Plastics Packaging Materials with Antifungal/microbial Properties

Plastic packaging materials are needed in many food products to prevent spoilage and to extend shelf-life. This project focuses on developing plastic packaging materials that will not permit bacteria and fungi to grow on the surface of the plastic in contact with the food , bread in this particular case. Besides the obvious performance requirement […]

Microelectromechanical Low-power Strain Sensor for structural health monitoring applications – Phase 2

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of airplanes requires very compact and low-power stain sensors. Therefore, IPR wants to investigate how a commercial micro-fabrication process can be used to implement its MEMS sensor design, particularly using the electro-conductive properties of doped silicon vs. metal-coated crystalline silicon or polysilicon. The project will consist of a conceptual study of […]

Data synthesis using generative adversarial network

This project is about synthesizing data using generative adversarial network (GAN). Unlike conventional studies which use anonymization techniques for removing private information of individuals, we use variants of GAN architectures for crafting new records contextually similar to real records in the legitimate dataset. We plan to run exploratory experiments on public datasets to provide enough […]
