Recently, the near-surface temperature in the Arctic region has been increasing at a faster rate than the global average. Also, many studies show the distinct vertical profile of Arctic warming is determined by various driving mechanisms. Here, we will show how polar warming of different vertical structure affects the climate responses locally as well as […]

Modern robots depend on numerous hardware devices and human interaction in order to perform their task. These dependencies, in addition to the distributed nature of these systems, make automated full-system testing difficult. Current testing practices are insufficient as they only test a single component of the system or require costly manual labor. Many companies have […]

My main field of interest is environmental behavior, which deals with interrelations between physical environments and human behaviors regarding urban- and architectural safety planning. I am currently planning to conduct an experimental research on public safety issues (fire/escape, terror/crimes) in urban- and architectural environments utilizing Virtual Reality technologies, and although I have recently acquired fundamental […]

The main research theme of the project is to achieve reconfigurable assembly state of plasmonic NPs by controlling its trapping agent, LCs, under multi-stimuli system. There are two kinds of multi-stimuli LC control platform; one is static system in which anchoring, rubbing, and confinement can be modified, while the other is dynamic system which is […]

The aim of this project is to propose an improved mobile-based localization scheme by considering a practical factor (i.e., ship-motion) in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs). In the last decade, localization techniques associated with UASNs have been widely studied as a method to provide fundamental support for many location-based applications. In particular, mobile beacon-based localization […]

In order to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional approaches to steel structure damage detection and to improve reliability and safety of existing steel structures, this research proposes to develop an innovative autonomous SHM system that offers transformative enhancements over existing steel structure monitoring systems. This will involve: 1. Collecting Collecting image data from various […]

PUBLIC is an innovative print periodical with a 25 year history exploring the intersection between art, design, technology and contemporary culture. This Mitacs fellowship will develop the journal’s open access interactive web platform, PUBLIC:PORTAL, using information visualization and design to showcase the journal’s cutting-edge collaborative and cross-disciplinary work. This project designs and tests graphical user […]

Le projet a pour objectif principal le développement de nanocapteurs piézoélectriques flexibles peu coûteux à base du polymère polyfluorure de vinylidène (PVDF) fabriqués par électrofilage. Ce polymère piézoélectrique, qui transforme une déformation mécanique en champ électrique, est un matériau chimiquement inerte qui peut être utilisé pour de nombreuses applications, Il a été montré dans la […]

Afin de remédier à la perte d’autonomie chez un amputé, l’utilisation d’une prothèse active, c’est-à-dire qui effectue des mouvements, est recommandée. Toutefois, leur contrôle peu naturel explique pourquoi les amputés adhèrent difficilement à cette solution. Or, un contrôle beaucoup plus intuitif pourrait être effectué en détectant en premier lieu le mouvement souhaité par l’amputé puis […]

In this research, we construct an open evolving network model and study growing conditions of the model. We construct a simple network model that changes the structure and evolves according to time, and we examine the causes of macroscopic phenomena (e.g. earthquake and meteorological phenomenon, brain activity, etc.) through the characteristics of motif dynamics constituting […]

Quantum mechanics explains the behavior of particles in sub-atomic levels. A feature of quantum mechanics is that measurable properties of physical systems occur in complementary pairs : one can ‘know’ the value of only one of the paired properties at any point in time. For example, measuring the position observable changes the value of the […]

As in the classical case, quantum computers are modeled by circuits: that is, basic components connected by wires. Circuit models of computation are used for optimization, minimizing the cost of implementing quantum computers. There are various circuit models for quantum computing with different features. Models of quantum computation generally do not allow for information to […]
