This research uses machine learning, data mining, and optimization techniques to identify hidden relationships between products in retail shopping baskets. By analyzing over two million transactions, it predicts how promotions affect demand across products and helps retailers design smarter discount strategies, improve inventory planning, increase profits, and enhance customer satisfaction.

This research develops adaptable machine learning methods for wildlife monitoring using camera trap images. By clustering visually similar animal images, the system dramatically reduces the amount of manual labeling required while maintaining accuracy. The approach could enable faster, large-scale biodiversity monitoring critical for protecting endangered species worldwide.

This research develops a machine-learning and data-assimilation framework that combines idealized and operational Earth systems models into a high-resolution, physically realistic “bridging model.” Applied to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation, the approach improves climate simulation accuracy while enabling exploration of alternative climate regimes and physically consistent what-if scenarios.

This research improves weather and climate forecasting by studying how dry air mixes into thunderstorm clouds, a process called entrainment. Using satellite observations, radar data, and interpretable machine learning, the work refines outdated cloud physics models, helping scientists better predict severe weather, hurricanes, and long-term climate behavior.

This research uses computational photography and machine learning to monitor electricity quality through the flickering patterns of everyday lights. By analyzing images captured in cities such as Kampala and Nairobi, the work offers a low-cost method for measuring voltage instability and improving power-grid planning in underserved communities lacking reliable electricity infrastructure.

This research explores how artificial intelligence systems can continue learning without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. Instead of erasing old information, the proposed method compresses knowledge into more efficient representations, allowing AI systems such as self-driving cars to adapt safely to new environments while avoiding dangerous performance failures during learning.

This research uses artificial intelligence to predict the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and cancer using medical imaging data. By analyzing brain scans, tumor scans, and treatment responses, AI models can forecast disease development and treatment outcomes, enabling earlier intervention, more personalized care, and improved quality of life for aging populations.

This research introduces iCares, a smart wound-monitoring bandage designed to detect infection and inflammation before visible symptoms appear. Using biosensors, fluid sampling, and machine learning, the system provides real-time wound analysis, enabling earlier intervention, personalized treatment, reduced complications, and improved healing outcomes for patients with chronic wounds.

This research addresses exercise-related injuries by modeling individual physical capacity rather than relying on population averages. Using physiological and biomechanical data combined with machine learning, it aims to create personalized, dynamic thresholds for training. The goal is to prevent injury by aligning workload with real-time capacity, improving safety and long-term fitness outcomes.

Generative AI chatbots are predictive systems that generate human-like responses without true understanding. Using large datasets, they model word relationships similarly to weather forecasting. While effective, they can produce convincing inaccuracies, or “hallucinations.” This research emphasizes interpreting AI realistically—as probabilistic tools with limitations—rather than attributing human cognition to them.
