Junior Momo Ziazet did its work-term with IVADO Laboratories-Canada and proposed a reinforcement learning framework to solve a crucial problem facing telecommunications operators today, that of routing and spectrum allocation for transmissions in elastic optical networks. The idea was to design an intelligent agent with a global vision on the network’s activities and great adaptability.
While at Aims, Guy’s goal was to describe, analyze and digitize the procedure for obtaining a building permit at Limbe City Council. He proposed a web application to simplify this procedure with a database (containing all the building permits and information about applicants) behind it. He collected data between 2014 and 2019 from the Limbe
While at AIMS, Pierre studied the spread of histidine-rich protein – HRP2/3 gene deletions in Plasmodium Falciparum. To understand the evolutionary process underlying the origin and the spread of HRP gene deletions, he introduced a deterministic population-genetic model, tailored to the characteristics of malaria transmission, to study the evolutionary dynamics of HRP2 and 3 deletions.
While at AIMS, Albert studied the correspondence bijective between the theory of algebraic curves and the theory of function fields, this correspondence allows us to prove the Belyi’s theorem in positive characteristic in the language of function fields. Albert is currently pursuing a joint PhD program in Mathematics between the University of Coimbra and the
While at AIMS, Minette’s essay was focused on the dynamics of the tight-binding model, by looking at the equation of motions of molecules and of the electrons. She investigated two distinct solutions to these two coupled nonlinear equations, namely localized nonlinear solutions describing a pulse for the electron amplitude coexisting with a kink-shaped lattice deformation
While at AIMS, Leah analyzed England’s school capacity data with the main objective of identifying areas with excess and shortfall of school places. She carried out her analysis on the current and projected pupil forecasts and capacity. Leah is currently a Research Fellow at the University of North Carolina, USA.
While at AIMS, Christian studied drug resistance in Malaria and built a method to estimate frequencies of drug-resistance-associated haplotypes characterized by two SNPs in malaria, and multiplicity of infection (MOI). His aim was to have a clear understanding of the origin and spread of mutations responsible for drug resistance and have reliable methods at hand
While at AIMS, Francisca presented a classic epidemic model of an emerging skin debilitating disease with rising prevalence called the Buruli ulcer, model which involves four different populations: human, water bugs, mosquitoes and M.Ulcerans. She studied the steady states and obtained the condition for their existence using the basic reproduction number. Francisca is currently a
While at AIMS, Parfum studied mathematical modeling of the evolution of HIV/AIDS infection in the community, with a view to determining eradication thresholds of disease. He proposed models of different stages of viral treatment, based on current knowledge about HIV transmission and treatment, guiding efficient public-health awareness campaigns. Parfum is currently a PhD student at
While at AIMS, Anne studied Tandem junctions formed by Kesterite or Perovskite on thin silicon bottom cell. She first modelled the two sub-cells that will be used to form the tandem junction, then evaluated the performance of the bottom cell. She found that Solar cell performance is highly dependent on the layer parameters and mainly
