Faculty Presentations
Dr. Sabah Mohammed, Professor, Computer Science, Lakehead University. Dr. Mohammed'sresearch interest is in intelligent systems that have to operate in large, nondeterministic, cooperative, highly connected, survivable, adaptive or partially known domains.
Abstract: QL4POMR: A Graph-Based Problem Oriented Medical Record |
Dr. Carlos Zerpa, Associate Professor, Kinesiology, Lakehead University. Dr. Zerpa teaches and researches in the area of biomechanics. More specifically, his research focuses on the dynamic interaction of biological, mechanical and behavioural systems of the human body including cognition and learning to develop optimization measurement techniques for the assessment of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and antalgic gait patterns.
Abstract: Concussions in Sports: Biomechanics Measures |
Dr. Nandakumar Kanavillil, Professor. Department of Biology, Sustainability Sciences
Abstract: Formation, impacts and removal of biofilms from surfaces of interest |
