Development of a Novel Pressure-Sensitive Mat Using Proximity Sensors

Abstract

I would like to thank my wife, Eli Angela Dalla Valle, for all the support and patience throughout my master's study. Without her unconditional help and support it would not be possible to even start this important step in my career. Special thanks to Dr. James R. Green, who guided me through the program and provided all the important insights for the master's program and also during my stay at Carleton University. The support in our meetings and by email was essential to the advancement of this research. Finally, thank you for considering international students and for fighting for their academic successes. Special thanks to Dr. Rafik Goubran, who guided me into the research world and provided opportunities to work with world-class research agencies such as AgeWell. Also for guiding me throughout the courses and challenges of the academic life, giving me support and advising me on the path of knowledge.
