In this project, we would model the underwater acoustic behavior. Using the model, we will calculate the distance to the source of the sound with high accuracy despite the underwater environmental conditions. The second part of our project is to classify the source producing the sound. Our algorithm will be able to detect and distinguish […]

The project will involve running terrestrial biosphere models on JPL’s supercomupters. Specifically, my first task will be focused on modeling the carbon cycle. This cycle describes how carbon circulates through the atmosphere, vegetation and ground. With climate change and rising temperatures, this cycle has been changing. This is why we are interested in modeling it […]

Arctic temperatures are increasing twice as fast than the global average. In fjordic ecosystems of Svalbard, the Atlantification, the process leading to warmer conditions in the area impose new challenges to Arctic living community. Those changes alter cryosphere regime (i.e., ice component covering the surface) and associated species habitats. The black-legged kittiwake is a predator […]

The use of unconventional heavy oil, such as the bitumen derived from oil sands, has progressively increased, placing these materials as a compelling alternative to meet short- and long-term energy demands. Nevertheless, the current technologies available to exploit and upgrade this crude have critical challenges, such as high production costs, lower energy efficiency, and, even […]

Population growth and economic development exert significant threats on ecological and environmental systems of rural areas in China. Integrated socio-economic and eco-environmental management is desired for addressing these threats, but is challenged by the conflict of multiple developmental objectives and the intervalness of uncertain system characteristics. Therefore, this project aims to provide scientific support for […]

Volcanic eruptions commonly involve several magma batches with distinct compositions that meet and mix during or shortly prior to eruption. In some cases, this mixing process can prime or trigger eruptions, as ascending hot and gas-rich magmas can remobilise and mix with cooler magmas stalled at shallower depths and destabilise the magmatic system. We have […]

My research focus is shorebird ecology and conservation. Shorebird populations are declining globally, likely as a result of environmental changes and the expansion of human development. These birds are particularly vulnerable to habitat loss or degradation at their coastal wintering sites where they refuel from migration and prepare for their next breeding season. I will […]

I designed my master project for performing paleo-seismological research in the eastern Bhutan, where no instrumental or historic earthquake is known and where a historic surface rupture along the Himalayan front was recently identified. Based on the ages of the known large historic earthquakes in the eastern Himalaya, the newly identified surface rupture could have […]

Sustainability as one of the key elements of Smart cities, can be realized by employing Real Time Control Strategies for city’s infrastructures. Nowadays Stormwater management systems play an important role in mitigating the impacts of urbanization on natural hydrological cycle. Besides, these systems have a huge potential to be managed in such a way that […]

The goal of this project is to further develop the JGI technology CRAGE, which enables the insertion of large DNA fragments into the chromosome of a host organism. Over the course of the 3 months, the CRAGE system will be adapted for the E. coli EPI300 strain that is host to the Hallam Lab functional […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à identifier et documenter les meilleurs pratiques de gestion et d’exploitation de la ressource forestière par le biais d’une approche de benchmarking (approche de performance comparé) afin d’améliorer la compétitivité de certains Unités d’aménagement (UA) forestières et de contribuer à assurer la pérennité de l’industrie forestière. Le projet vise à […]

Participating to the Mitacs Globalink program will give me the chance to carry on research at TUM, joing the research group at the Lehrstuhl fur Technische Chemie II. I will work under the supervision of Prof. Johannes Lercher and I will learn how to combine advanced physicochemical methods to characterize the methane reaction on surfaces […]
