Automatic Digital Twin for Critical Nuclear Island Components Through Novel Machining Data Acquisition
In this project, you will work on a new technique to create digital twin data during machining. You will develop the technique further and work with multinational companies to apply it to critical components in the nuclear sector. Read more
Structure of the Azores plateau from earthquake seismology
The Azores Plateau is considered to have grown somewhat like Iceland, by excess volcanism at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and by volcanism continuing to historical times on the islands and in submarine areas around them. Read more
Fully-Funded OIST International PhD Program
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) accredited in 2011 as a graduate university located in a beautiful subtropical island of Okinawa, Japan. Read more
Ancient Genomics and Irish Human History
The overarching aim of this project is to construct one of the most highly resolved prehistoric demographies known for any world region with long-term human occupation, with a specific focus on interrogating past cycles of collapse, recovery and migration. Read more
Finding a novel integrated phase-change material (PCM) with thermal system for building application: A nearly net-zero carbon emission and green strategy in enhancing the sustainable built environment
Phase-change material (PCM) has the capability to enhance the indoor thermal comfort of a building as well as it has the potential to balance the heat and cool effect of a building material, especially when the material is exposed to severe environment. Read more
Landscape ecology and genetics of Bornean species inhabiting a fragmented landscape
The island of Borneo has some of the oldest rainforests in the world, however, that environment has become threatened by logging and its conversion to agriculture over the last 50-100 years. Read more
Evolution of transmissible cancers in Tasmanian devils
Tasmanian devils are marsupial carnivores endemic to the Australian island of Tasmania. This species is affected by two transmissible cancers, known as devil facial tumour 1 (DFT1) and devil facial tumour 2 (DFT2). Read more
High resolution methods for assessment of heat loss from plants and arrays of buildings.
PROJECT SUMMARY. . With this project, we propose an investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of an array of buildings (or a set of heat sources in an industrial plant or in a power plant) with a cross flow (horizontal wind). Read more
Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.
How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment.
