New Study on Cross-disciplinary Diagnostics Published in Veterinary Quarterly

Dr Lan’s latest study highlights a cross-disciplinary collaboration with a veterinary science team to develop a machine learning–based diagnostic approach that accelerates disease detection in companion animals. By integrating computational modelling with veterinary oncology expertise, the project analyses patterns in serum biomarkers to distinguish pathological signatures with high sensitivity. The collaborative framework enables rapid screening from minimally invasive samples, supporting earlier and more reliable clinical decisions. This work underscores the value of bridging artificial intelligence and veterinary medicine, and points towards scalable diagnostic tools that may improve outcomes in animal health care.

Innovative Approach to Flapping Flight Analysis Published in Physica D

Dr Lan and Dr Lai’s latest study, ‘Accelerating Flapping Flight Analysis: Reducing CFD Dependency with a Hybrid Decision Tree Approach for Swift Velocity Predictions’, has been published in Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena. The research introduces a novel framework combining signal decomposition and decision tree algorithms, reducing computational time by up to 75% while maintaining high accuracy. Validated with damselfly data, this approach accelerates flapping flight analysis and supports the efficient design of micro air vehicles (MAVs), offering a scalable solution for future aerodynamic research.
