The subjective effects of oppression: Anna Julia Cooper and Black Existentialism
By going back to Anna Julia Cooper — an important though understudied figure of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries —, the present project draws on my docto...
Renewable energy on the high seas – science-informed and indigenous knowledge-based recommendations for regulatory and governance challenges
The high seas are those marine areas under no State's jurisdiction. So far, all marine renewable energy (RE) activity is being conducted under State's jurisdiction. Howev...
Detection and Global Risk Assessment of Coastal Transitional Climate and Neo-climate Regions in a Warming World
The most recent report of the IPCC-AR6 indicates that coastal areas are at risk under the climate emergency that the planet faces, and now more than ever, adaptation is an urgent n...
VITNK - deciphering vitamin A and D regulation of human NK cells for cellular immunotherapy
Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic innate immune cells that defend against viral infections and cancer. As cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, more effecti...
Using an organoid model to understand epithelial immunity in IBD
As the first line of defense against intestinal pathogens, gut epithelial cells are an essential part of the immune system. They may play an important role in immune-mediated disea...
Molecular Catalyst Immobilized into Porous Photocathode for production of Solar fuel
The biggest contributor to ‘global warming’ is CO2 emission by burning fossil fuels. It is feasible to achieve carbon neutrality by recycling CO2 to fuels, which has a negative car...
