Past Projects

 

Investigating Verbal and Non-Verbal Synchronization in Preschool Children

 
  • This research presents a novel and comprehensive study aimed at understanding and enhancing communication among preschool children by examining both verbal and non-verbal synchronization.
  • Verbal synchronization refers to how individuals naturally adjust their speech patterns, including accents, intonation, and vocabulary, to align with others, while non-verbal synchronization involves coordinating physical movements, such as gestures.
  • The study seeks to define and measure these forms of synchronization within triads of preschool children, investigate their relationship, explore their development with age, and examine their connection to communication characteristics.
  • Additionally, the research aims to develop a synchronization index to assess communication in young children, leveraging advanced AI and machine learning techniques.

Robust Optimization and Parameter Estimation in Queueing Networks

  • This project pioneers advancements in optimization and optimal control within queueing systems and queueing networks.
  • With a focus on both optimization under uncertainty and the estimation of model parameters, we tackle the challenges posed by systems experiencing high demand for constrained resources.
  • Our efforts seek to enhance decision-making in this complex environment by refining statistical parameter estimation techniques as well as finding solutions that are optimal under the uncertain circumstances.
