the potential for better bond to concrete than other types. Currently, design guides and codes for concrete structures include design provisions for bond strength of spaced bars only. Also, these provisions are based on sand-coated bars, which are different from deformed bars. Finally, code equations are based […]

My project for the Elevate Fellowship aimed to develop the “Narreme Engine” application to assess the validity of “Narreme Theory” — a concept I devised during my PhD, positing that stories consist of atomic narrative units called Narremes, which combine into more complex “Compounds” to convey narratives over time. The Narreme Engine sought to apply […]

The project develops innovative delivery of beginning literacy lessons. While learning to read and write stories of their own choosing, early learners have many urgent questions. Many of these questions have answers that can be easily explained using a multimedia demonstration. Children can access the answers independently, on demand, when the answers are in a […]

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is proven beneficial for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Currently, most healthcare systems in China provides limited CR program toward patients after the cardiac intervention. This is particularly true among the rural areas. Home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) is used to alternative center (hospital) based in many developed countries. In this proposed research, a […]
