Towards certification of a new green fan abradable material

The abradable rub strip (ARS) material’s main function is to minimize the clearance between blade tips and the fan case, thereby increasing the overall engine efficiency. Under tensile and compressive loading, the abradable material behaves different, and has a significant post-failure compaction under compressive loading. Therefore, its characterization is complex and requires a wide range […]

Towards Fully Automated Tumor and Organ-at-Risk Detection and Segmentation from PSMA PET and SPECT Scans of Prostate Cancer Patients

Prostate cancer is the third deadliest cancer in men and early detection is crucial. PSMA is a protein that is highly present in prostate cells, making it a promising target for imaging and treatment. Total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) is a measure of tumors’ characteristics, but it is currently not measured in clinical settings due […]

Threat actor group profiling

Understanding the current panorama of threat actor groups worldwide is critical to building efficient cybersecurity programs. Information about threat actor groups’ motivations, tools, tactics and techniques they use to attack, and the type of targets they have in their sights provide valuable information to cybersecurity teams. To achieve this goal is essential to generate intelligence […]

Mining Event Tracing for Windows (ETW)

As cyber adversaries are becoming more creative, analysts are required to figure out more innovative ways to detect them to be able to respond before it’s too late. To detect any underlying threat inside a system, data logs are collected showing events and activities occurring inside the system. Adversaries nowadays are capable of evading detection […]

Out of Distribution Detection in Deep Generative Models

As generative models become increasingly prominent in machine learning, the need for accurately detecting out-of-distribution data has become crucial. The primary objective of this research is to develop an approach that can identify when the program encounters data that is vastly different from what it was trained on. In machine learning, programs may make errors […]

Adapting Not-for-Profit Arts Publishing to the Post-Digital Paradigm

PUBLIC (est. 1988) is a not-for-profit print periodical exploring the intersection of art, design, technology, and culture. This research project advances that history by looking at the future of print culture as today’s artists are increasingly making and exhibiting work in online spaces. How can PUBLIC promote engaging and accessible conversations around artists working exclusively […]

Exploring an interactive multisensory physical movements model during and beyond COVID-19: a case study of children with special needs

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced children to quickly adapt to home-based or virtual learning; however, a number of researchers have identified challenges and difficulties with applying and using technology. More importantly, there has been a significant rise in the rates of mental illness occurring as a result of COVID-19 and children are now experiencing increased […]

Two-step personalized federated learning algorithm in reality

Machine learning attempts to model high-level abstractions in data using multiple processing layers with complex structures or non-linear transformations. Federated learning is a distributed machine learning approach that allows multiple parties to collaborate on training while preserving user data privacy. However, the data from each party is typically non-independent and identically distributed (Non-IID), which can […]
