Distributed computing is a model in which components of a software system are shared among multiple computers to improve efficiency and performance. The growing interest in cloud computing scenarios that incorporate both distributed computing capabilities and heterogeneous hardware presents a significant opportunity for network operators. The aim of this Research is to develop a purpose-built […]

After severe skin injury such as burns, our body rapidly but imperfectly repairs the damage, leaving behind a stiff scar. Scarring is a clinical burden because skin is losing vital functions. If scars form in internal organs, e.g., in the heart after myocardial infarct, the outcome can be lethal. During normal tissue repair, local fibroblasts […]

Motion capture technology that uses markers attached to the body and specialized cameras has been used for research on human motion, but has been limited to laboratories with expert users. New markerless motion capture technology removes these limitations by using standard video cameras and advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, allowing us to measure motion in real-life […]

My research seeks to identify species that are valuable socially and ecologically to fishers in Chilika (a coastal fishing community in India). To achieve this, I will interview fishers from three ecologically diverse communities to ask what fish are important for (but not limited to) nutrition, livelihoods, culture, biological communities. I will observe how this […]

Fuel channel inspection is critical to safe operation of CANDU reactors. However, the existing techniques used to inspect fuel channels are slow. Fuel channel inspection represents a major bottleneck during maintenance shutdowns of CANDU reactors. To reduce inspection time, it is proposed to develop a robotic inspection system. Multiple copies of this inspection system can […]

Pastoral communities in North-Western Kenya and Eastern Uganda has for the last decades gone through a vicious cycle of bloody conflict. The conflicts are centred mainly around resource use but manifests in cattle theft/raids leaving fatal casualties, mass displacements and abject poverty in its wake. While these conflicts are majorly driven by an array of […]

Enterprise Data Engine Development

Light detectors are a mature technology that we encounter on a day-to-day basis without even realizing it, such as in cameras for high resolution imaging and in satellites and dishes for communication. The ability to detect light at the fundamental limit (i.e., single photons) is critical for numerous applications in modern medicine, imaging and quantum […]

The main objective of the project is to explore the technological trends and automation in Courier, Express and Parcel (CEP) industry with key focus on autonomous technologies that can leverage CEP operations. Then the technology readiness as well as the user readiness for autonomous technologies will be investigated followed by an evaluation of the community […]

In our contemporary world, digital systems are playing critical roles in every aspect of life. To maintain our digitalized environments safe, secure, efficient, and cost-effective, cyber risk assessment frameworks have been developed to assess the trustworthiness and effectiveness degree of an IT-based environment. However, these frameworks demand in-depth insights, expertise, and efforts to complete them […]

According to the existing airworthiness standards, aircraft turbofan engine certification must demonstrate its ability to contain a fan blade should the blade accidentally separate under critical operating conditions. P&WC has established a full engine computational analysis process. In the continuing evolution of this modelling process, several areas requiring improvement have been identified as critical. One […]

High performance bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using a hand-layup process. Due to the manual nature of this manufacture method, defects such as voids, fiber misalignment, or resin rich/resin poor regions can occur. Micro-computed tomography is an X-ray based measurement method that is […]
