Development of room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator

This MITACS project between the University of Waterloo (UW, host supervisor: Prof. Na Young Kim) and Yonsei University (YU, home supervisors: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo and Prof. Chae-Yeun Park) aims to develop a room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator. The room-temperature system can contribute to solving a complex many-body problem, since it does not require cryogenic cooling that […]

Testing gravity using data from the Euclid satellite mission

One of the biggest mysteries in modern physics is “dark energy”. This strange form of energy makes up over half of our Universe and is causing space to expand faster and faster. Even 30 years after its Nobel Prize-winning discovery, we still have no clear idea what dark energy actually is. Scientists have come up […]

Assessing Social Cognition in Autistic Youths and Adults

The goal of the project is to develop a series of standardized, performance-based computerized assessment tools for use in the examination of social cognition deficits in ASD. Drawing on the available experimental literature a number of potential assessment tasks will be identified, reviewed and configured for computer-based administration to children / youth with ASD. Programming […]

UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANISMS OF VIBRATION PERCEPTION BY PLANTS

Plants are not passive bystanders, they sense their surroundings and react to threats through chemical and vibrational cues. A key example of this is when a plant detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by neighboring plants that have been damaged by herbivores. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), a subset of VOCs released in the atmosphere, are […]

L2M – MeasleScan Field Effect Transistor

MeasleScan FET is a portable biosensor that uses field-effect transistor (FET) technology to detect measles virus rapidly at the point of care. Unlike current tests such as PCR and ELISA, which are accurate but slow, costly, and lab-dependent, this device delivers real-time, label-free detection directly from clinical samples. The goal is to provide a low-cost, […]

L2M – Silver Vantage Software – Fall Detection

This project will validate the market and technical feasibility of Silver Vantage Software’s privacy-preserving thermal fall-detection system for senior care. The system uses small thermal sensors to detect falls automatically without recording identifiable images, protecting resident privacy while improving response times. Through this project, we will engage healthcare partners and facility operators to confirm product […]

The Paternity Crisis and the Other Side of Turkish Modernity

My research project presents a unique perspective on the Turkish experience of modernity from the side of the discredited, disavowed and repressed, and thus contributes to a better understanding (and to a better identification of the failures) of the modernization in Turkey that predominated much of the twentieth century. It does this through an exploration […]

L2M – NexusNeuro Portable EEG Validation

Diagnosing neurological conditions like epilepsy is often difficult because clinicians rely on brief, in-clinic brain activity recordings, which may miss crucial events. To solve this, our company, NexusNeuro, is developing a “Neurological Holter Monitor” — a discreet, wearable EEG device that allows for continuous, long-term brain monitoring in a patient’s everyday environment. While we have […]
