Building Security Controls Catalogue for SMEs

Fraud prevention tools play a critical role in real estate transactions. Even though digital fraudsters employ all newly available tools to find loopholes in the existing technological ecosystem, the information systems involved in real estate transactions typically lag behind in terms of digital identity verification and management. In order to facilitate industry adoption of the novel fraud prevention tools, companies that are using such tools must be assured that adequate information security and privacy control mechanisms are embedded into them. The main objective of this research cooperation between Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) and Treefort Technologies is to define a catalog of the tools and techniques that can be used to ensure proper security baseline for the software tools that are used in the real estate transactions.

Assay development for point-of-care COVID-19 antibody detection

A key requirement for returning to societal and economic normality is the evaluation and surveillanceof SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunity. The proposed technologies described herein, enable a safe and effectivediagnostic test that can quickly provide an easily interpreted result for SARS-CoV-2 immunity, all without complicated equipment, expensive reagents, or high-level biosafety containment facilities. Such a system would allow for rapid testing in decentralized labs or at point-of-care providing quick data information on antibody responses produced by infection or vaccination. This data will be invaluable for assessing the most efficacious SARS-CoV-2 vaccine(s) for use in population-wide vaccination booster campaigns against currently circulating strains, and will also guide future public health mitigation strategies to reduce the spread of viral transmission.

This landmark project was built by Dr. Jessica Dolan with leadership at the Indigenous organization Plenty
Canada, and the Conservation Through Reconciliation Partnership team at University of Guelph. Working closely
in collaboration with Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg educators and culture-bearers, the team is combining
plant biology surveys in the Greenbelt region of Southern Ontario, with historical and contemporary linguistic
and cultural research on the ethnobotany of native plants, for food, medicine, craft and utility. The team is
creating a digital atlas of ethnobotanical surveys of the Greenbelt area, and writing a field guide to
Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg in Southern Ontario. The project includes significant Kanienke’ha and
Anishinaabemowin resources, to support linguistic revitalization in tandem with place-based learning. The goal
is to create rigorous work that is publicly accessible as tools for learning among youth and adults, alike, that will
aid in equitable collaborative relationships in environmental conservation and cultural revitalization.

Assessing Global Adoption of the Central Banking Digital Currency

Central Banking Digital Currency (CBDC) is a digitalized version of cash. It seeks to preserve all the properties and characteristics of the monetary unit, the most famous of which are: a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a unit of account.
Using machine learning techniques, the student will answer questions about how quickly it is possible to implement CBDC, whether it will be successful and predict the transition from a state of disinterest to the active use of this type of currency.
Identification of factors that can help in the implementation of the project, as well as the introduction and acceptance of Central Banking Digital Currency, in Canada, will be carried out. Drawing up recommendations that can be improved and considered at the state level, the project itself can contribute to the accelerated implementation of technology, as well as direct interaction with the state apparatus.

Automating Insider Threat monitoring and detection

Advanced persistent threat (APT) groups, as well as those sponsored by a nation-state, often aim to gain undetected access to a network and then remain silently persistent, establish a backdoor, and steal data, as opposed to causing damage. APT groups use different tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) at various stages of cyberattacks. The continuous and ongoing threats and attacks imposed by APT groups create a need for continual and collaborative assessments of defensive measures. So APTs drive the need for purple teaming. Purple teaming is a collaborative approach to cybersecurity that brings together Red and Blue teams to test and improve an organization’s security posture. By emulating adversaries’ tactics, the Red team makes the blue team better at defense. To create an optimized and continuous security workflow, the purple teaming processes must be automated. In the Red team phase, there are several tools that can be used to emulate attacks and its possible to interact with all parts of the tools through the core REST API to make the process automatic.

Développement du biocarbone pour des applications à haute température – QC-655

Le changement climatique représente l’un des plus grands défis auxquels nous devons faire face. Ce phénomène est causé par le réchauffement de la planète en conséquence des concentrations élevés des gaz à effet de serre (GES) dans l’atmosphère liée aux activités humaines telles que l’utilisation des combustibles fossiles dans le secteur industriel.
Les acteurs métalliques sont de plus en plus engagé à réduire leurs émissions de GES. Dans ce contexte, Elkem, un des fournisseurs mondiaux de métaux, souhaite remplacer le charbon fossile par du biocarbone, un produit obtenu par la pyrolyse de la biomasse forestière. Pour introduire le biocarbone dans le marché métallurgique comme alternative fiable et économique au charbon fossile, ses propriétés structurelles et mécaniques doivent être explorées et étudiées en profondeur. En effet, ce projet vise à étudier et optimiser les propriétés physico-chimiques du biocarbone afin d’améliorer sa réactivité dans les fournaises de ferrosilicium.

Modelling of Asset Health and Risk Matrix for Rotating Assets in Sawmill

Weyerhaeuser Drayton Valley Lumber Mill has employed continuous monitoring of vibration for all the critical rotating assets in the mill to detect failures in early stage and prevent failures. Continuous monitoring is achieved through sensors mounted on the equipment and each sensor collects real-time vibration data of the equipment. Real-time vibration data give an understanding of the condition/health of the rotating asset. If the asset’s vibration goes above a certain limit (typically the limits are called as “warning” or “alarm”), then maintenance actions are initiated to prevent the failure. To reduce the overall vibration and prevent failures, Weyerhaeuser wants to better use the asset’s vibration information to represent asset health as very healthy, healthy, approaching warning, warning, and alarm. In this project, interns will work on developing an Asset Health Model to classify the asset condition/health using vibration information and build a risk matrix to prioritize maintenance activities. This will help maintenance team at Weyerhaeuser to take the appropriate actions to prevent failures, run the mill reliably, and achieve planned production.
