This internship, in collaboration with the Public Actions Group of ICESI University (GAPI), focuses on the critical study of climate change’s impact on human migration and human rights. Our investigation will cover seven key topics: natural phenomena driving human mobility, the effects of climate-induced migration on human rights, the vulnerabilities of migrating groups, livelihood losses due to climate changes, environmental policies, climate litigation, and measures to mitigate environmental damage to populations. We aim to explore the relationships between climate change, human mobility and human rights focusing on three primary objectives: analyzing the impact of climate change on human mobility, assessing human rights violations among environmental migrants, and identifying effective protection policies. In addition to its regional focus, this research also seeks to draw broader lessons that can be applied to policies in other countries. The findings from this study will be pertinent to other regions experiencing similar climate-induced migration challenges. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the Latin American context, the research will offer valuable insights that can inform global policy discussions on environmental migration and human rights.

optimizing healthcare management using deep learning

Initially within the application procedure for searching appropriate combination of care seeker/giver matches it’s observed that user must select a range of options like the type of health care worker (HCW) needed for the job, credentials they require, their estimated rate, distance from the location desired, choosing level of experience HCW possesses, and checking whether or not they have any expertise for each disease that care is needed for which creates a burden for the customer to to be able to manually filter the search criteria according to their needs. And, the same can hold true for the care workers as well, at least after the initial setup they might need to filter the search criteria for jobs of interest every time based on some of the criteria mentioned above and parameters like healthcare setting, care schedule, care services, employment type, etc. Thus, an efficient optimization algorithm based on ensemble of models can eliminate the need to do manual repetitive tasks, find better combinations based on the need, increase user satisfaction. This approach takes into account that not all the parameters in finding a match have same level of importance. And as a result better care planning leads to less user frustration for both parties involved helping the platform to grow faster.

Antennas and Lenses for Lunar Mission Applications

This project focuses on revolutionizing space communication through the design and optimization of customized conical horn antennas tailored specifically for space applications. Horn antennas are pivotal in facilitating efficient communication in space, offering unmatched versatility in controlling radiation patterns and providing high efficiency. This project aims to optimize horn antenna geometries and design metrics by employing advanced numerical techniques and optimization algorithms, in order to create antennas that meet the unique demands of space missions. Through meticulous customization of antenna geometry and iterative simulations, we ensure optimal performance, including minimized sidelobes and enhanced radiation pattern stability across frequencies. In addition, we will study and extend the requirements on the horn antennas’ radiation patterns to obtain the desired illumination profiles where and when the horn antenna serves as a spatial feed for other planar antenna arrays in space applications.

Optical characterization of 2D functionalized nanomaterials in the gas phase

Graphene is a promising new nanomaterial, single layers of graphite, with superior physical and electrical properties making it an ideal candidate for electrical applications; however, current graphene production methods are expensive and complicated. As a result, new materials that have similar properties to graphene, but are more amenable to high-yield production are currently being investigated. A strong candidate is reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which is synthesized by inserting oxygen into graphite making it easier to separate into single layers and then removing the oxygen to get graphene-like properties. The final rGO has similar properties to graphene; however, when removing the oxygen not all oxygen atoms will be removed and defects may be introduced. This can lead to changes in shape and size greatly affecting the final properties. This makes it crucial to understand the shape and size of any rGO produced, ideally in line with the manufacturing. This project looks to use time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TiRe-LII). TiRe-LII uses a laser pulse to heat nanoparticles and records the incandescence as the particle cools. This data can be used to infer particle characteristics, size, and shape. This project examines the potential of using TiRe-LII to characterize rGO for in-line measurements.

Stage ESPCI Paris automne 2024

Nous allons faire l’analyse par résonance magnétique nucléaire du solide de bétons contenant du métakaolin (argile calcinée). Il est considéré que le métakaolin pourrait éventuellement remplacer le ciment Portland, dont la fabrication est l’un des principaux contributeurs à l’émission de gaz à effet de serre. Ce stage se fera dans le laboratoire de Science et Ingénierie de la Matière Molle de l’école ESPCI à Paris, qui est une des références dans ce domaine.

Obtention de profils génétiques grâce aux polymorphismes d’insertion de rétrotransposons à partir d’éléments pileux avec et sans follicules.

One of the situations that the Forensic Science needs to address is to establish the identity of a human or an specimen from a biological sample. The contribution of this project will be to obtain an optimized method for extracting DNA from hairs with and without follicles and to generate allelic frequencies suitable for use of UNNUL markers in latin american population. The project will also assess whether the successful generation of a genetic profile from follicle-free hair is due to the presence of epithelial cells observed on the outer part of the hair. This will establish a correlation between the quantity of cells, the amount of recovered DNA, and the quality of genetic profiles using INNUL markers. This will integrate microscopic analyses with genetic studies to recover DNA from follicle-free hair, utilizing the techniques and facilities for trace DNA analysis. The information obtained during the internship will enable the development of a protocol applicable in Mexico and other countries to obtain high-quality genetic profiles from hair samples with and without follicles. This will contribute to advancements in forensic science practices, not only benefiting Mexico but potentially serving as a model for other regions facing similar challenges.

Co-creation and evaluation of tools to facilitate the implementation and appropriation of evidence-based adapted physical activity training modules for community-based organizations.

Based on the needs of community partners (Viomax and Adaptavie), we co-developed nine training modules and successfully trained kinesiologists who provide adapted physical activity services to persons with disabilities. Our proposed project aims to co-create and evaluate tools to support the implementation of these training modules within adapted physical activity community-based organizations who provide adapted physical activity services. Using an integrated knowledge translation approach, this project will be completed in two phases. Phase 1 consists of working groups to co-create the implementation tools. In Phase 2, organizations (Adaptavie, Viomax, and 2-3 arms-length organizations) will actively use the tools to implement the training modules within their organizations while being observed by the research team to determine what works and what does not. The result will be useable tools to facilitate the appropriation and implementation of training modules within community-based organizations
