Imaging Biomarkers for Nanotherapeutics – Year two

Poor drug accumulation at tumor sites negatively affects the efficacy of many anti-cancer therapeutics. Development of non-invasive strategies that can effectively monitor drug biodistribution is important, especially given the increasing number and complexity of nanotherapeutic agents in clinical development. The use of positron emission tomography in conjunction with a radiolabeled drug delivery system has the […]

Real-Time Machine Learning Integration with MES for Waste Reduction, Quality Control, and Production Optimization in Flexible Packaging at Transcontinental

This project focuses on the real-time integration of machine learning (ML) models with the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) at Transcontinental (TC) to enhance quality control, reduce production waste, and optimize operations in flexible packaging manufacturing. TC’s current MES infrastructure ensures traceability and workflow coordination but lacks predictive analytics capabilities, leading to a reactive approach where […]

ML-Enhanced SOAR Framework for Proactive Threat Response in Managed Security Operations

Security Operations Centers today grapple with overwhelming alert volumes, fragmented toolchains, and manual response processes that impede timely threat containment. Analysts must pivot between multiple SIEM and EDR consoles, manually enrich indicators, and open tickets one by one, introducing delays that adversaries exploit to dwell undetected. Moreover, static severity tags lack the nuance to prioritize […]

A wireless headset for power-aware EEG/non-EEG signals processing and seizure warning – Year two

Epilepsy is a debilitating neurological disorder affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide (World Health Organization). This project proposes to develop a SMART (Seizure Monitoring At the Right Time) Headset for these patients to monitor their brain signal and track their movements, heart rates and breathing patterns. This headset will have new types of sensors suitable […]

Acoustic Feature Extraction and Sparse Representation of Neck Fluid Volume (NFV) in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in 10% of adults and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, there is a 3-fold increase in OSA prevalence in fluid retaining patients such as those with heart failure. Evolving evidence suggests that fluid accumulation in the neck could narrow the upper airway (UA), increase its […]

Quantum LiDAR Raytracing

Developing quantum-enhanced LiDAR requires a deep understanding of the water medium’s optical properties, which vary with environmental factors. To address this, an oceanic model was created to estimate system performance based on water’s scattering and absorption traits, though it currently simplifies these as identical. In the proposed project, this will be refined. System analysis is […]
