This project aims to develop, evaluate, and apply advanced solutions and techniques for assisting industrial plant operators in decision-making during abnormal situations, thereby improving plant safety and reliability. Currently, plant operators receive too many alarms, making it difficult to respond effectively. In industrial facilities, developing strategies for sustainable Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) performance and […]

Combination therapy has been one of the cornerstones for combating cancers. Even though the survival rate of cancer patients after receiving combination therapy is improved dramatically, there are still many unsolved issues to prevent us from claiming combination therapy is a cure for cancers. Those issues include it does not apply to all types of […]

Quantum computers promise significant advantages in solving complex problems currently intractable for classical computers by leveraging principles of quantum physics such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling to perform operations on data. One well-known approach to quantum computation is quantum annealing, pioneered by D-Wave Systems Inc., which develops quantum annealing processors to tackle optimization and sampling […]

Buildings globally play a substantial role in energy consumption, representing more than 30% of the total energy demand. However, this energy usage is hindered by a lack of efficiency in HVAC systems, insufficient insulation, and the continuous need for fresh air, resulting in approximately 30% of this energy being wasted. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) play […]

Bagged salads have been linked to foodborne illness outbreaks implicating Salmonella, E coli and Listeria. It was commonly believed that the post-harvest washing applied prior to bagging would remove field-acquired contamination. However, through various lines of research has illustrated that washing can result in cross-contamination of produce rather than decontamination. The majority of research performed […]

Dust and biomass debris have serious negative effects on the performance of material handling farm equipment, such as reduced efficiency, increased maintenance costs, and heightened fire hazards. However, there is a lack of understanding of dust and debris generation and dispersion within farm equipment. CNH Industrial is searching for innovative solution for dust and biomass […]

Demand for higher-capacity batteries has been rising exponentially from industries such as zero-emission vehicles, smart grids, unmanned aerial vehicles, and many others. However, current battery technology is limited by graphite anode materials, which have a low specific capacity. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of battery-grade graphites is criticized for the amount of GHG and environmental damage […]

Les enjeux de données, collection et annotation, sont des points clés de l’industrie des véhicules autonomes et des systèmes d’aide à la conduite. La simulation apprise depuis les données, sans passer par une modélisation de l’environnement, est une technologie à haut potentiel pour toute l’industrie. L’enjeu principal reste la séparation du background foreground, permettant la […]

The proposed research project will focus on the development of novel techniques to improve the assessment of psychological functions. Current psychological tests are limited in their ability to provide quantitative information on an individual’s ability to move and interact with their environment. Many psychological tests are computer-based systems that have been developed to assess psychological […]

In the current digital world, users are constantly sending companies signals of their experiences and preferences in various shapes and forms, including likes/dislikes of a particular offer/product, reviews on platforms and social media, and contacting customer service. However, despite the abundance of signals, E-commerce companies are unable to rapidly gain meaningful and actionable insights from […]

The attractive physicochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of PHAs, combined with their biodegradability and biocompatibility, make them exciting materials that can support an environmentally sustainable circular bioeconomy. In this research project, we plan to develop an extraction and purification process for recovering PHAs from bacteria. The recovered PHAs will be further characterized with a focus […]

The aims of this proposal are to enhance technical support through design processes, internal management, and quality assurance of TROES. The objective is to optimize the design process to improve customer support, strengthen collaboration between the technical support and business development teams, and implement quality assurance protocols. Additionally, the project seeks to enhance operational efficiency […]
