Global Cybersecurity Standards Review

This research project will assess, and compare cybersecurity frameworks currently in place for critical infrastructure protection in Internet of things (IoT), Operational Technology (OT) and 5G to determine what the recommended policies are for critical infrastructure protection today for IoT, OT and 5G, and if there is already a
currently used framework that supports all best practices or are there gaps that need to be addressed. This research objective will stive to determine what the ‘gold standard’ should be for critical infrastructure protection control frameworks. We aim to create harmonization in this field with a recommended policy for all
sectors of critical infrastructure to follow and provide Government and Industry regulators the data they require to make informed decisions on regulatory requirements and standards

Imagination Audit Project

The Laboratory for Artistic Intelligence brings artists and artistic methods into parts of society where more imagination and creative approaches are needed. Chief Artistic Officer Helen Yung has a track record of introducing new ways of thinking about policy development in order to by-pass flawed assumptions and build effective solutions. During subsequent conversations with a stakeholder from the Office of the Privvy Council, the idea of The Imagination Audit emerged. It is a process by which abductive reasoning and divergent thinking—the consideration of possibilities—and the creative process are married together to generate insight and innovation within an organization or team. While the LAI has already validated the benefits of engaging in this process through pilot programs, two fundamental challenges remain. The first is to determine ideal participants for this process, and to further identify and articulate the value those participants would derive from it. The second is to continue to develop the form and deployment of the Imagination Audit to improve both access and adoption. Together, these are the “R&D” of the Laboratory for Artistic Intelligence. Expected deliverables include the articulation of a classic marketing mix—product, price, promotion and delivery model—as well as an actionable prospect list.

Development and Validation of Employee Pulse Surveys

Pulse surveys are effective tools to improve how organizations function by measuring the real time response of employees on a periodic basis. The current project aims to develop
a series of pulse surveys that measure the following concepts: team alignment, job satisfaction, employee engagement, and wellness. These concepts were picked because of their connection to organizational success. The results of this study will provide the partner organization, Quilt, a series of effective pulse surveys that will be integrated into their software application. Organizations can use the application to obtain a snapshot of their employees experience at work and gain insight on which areas need improvement.

Understanding the contribution of humalite for soil health and crop production

Humalite is a naturally occurring organic substance containing high concentrations of humic acid. Humic-based substances are well known for improving the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. Therefore, humalite may be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly soil amendment with a wide variety of end uses. Large deposits of humalite were found in Southern Central Alberta that may have great potential to commercialize for improving soil health and sustainable agricultural production. We partner with the Prairie Mines & Royalty ULC to evaluate potential benefits of humalite for 1) improving soil nutrient availability and plant nutrient uptake, 2) improving soil microbial population and diversity, 3) improving plant growth, yield, and nutritional quality, 4) improving symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legume crops, and 5) alleviating drought stress on crop production. We expect to develop humalite-based marketable products for the diverse agricultural industries, which are economical and environmentally friendly to the end users.

Extracting information from Emails

The project will attempt to extract useful information from emails as well as attempt to classify emails as meeting intent or not. The proposed project deals with attempting to leverage current machine learning and natural language processing techniques to build a prototype that can solve the above problems. This will benefit the company by not having to use manual solutions. Currently the company uses the mechanical turk which requires actual humans extracting information from the emails. The prototype would eliminate the need for this and reduce their costs.

Practical Methods for Efficient Estimation of Effective Thermal Resistance of Exterior Walls

The proposed project is focused on developing practical methods to quickly and accurately estimate the effective thermal resistances (R-value) of different masonry wall systems. The R-values of various walls are needed by the internship partner and its member organizations for showing that their wall designs comply with the new building codes. To develop the practical methods and to deliver the currently needed R-values to the internship partner, the interns will estimate the R-values of various walls using a commercial software and measure some of the R-values using scientific apparatuses. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop innovative tools (e.g., the practical methods and its graphical user interface) and provide intuitive guidelines that are universal, easy to use, and cost-free for the internship partner and the building industry. These outputs will increase the productivity in the design phase, and thus lowering the cost of masonry wall design and enhance the business competency of the masonry industry.

Intégration de données numériques lifestyle pour la prédiction comportementale

Le projet de recherche consiste en une exploration des données lifestyle dans l’optique de prédire
différents comportements. Les données sur le mode de vie génèrent des informations permettant d’en
savoir plus sur les citoyens. Des liens ont notamment été établis entre la consommation de latte et le vote
libéral ou encore entre le style vestimentaire et la consommation culturelle. Par une collaboration avec
Synopsis, ces données pourront être exploitées avec des méthodes d’analyse les plus actuelles en
sciences sociales numériques. L’analyse sera effectuée en deux temps. D’abord une analyse permettant
de regrouper des réponses selon leurs caractéristiques communes sera effectuée sur des données liées
au lifestyle. La deuxième approche utilisera des données collectées par Synopsis lors d’un devis
expérimental afin de comparer l’effet des actions de politiciens sur les répondants en contrôlant avec la
segmentation identifiée en phase 1.

Replacing Legacy Materials of Aquatic Play Structures with Flexible, Durable and Low-Footprint Alternatives

The advancement in flexible high-performance plastics has stimulated worldwide research and development to expand the use of these materials in versatile products. In particular, their flexibility offers more comfort and ease of handling and installation, as compared to alternative hard materials. On the other hand, rising global concerns over plastic pollution, along with known chemical and additive migration from polymers, require a more holistic approach to material selection tasks towards next-generation plastic products in a way that environmental impact and end of life management factors are also taken into account. In collaboration with the Waterplay Solutions Corp., a BC-based leading manufacturer of aquatic play structures used in amusement and water parks, this project aims to systemically select and evaluate new flexible high-performance plastic material options that can replace the fibreglass composite material currently used in the aquatic play structures. The desired material solution must meet (or exceed) all in-situ functional requirements of current product (e.g. load capacity), environmental durability (UV, oxygen, water/chlorine exposure), bio-safety (ensuring limited growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi).

SafePath User Interface Development

Sidewalks, pathways and bike lanes are a vital part of cities, they act as conduits for pedestrian movement and access, they enhance connectivity and encourage non-personal vehicle transportion. Having safe, accessible and proper sidewalk and bike lane maintenance is a fundamental necessity for cities to enhance their citizens public health, happiness and maximize their social capital. Many obstructions, hazards and safety issues regarding sidewalks are unpreventable and, on occasion, necessary for city development. The major culprits for sidewalk inaccessibility and safety issues arise from three general categories: construction, environmental hazards and safety adverse areas.
Pedestrians with mobility and vision issues face these obstruction and safety issues head on putting their lives in danger and deal with unsafe wayfaring. Inaccessible and hazardous sidewalks are a top problem for pedestrians with accessibility needs. Without knowing what sidewalks are safe and hazard free it is difficult to decide what the optimal route is to take or when it is safe to use sidewalks, pathways and bike lanes.

Computer Application to Assess the Reliability of Existing Structures using Adaptive Kriging

A major challenge involved in assessing the reliability of degrading structures relates to the extraordinary computational cost required to conduct the reliability simulation considering the spatial variability of the structural degradation process (such as damage due to mechanical and environmental effects). The objective of this research is to develop a user-friendly computer application using an innovative mathematical procedure to conduct structural reliability simulation for complex structural configurations subjected to severe deterioration efficiently. The computer application will be employed to assess reliability of degraded structures in real-life engineering projects.

Structured Assets’ Value-at-Risk: Measurement and Sensitivity Testing

This project aims to measure the credit risk of Sun Life structured assets portfolio. The objective is to evaluate the accuracy of different methods to assess the credit risk of these types of financial instruments and to evaluate their advantages and limitations. Two methods are proposed to assess structured finance assets risk: Loan Equivalent Approach and Look Through Approach. The former is a practical representation of the structured asset as a traditional debt instrument. The problematic is to test and understand to which extent this representation could diverge from the risk profile of the structured financial asset. A second objective is to implement the chosen model – through identifying the required parameters, assumptions, data and process – and integrate it into the company credit risk framework and insure its reliability and accuracy. By the end of the project/internship, we expect to have in place a fully operational model and procedure to measure securitized assets credit risk
