Portable Wireless Interface for Implantable Medical Devices

The recording of brain activity through neural Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) has a wide range of applications, such as studying brain patterns for seizure detection or brain stimulation to alleviate motor disorders. Some IMDs communicate with an external interface platform, which offloads the recorded data from, programs, and supplies power to the IMD. However, existing […]

Developing a novel pharmacoviral approach combining immunemodulatory antibody-drug conjugates with oncolytic viruses for enhanced immunotherapeutic efficacy

Vector potentiator (VEPOs) are compounds that can enhance the ability of cancer-killing viruses to replicate and kill cancer cells. However, administering these compounds can be problematic as they are inherently toxic. To remedy this problem, we will link these compounds to a highly specific antibody, Trastuzumab, forming a new antibody-drug conjugate compound, T-VEPO. By means […]

Geometry Projection Based 3D Object Detection

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been deployed in many real-world applications such as payload delivery, agricultural laboring, and aerial photography. Based on GPS-based localization algorithms, these drones have achieved many advancements in industry automation. However, since common GPS receivers do not work indoors, an accurate computer vision (CV) technique is required to resolve the problem […]
