Enhancing Air Traffic Control Communication: Integrating AI and Visual Aids to Improve Pilot Performance and Safety

This project aims to improve communication between pilots and air traffic control (ATC) by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and visual aids with traditional voice communication. By using AI to generate real-time visual cues (like text and icons), we hope to reduce misunderstandings and improve situational awareness for pilots. This will help make flying safer and […]

Efficient Parsing Technique for Console Logs

Software systems produce large amount of logs of different types. Event logs and system traces have been the focus of many research for their information content and often machine friendly format; but another type of logs often overlooked are console logs. Parsing console logs presents two main challenges: their formatting is inconsistent and they contains […]

Association Mapping of Phytochemical Composition and Antioxidant Properties in Whole Grain Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Phytochemicals including vitamins, carotenoids and phenolic compounds have been widely accepted as the functional substances that make cereal grain health beneficial. Increasing evidence has shown the relation between these antioxidant phytochemicals and reduced risks of oxidative-stress related chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. Among these cereal grains, rice is of critical […]

Fault zone reactivation and structural inheritance in accretionary orogens

The strength and behaviour of the Earth’s crust is largely controlled by the presence and nature of plate boundaries—the boundaries that separate Earth’s jigsaw puzzle of tectonic plates. When movement occurs between two rigid crustal blocks, the resulting deformed zone that forms along the boundary is referred to as a deformation zone. Recent research has […]

Imitation learning based control for quadrupedal robots

This project aims to make quadruped robots smarter and more versatile by adding a 360-degree camera and a robot arm into a reinforcement learning control system. The quadruped robots will undergo training with these upgrades in a simulation environment before being deployed in real-world scenarios. These upgrades will help the robots better understand their surroundings […]
