Going Beyond Backlash: Mitigating Resistance to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives

Some may think that it is only members of underrepresented and marginalized groups who experience identity threat in an organization. However, members of traditionally well-represented groups can feel threatened by diversity, equity, and justice (DEI) initiatives, and this can result to backlash which could derail those efforts. Through a collaboration with Feminuity, a consulting firm […]

Characterization of Simple In Vivo Models of Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Disease

Modelis is a drug discovery platform company focused solely on rare, genetic diseases. Our unique approach combines genetically-engineered worms which are ‘avatars’ of human patients, with high-throughput drug screening. This results in a dramatically accelerated drug discovery process. Our platform is perfectly suited for genes that are evolutionarily and functionally conserved such as FIG4, and […]

Secure Communication Based on Public Key Distribution with Imbalanced Twin-Field-QKD-like Infrastructure in Classical Coherent Optical Fiber Network

In quantum key distribution (QKD), the twin-field has been proposed as a means to overcome the linear key rate bound, and hence the key generation rate, as well as to enable repeaterless QKD transmission. Despite significant progress in TF-QKD and its variations in recent times, the key rates are still significantly low compared to practical […]

Improvement of a Portable Assistive Device Concept for Hand Rehabilitation

As the number of patients with stroke and Parkinson’s Disease (PD) increases, it is essential to obtain treatment progress data efficiently for the home rehabilitation. For the therapy of hand disabilities, a system is required to collect data, process and control hand motions during rehabilitation. Current rehabilitation devices that are available in the market are […]

Visualizing complex building analysis data to increase comprehension of public audience

This research study focuses on the communication and transmission of technical and industrial analytic data, developed by our research partner, ioAirFlow. Because the current recipients of ioAirFlow data reports are not always data- or engineering-trained professionals, complex data is not often understood or acted upon. This research internship focuses on ways in which to develop […]

Demonstration of Dissipative coupling from an Electrical-Magnetic friction coupled pendulum system

Laboratory pedagogy is considered absolutely critical for physics and engineering education ranging from high school to university. Among all universities worldwide, a well-known first-year physics experiment demonstration is a spring-coupled pendulums system. It demonstrates the coherent coupling; the underlying physics is reflected from classical mechanics to advanced quantum systems. It has excellent application from a […]

Development of an embedded piezoelectric sensor for bearing fault detection

Rolling element bearings act as the heart of rotating machines. Any imperfection in their condition can lead to an abrupt failure which can be catastrophic. For more than two decades, implementing sensors for condition monitoring of bearings has been beneficial in preventing abrupt failure and fault detection. These sensors require a noise-free atmosphere to have […]
