Machine Learning Techniques for Chemical Prediction during Carbon Capture and Storage
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential part of limiting anthropogenic climate change. The carbon storage aspect of CCS involves the injection of CO2-rich fluid deep under...
Effective and Semantic Communication in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
My project focuses on designing goal-oriented communication frameworks and systems using machine learning optimisation techniques. The communication problem can be divided into 3 l...
Slavery and Race in the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1768-1860): A Text Mining Approach
I will apply data mining techniques to examine language use in the Encyclopaedia Britannica from 1768-1860 to identify passive and distancing language used in relation to themes of...
Investigating offline harms of online misinformation through Anti-5G conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theories claim that significant social events were caused by secret actions of malevolent groups, planned to disguise their own interests (Douglas, Sutton, & Cic...
The Biopsychosocial Model of Depersonalisation
Depersonalisation and derealisation are symptoms of distress that are strikingly under researched despite their prominence in clinical and general populations (Aderibigbe et al, 20...
Measuring the electron electric dipole moment using an array of ultracold molecules
The Standard Model of particle physics is one of the greatest achievements of modern science. It has been fabulously successful in classifying the fundamental particles and explain...
Hypothalamic regulation of animal reproductive behavior
PROJECT SUMMARY.Disruptions to sexual desire are a leading cause of patient noncompliance, greatly in- creasing risk to mental and physical wellbeing.Furthermore, reduced sexual de...
Collaborative Research: Leveraging Fluid-Structure Interactions for Efficient Control in Geophysical Flows
Microvehicles provide a low-cost platform for a variety of robotics and automation applications. Their excellent maneuverability, agility, and ability to operate in truly three-dim...
RCN-UBE: Transforming Ecology Education to Four Dimensional Network
The Transforming Ecology Education network, spearheaded by the Ecological Society of America, seeks to catalyze the adaptation and adoption of the Four-Dimensional Ecology Educatio...
New Methodologies for Connectomics
PROJECT ABSTRACT The nervous systems of animals are comprised of neurons connected by a large number of synapses. The resulting neural networks underlie animal behavior and contrib...
Mixed methods research to increase engagement and smoking abstinence among African Americans enrolled in Quitline text messaging services
Project Summary/Abstract Cigarettes are used by over 34 million U.S. adults and cause more than 480,000 deaths annually due to smoking and smoke exposure. Despite smoking at simila...
Behavioral and Neural Substrates of Odor-Guided Navigation in the Human Brain
ABSTRACT Sensory systems have evolved to help meet the behavioral needs of organisms to ensure survival. Across the animal kingdom, two sensory functions are paramount: first, to i...
