Photon scattering by an atomic ensemble coupled to a one-dimensional nanophotonic waveguide by Song, Guo-Zhu, Munro, Ewan, Nie, Wei, Deng, Fu-Guo, Yang, Guo-Jian, Kwek, Leong-Chuan

“…We quantify the influence of decoherence originating from both dephasing and population relaxation, and analyze the effect of the inhomogeneous broadening on the transport properties of the incident field. Moreover, we observe that strong photon-photon correlation with quantum beats can be generated in the off-resonant case, which provides an effective method for producing nonclassical light in experiment. …”

An investigation on the role of tarsal flexibility in insect walking by Tjuatja, Johan

“…The study is done by removing tarsal flexibility in insect legs via applying heat shrink tube on the tarsi of chosen beetles, and then observing how it impacts the walking of the beetles. The result of the experiment shows that two out of three experimental beetles ‘struggled’ to walk after the removal of their tarsal flexibility. …”

Nonlinear regression approach for GPS multipath mitigation : from code to carrier-phase measurements by Phan, Quoc Huy

“…My next target is to unify an evaluation framework for multipath mitigation problems with well-defined tests, and evaluation criteria, as this is missing in the literature. Whereas further experiments on carrier-phase multipath mitigation as well as on data recorded from the field need to be done, there is also still room for improvement in multipath estimation algorithms with the focus on computational complexity reduction and incremental learning ability. …”

Deep learning with application to hashing by Zhang, Boshen

“…What I mainly researched on is an inter-discipline field: deep learning for cross view hashing. Multiple layers of representation in deep learning has the property of abstracting representation from input data, while, in the cross view similarity search, the biggest difficulty is to represent items from one domain to another. …”
