AI for Extraction of Biomedical Signals from Headphones

In an age of so many new wearable devices, e.g., smartwatches, glasses, rings, clothing, and so on, headphones can be recognized as the first widely adopted wearable device. They have been around for more than a century and have been used mostly as an output device for listening to music, or, in the recent decades, […]

Algorithmic and Software Progress in Symbolic Computation

In recent years, research in computer algebra has expanded beyond its traditional territories, such as exact linear algebra and formal solutions of partial differential equations, to enter new arenas, such as symbolic analysis and polyhedral geometry. The proposed research projects will expand the scope of computer algebra systems (CAS) into these two new areas. They […]

Improving reliability of solid-state nanopore sensors through redundancy and chemical functionalization

Solid-state nanopores—tiny holes in thin glass similar in size to biomolecules like proteins or DNA—are poised to disrupt many essential growth markets, including genomics and proteomics, personalized medicine, point-ofcare diagnostics, and next-generation information storage. While holding great promise as a broadly applicable disruptive technology, solid-state nanopore sensors are individually failure-prone, requiring use of many in […]

Improvement of GCxGC-MS compound identification and development of multi-omics integration techniques using a clinical stool sample set

Multiomics studies of the human microbiome have an enormous potential for understanding the mechanism of biological processes involving the microbial community and the metabolites produced by gut microbiota. We will apply a multiomics strategy to clinical fecal samples using a novel collection device to stabilize fecal metabolites at room temperature, thereby making the standard practise […]

A Microfluidic Biosensor for Monitoring Post-Operative Drainage Fluid

Anastomotic Leakage is a common complication that can occur shortly after surgery and lead to increased mortality rates if it is detected too late. The current method of detection relies on monitoring clinical symptoms and visual inspection of the surgical drain fluid, but this process is often delayed and reactive. NERv Technology Inc. is dedicated […]

Encrypted IoT Network Traffic Analysis for Cybersecurity

Use of clear-text for network communication is quickly becoming obsolete. End-to-end encryption of mobile applications and proliferation of TLS based encrypted traffic are fueling the growth of encrypted traffic on the Internet. Many applications tunnel traffic over HTTPS. Today, over 80% of Internet traffic is encrypted. With the recent advancement of TLS handshake, traditional mechanisms […]

Effective experimental and modelling approaches to investigate CO2 capture with IL/water

The increasing concentration of CO2 has caused various adverse environmental effects on the Earth’s oceans, land, and atmosphere, leading to a worldwide consensus on the necessity of action and commitment to emission reduction. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which involves capturing CO2 resulting from industrial processes for storage in underground geological formations, has proven to […]

Speech enhancement and recognition with generative adversarial network

While taking foreign language tests, people may record responses with different environments and equipment. sometimes the recording may not be very clear. The low-quality audios can lead to unusual results in speech recognition and scoring by the scoring systems. Audios with a higher resolution (sample rates) contain richer information since greater frequency ranges can be […]

Recruitment in cavity-nesting ducks along the lower Saint John River floodplain

Waterfowl are important to many people, organizations and cultures for their beauty, hunting opportunities and environmental importance. While these species are prevalent and well-studied throughout North America, what actually governs the growth and declines are still heavily debated. This work will address this issue by examining some possible population drivers in three waterfowl species (wood […]
