Stretchable Electronics for 6G Anomalous Reflectors

6G is the next generation of wireless network technologies. 6G signals are millimeter-waves, which are highly prone to blockage from obstacles such as trees or buildings. Due to this, behavior of the wireless environment is highly probabilistic and coverage holes can appear. This project aims to develop a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) which has the […]

Mathematical Modelling of Counteracting Gait Asymmetries in Human Locomotion

This proposed project aims to develop a control model that can counteract gait asymmetries in human walking. Gait asymmetries can arise in two different scenarios. It can be introduced from the environment, such as uneven terrain or strong winds, that would cause the body to need to adjust its motion to stay balanced. It can […]

Manual 3D reconstruction using multiple RGB-D cameras and thermal cameras

The proposed project aims to develop a method for three-dimensional reconstruction of manual work using multiple RGB-D cameras and a thermal camera. This innovative approach will enable the digital archiving of intangible cultural heritage, such as traditional craft techniques and dance performances, which are currently predominantly documented in 2D formats. By integrating rich information about […]

Simulation of viscoplastic fluid flows in superhydrophobic channels

The proposed project explores the flow dynamics of Bingham fluids through channels with superhydrophobic (SH) grooved walls. The focus is on understanding how these special surfaces, which trap air in grooves, affect the flow behavior of fluids that exhibit both solid-like and fluid-like properties under different stress levels. The research aims to develop a semi-analytical […]

Investigating the knowledge, attitudes, practices, and perceptions of the eco-bio-social drivers of dengue virus transmission among residents living in urban São Paulo city, Brazil

Dengue virus (DENV) is a virus that is spread by some mosquitoes in Latin America and the Caribbean. In recent years, DENV has spread rapidly, particularly in Brazil. The climate greatly influences the biology of the mosquito and the virus. On top of that, there are social factors that allow DENV to spread including living […]
