Ultra-reliable and low latency communication is increasingly an important aspect of future wireless communications. Specifically, in the context of mission critical communications for large-scale networks of sensors and actuators in automated and/or remote-control applications, low-latency wireless communication with high level of determinism is a vital element. The key performance indicators for such use case are […]

Heart’s electrical activities are traditionally collected by employing multiple electrodes that are connected the patient’s body and collected and recorded on an electrocardiogram. The objective of this project is to enhance the patient’s comfort and allow for a continues ECG monitoring with improved flexibility while minimizing the sacrifices of detected and accumulated data. In this […]

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is a reactive molecule which shows surprising reactivity toward various small molecules – such as bond activation of inert compounds. Although NHCs have shown their great reactivity, there still remains a lot of interesting molecules yet to be activated by NHCs. The objective of this project is to elevate the reactivity of […]

Recently, speleothems from various Korean limestone caves have received special attention as an invaluable paleoclimatic archive for both regional and global aspects. Although recent investigations show distinctive relationships between their stable isotope compositions and surface environmental conditions, the quantitative understanding on the relationship is needed for more accurate and precise reconstructions of past climatic factors […]

For my MA thesis, I am studying the social implications of forest landscape restoration in India. India’s compensatory afforestation policy requires mining and infrastructure projects to offset deforestation by planting ‘compensatory’ trees. The scale of this initiative is huge: over $7 billion USD of offset payments have accumulated with the Compensatory Afforestation Management and Planning […]

The bestiary, derived from the Latin bestiarium, was a medieval genre comprised of animal catalogues, each providing descriptions, anecdotes, and illustrations of real and imaginary beasts. Often plotless, targeting women and children, decorated with lavish imagery, and laden with Catholic allegory, medieval bestiaries exploited animals’ appeal and rhetorical plasticity to educate and enforce conformity in […]

Homes for Mental Health, Inc. This initiative has three main goals: to assist mental health consumers in the recovery process by providing access to physical health activities, to raise awareness in the community at large about mental health issues, and to provide a unique walking race experience for athletes and amateurs alike. The study will […]

Globally cities are expanding and this has a negative impact on natural systems. Green infrastructure (GI), such as green roofs, retention ponds, or urban tree canopies, is used to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather and provide resources for people in the city. However, GI can also provide a benefit for native species and wildlife […]

Anaerobic digestion of waste for biological methane and hydrogen production can be a sustainable source of renewable energy as well as an efficient waste management technique. Significant research efforts on digester design, process enhancement, and odors control are vital. In 2009, US Peroxide (a wholly owned subsidiary of Trojan Technologies) developed the peroxide regenerated iron […]

Cette recherche vise à analyser les impacts de l’implantation du projet de conservation Red River Innovation Center sur les modes de vie de la communauté locale, qui appartient majoritairement à la minorité ethnique Hani. Situé dans la province du Yunnan, dans le sud-ouest de la Chine, le projet de conservation vise à la fois le […]

Dysfunctions of the placenta leads to a serious pregnancy associated disease of the mother called preeclampsia (PE) and certain forms of fetal growth restriction (FGR) that are hard to treat or prevent. Our laboratory has shown that overproduction of decorin, a molecule made by the pregnant uterus, leads to placental defects resulting in PE and […]

Manual contract analysis and management is a laborious task. dTrax is Deloitte’s managed solution to this problem—it uses machine learning to automate the arduous contract management process and help users gain further insight from contracts. Specifically, dTrax will be used to standardize the intake of legal contracts, generate and edit contracts within a web interface, […]
