Modernization of Chinese Earth-Sheltered Dwellings

The proposed research project will be to visit survey and document post and modern cave dwellings, live in the villages, getting to know the local villagers and craftsmen, and engage in cross-cultural and interdisciplinary research. Through method of record, from measured drawings to statistical analysis, full scale details to test of structural performance or climate […]

Metalic organic frameworks for use in DAC

Research of metalic organic frameworks (MOFs) in direct air capture application. MOFs are a class of porous materials, often crystalline in nature, that are made of inorganic nodes bridged by organic linkers. MOFs are highly tunable porous materials, and the metal nodes can be metal ions, chains, or clusters. Given that MOFs can be constructed […]

Does Positive Feedback Spur Innovation? Insights into Firms’ Explorative Technology Development

Since prior research on performance feedback has primarily focused on the effects of underperformance, our understanding of the mechanisms through which positive performance feedback affects firm innovation is relatively limited. To address this gap, we will explore why, how, and when positive performance feedback spurs firm innovation and technological development. Drawing on previous studies on […]

Graph Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks for Anomaly Detection

The proposed project aims to develop a new method for finding unusual patterns in data represented as graphs, such as social networks, communication networks, or financial transactions. We proposed a novel method Graph Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks(G-KANs) to improve how we detect anomalies, which are important for identifying security threats or fraudulent activities. This project will help […]

An Analytical Model of Thickness and Flatness Estimation for Tailor Rolled Blanks

Rolling is an important process in metal forming. Through the rolling process, metal billets are turned into sheets or strips for use or further processing. Due to worsening global environmental conditions and higher demands for industrial products, lightweight design has become a trend in fields like automotive and aerospace. Traditional rolled metal sheets and strips […]

Cryptographic Verifiable Computing in Networked Control Systems

In Networked Control Systems (NCS), computation is outsourced to an external party, which we call a controller. This type of service has been gaining popularity in recent years. However, there is the threat of the controller wanting to read the commands passed onto it, thus violating confidentiality. To avoid this, we seek to incorporate cryptographic […]

Study of environmental impact of activity recognition systems

This research project aims to analyze and compare the environmental impact of various architectures used in activity recognition systems, with a focus optimizing the balance between (enough) quality of service (QoS) and sustainability. Specifically, the project will focus on the data life-cycle that flows through the three distinct architectural approaches—device-based, edge-based, and cloud-based— considering the […]

Enhancement of MDAO Framework for Evaluating Fuel-Cell Propulsion and Impact on Aircraft ECS

The proposed project focuses on improving the design and analysis of sustainable aviation technologies by enhancing a Multi-disciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) framework. This framework will be used to evaluate alternative propulsion systems, such as hydrogen fuel cells and hybrid-electric solutions, and assess their impact on aircraft subsystems, including environmental control and thermal management […]

Continuous, Directed Evolution of Human Opioid Receptors in Yeast

Cell-based biosensors are living cells that have been genetically engineered to detect and measure different chemicals of interest. Similar to the cells in our nose that allow us to smell isoamyl-alcohol (banana), or allyl thiol (garlic), biosensors use protein receptors and produce a measurable read-out such as fluorescence to determine the amount of target molecule […]
