This research project will advance the development of a possible treatment for Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of childhood epilepsy caused by a genetic mutation. In Dravet syndrome, an important protein responsible for sending signals along the nerve fibers of the brain does not function, which results in overactivity and triggers debilitating and recurring seizures. […]

The research project aims to examine the attitudes of Ukrainians towards Russians, particularly about the concept of ‘good Russians’ during the ongoing full-scale war. The study will include the exploration of the socio-historical background of Russian-Ukrainian relations, as well as the analysis of the changes in attitudes before and after the Russian aggression in 2014. […]

Although brain resilience has long been thought to be important, only recently have methods been developed to measure it directly. In the proposed research, we will use one such method–known as the cortical challenge and recovery test (CCaRT)–to see if we can identify signs of concussion at the level of brain resilience. We will have […]

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of error propagation in the PIV-pressure analysis and suggests two approaches: I) a formal analysis and II) corresponding algorithms for optimal sensor placement that minimize the error propagation from the measured data to the computed pressure field. By analyzing the Poisson problem together with boundary conditions, the optimal […]

The project “Detecting Phishing Websites using Machine Learning Techniques” aims to develop a method that can accurately identify and block malicious websites. Machine Learning algorithms will be used to analyze various website features, such as URL, page content, rank and other indicators to determine if it is a phishing site or not. By identifying and […]

Many fluid flows are dominated by the dynamics of vortex formation and convection. Examples of practical importance include flows over aircraft wings/wind turbine blades and environmental flows. Knowledge of vortex parameters such as position, radius, circulation, and convective velocity are needed to understand and predict the influence of vortices on flow development. Although a vortex […]

This project aims to evaluate the effect of mowing on the insect community living in meadow plant stems. Mowing is a necessary practice in meadow restoration in cities due to the need to control invasive plant species. However, past studies have shown that mowing can also contribute to increased mortality rates in a wide variety […]

The use of virtual reality (VR) and realistic real-time graphics has become a critical component in various industries, including aviation. However, the benefits and necessity of full-motion simulators in training remain unclear, especially when considering the fundamental differences between tasks such as flying and driving. This research aims to address the knowledge gap in understanding […]

Membranes that are used in wastewater treatment have been found to clog more rapidly at cold temperatures. This study will examine alternative operating strategies that will reduce clogging and thereby reduce the needs for extra energy and chemical consumption under these operating conditions.

The intern will be working on a research project aimed improving scalability and applicability of automated reasoning tool called SPACER by improving the way it deals with special data types. Overall, the goal of this project is to make SPACER a more effective and reliable tool for verifying program correctness.

Open-ended problem solving plays an important role in industrial innovation, product development, strategy formulation, and many other applications. The study will use experimental methods to investigate the behaviour of individuals while solving open-ended problems, and will entail the gathering and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data. Individual problem-solving tasks will be given to participants […]

The project is dedicated to the explore how the effective interface for a small modular nuclear reactor should look considering human factors and current digital technology design trends. The research will review the significance and application of modern human-computer interaction techniques to ensure a better user experience and to achieve substantial safety and operational benefits […]
