Sustainable nanomaterials, such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rod-like nanoparticles obtained by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cellulose fibres.

Join Research Talks, a panel discussion and Q&A examining the future of
employment featuring:

Meet graduate student researchers from science,
engineering, and mathematics and hear how they discovered quantum information
science found their way into research, and how the skills they gained in
their undergraduate studies are helping them develop the next generation of
quantum technology.

Title: Preliminary Development of a Microfluidic Tool for the Characterization of Molecular Machines
Date: December 14, 2021
Time: 13:00
Place: online
Supervisor(s): Backhouse, Chris (Adjunct) - Wright, Derek

Abstract:
Droplet interface bilayers (DIBs) have been proposed as a key tool to better study transmembrane proteins and their quantum
biology. This work focused on developing a microfluidic device for the formation of DIBs.

Title: XC: Exploring Quantitative Use Cases for Explanations in 3D Object Detection
Date: December 22, 2021
Time: 13:00
Place: online
Supervisor(s): Czarnecki, Krzysztof

Abstract:
Explainable AI (XAI) methods are frequently applied to obtain qualitative insights
about deep models’ predictions. However, such insights need to be interpreted by a human
observer to be useful. In this thesis, we aim to use explanations directly to make decisions
