| This project will be based on the preliminary results obtained from a previous master project in causal graphical modeling of autonomous dysreflexia (AD). The focus of the extension would be two-fold. One is improving the temporal graphical reconstruction for understanding the mechanism of AD. The other one is building a forecasting framework for the early detection and prevention of AD using the graph structure we constructed before. Please refer to the attached document for more details about the task description. Based on the candidate's qualifications, funding/allowance can be provided. - Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Autonomic Nervous System

| Organs-on-Chip (OoC) replicate human organs in vitro but often lack physiological perfusion profiles. This project aims to develop a compact robotic XY stage for integration with OoC perfusion systems, enhancing automation and precision. By improving compatibility and mimicking dynamic blood flow, this innovation advances research and pharmaceutical applications. - Biomedical Engineering

| Human intention drives goal-directed actions, requiring decomposition into hierarchical instructions, from abstract strategies to concrete interactions. Robotics seeks to automate these instructions, but challenges arise in domains like neurorehabilitation, where complex human-robot interactions introduce inefficiencies from incomplete automation, diverse user preferences for strategies, and difficulties to engage with technical parameters.
This thesis will explore shared instruction space characteristics across robotic domains, focusing on bottlenecks in automating high-level instructions. Novel metrics will be developed that define and classify instruction layers, strategies, and requirements. - Intelligent Robotics

| In this project, we focus on continuous and quantitative monitoring of activities of daily living (ADL) in SCI individuals with the goal of identifying cardiovascular events and PI-related risk behaviors.
ADLs specific to SCI patients and their lifestyles shall be discussed and narrowed down in the scope of this work, therefore an autonomous camera-based system is proposed to classify ADLs.
The Current work builds on a previous project where a SlowFast network [1] was trained to identify SCI-specific classes and we aim to further improve the classification and temporal resolution for transferring to wearables' time-series data. - Computer Vision, Health Information Systems (incl.

| Modern wearable and nearable sensors allow for continuous 24-hour health monitoring. In clinical settings, such a richness of data is highly desirable to closely monitor the health status of patients, however, often not exploited due to the lack of common interfaces and the overall complexity of integrating the devices into the clinical routine. Moreover, future treatment devices could benefit from interfacing with these sensors through a common interface to perform closed-loop interventions.
In this project, you will develop a novel time-series online synchronization and communication agent adaptable to data changes for interfacing wearable, nearable sensors data with robots in an intelligent system.
Together with a research team in Japan, this work will be implemented at several clinical settings. - Biomedical Engineering, Biosensor Technologies, Computer-Human Interaction, Conceptual Modelling, Data Structures, Digital Systems, Engineering/Technology Instrumentation, Information Storage, Retrieval and Management, Intelligent Robotics, Medical and Health Sciences, Operating Systems, Signal Processing, Software Engineering
