Radar Localization and Integration for Future Autonomous Car Navigation

The purpose of this project is to offer low-cost navigation solutions for autonomous vehicles based on automotive radars that can work efficiently in all weather conditions and degraded vision environments. Radar will be utilized to estimate the vehicle’s relative position. The radar solution will be integrated with the inertial navigation system (INS) solution to limit inertial sensors’ drifts, enhance navigation accuracy, and compensate for GNSS signal outages. Different algorithms will be applied in that project to fulfill the required goal. The expected benefits to Profound Positioning Inc. (PPI) through my internship can be substantial and multifaceted, primarily driven by my extensive expertise in navigation systems, sensor fusion, and autonomous technologies. My strong academic background and research experience in Geomatics Engineering, particularly in inertial sensor navigation, radar applications, and sensor fusion, will give the company significant technical knowledge and a unique perspective in developing advanced navigation solutions. The research will provide Profound Positioning Inc. with the expertise to design a low-cost dead-reckoning navigation system that promises high performance, integrating quite well with its products. Moreover, the proposed research could further strengthen Profound Positioning Inc. substantially, performing products designed to perform navigation in harsh environments and degraded or denied GNSS environments.

Caractérisation de pegmatites lithinifères interplutoniques

Le lithium fait partie des minéraux critiques (MC) identifiés par le Canada. De nombreux gîtes lithinifères ont été répertoriés au Québec et ils sont tous associés à des pegmatites à spodumène encaissées dans des roches volcano-sédimentaires moyennement métamorphisées. Dans le modèle généralement accepté ces pegmatites représentent des phases magmatiques tardives résiduelles spatialement associées à un granite source. Ainsi un des guides utilisés pour l’exploration minière est de rechercher des pegmatites en bordure de plutons peralumineux qui montrent des caractéristiques de pegmatites très différenciées. Cependant dans le secteur de l’Abitibi on note deux pegmatites lithinifères qui présentent un contexte, une minéralogie et une chimie distincts des gisements de lithium documentés. Ces deux pegmatites montrent une incompatibilité avec le modèle généralement accepté de granite source et pourrait donc supporter le modèle de fusion partielle localisée de roches sédimentaires. Le projet de recherche Globalink propose de caractériser la minéralogie et la géochimie de ces deux minéralisations de lithium afin de documenter ce type de minéralisation qui est distinct de ce qui est généralement trouvé ailleurs. Ce projet proposera ainsi un modèle d’exploration pour inclure l’intérieur des granites peralumineux et présentera de nouveaux paramètres d’exploration pour ces pegmatites lithinifères interplutoniques.

Use of a supersonic fluidic oscillator to generate pressure pulses in a single chamber superplastic forming process

The superplastic metal blow forming process involves using air pressure to force a metal sheet at very high temperatures into the shape of a die for the purpose of manufacturing a component part. It has been shown that by subjecting the forming pressure to small pulsations within a range of amplitude and frequency, results in the creation of a superior part in less time. Symmetrical supersonic fluidic oscillators are capable of reliably producing these pressure pulsations at the very high temperatures experienced in the process while conventional fluid valves fail. These devices, however, require the simultaneous production of two identical parts which restricts the application of the technique to smaller part sizes. This project involves the design, construction, and performance evaluation of a particular non-symmetrical supersonic fluidic oscillator capable of producing single parts. This allows a wider range of application for the method and hence a larger market for the industrial partner.

Evaluation of a Multimodal Episodic Treatment Center for Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivors

Survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) have an increased risk for a number of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse, among others. Treating CSA survivors as close to their abuse as possible is key to effectively treating a survivor and can minimize or prevent the long-term impacts. Currently, there is a lack of rigorous research investigating the best treatment options for CSA survivors. Early evidence suggests that intensive treatment programs that combine a number of different types of therapy (i.e., multimodal therapy) may provide widespread improvements in survivors. However, the existing literature is preliminary in nature and requires further investigation. The aim of this research is to evaluate, inform, and improve a multimodal treatment center specifically designed for youth survivors of CSA. In doing so, this research aims to inform clinicians and policymakers on best-practice treatment approaches for these populations.

Evaluating the viability of electroanaesthesia and chemical anaesthetic options in juvenile lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens)

All five sturgeon species in Canada are considered at-risk. Conservation research on sturgeons often involves
capturing wild sturgeon and performing procedures like tagging surgeries, so we can better understand their
ecology in waters that are often impacted by human activities. In this project, we will work with our partner
organisation, BC Hydro, to try to find the best method of anaesthetising or immobilising sturgeons for short-term
surgeries. Most options explored to date are challenging to use in the field. By evaluating the effects of several
different chemical anaesthetics and non-chemical alternatives such as electrical immobilisation on physiological
and behavioural changes in lake sturgeon and white sturgeon, we can see which methods are more or less
stressful to the fish. Our results will inform best handling and anaesthesia practices in sturgeon research, like that
conducted by BC Hydro as they spearhead wild sturgeon conservation work in British Columbia.

Asset-Based Community Enterprise Development in Bolivia Year Two

This cross-sectoral research project will track the process of supporting four nascent community-based enterprises (CBEs) in indigenous communities in the Bolivian highlands, examining the complex interaction of factors that contribute to successful CBEs. The four cases will provide a test of an innovative “Community-Based Enterprise Development Model” (CBED Model) as a method to facilitate and generate self-defined, community-led sustainable development with indigenous peoples that can be applied in Bolivia, other Andean countries, and potentially with immigrant or First Nations populations in Canada. The Canadian industry partner is seeking to support sustainable community development initiatives with marginalized populations as part of their emerging corporate social responsibility strategy. This research will allow them to assess the potential impact of the CBED Model with a minimal initial investment, before moving forward to funding and supporting this model on a wider scale.

Détection d’objets dans des images grand-angle

La detection d’objets est une tache complexe en vision par ordinateur car elle vise a la fois a etablir la localisation et la classification d’objets dans une image. Cette tache devient plus difficile lorsqu’elle est etudiee sur des images capturees par des cameras munies de lentilles « grand-angle ». Ces lentilles offrent des champs de vue significativement plus grands qu’une lentille conventionnelle, mais causent des distorsions severes dans les images, ce qui peut confondre les algorithmes de detection. En fait, en plus de la prediction des cadres de delimitation (en anglais, bounding box) et des categories d’objets, les modeles doivent desormais egalement etre robustes a la distorsion radiale importante. En raison de sa complexite par rapport aux progres realises dans la detection d’objets conventionnelle, la detection d’objets sur des images grand-angle est encore embryonnaire. Ainsi, nous consacrons ce travail a etudier l’applicabilite de Darswin, un reseau de neurones profond developpe par l’equipe de recherche du chercheur principal et base sur !’architecture Swin mais qui s’adapte a la distorsion, a un modele de detection de type DETR.
En pratique, ii existe une grande diversite de lentilles grand-angle.

Le coaching est une activité par excellence pour les gestionnaires désireux de développer des nouvelles
compétences ou savoir-être. Or, malgré ses retombées généralement très grandes, le coaching managérial gagne
en popularité, mais reste encore dédié à une poignée d’élus. Or, les avancées de l’intelligence artificielle
pourraient permettre de démocratiser l’accès au coaching et ainsi d’en faire bénéficier les professionnels de tous
types d’organisation. Le projet vise à étudier les impacts et le succès d’une des premières applications d’IA
destinée à faciliter le coaching managérial.

Evaluation of a Photocatalytic Membrane Reactor for Treatment of Steroid Hormones

The presence of steroid hormones in the environment is an emerging global issue. Steroid estrogens are of particular concern due to their toxicity to humans and aquatic life at low (ng/L) concentrations and their considerable presence in human waste streams. Standard treatment processes in municipal treatment plants often do not completely degrade estrogenic compounds, and thus estrogens may be released into the environment through effluent discharge. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have shown promise in mitigating these compounds. In particular, photocatalytic membrane treatment methods may offer advantages over traditional treatment technologies, specifically in their energy efficiency, due to lower pressure requirements. The Institute for Advanced Membrane Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has demonstrated the effective use of photocatalytic membrane reactors for treating estrogens and other micropollutants. This project will build on previous work by assessing the impact of natural organic matter and real-water matrices on micropollutant (17beta-estradiol, estrone, testosterone and progesterone) degradation as well as assessing the toxicity and estrogenicity of treated water. The results will contribute to knowledge on advanced membrane treatment processes and help inform users looking to target persistent organic pollutants. This work will greatly assist novel material development and membrane treatment knowledge at Dalhousie University.

Identifying Habitat Factors Affecting Fisher Reproductive Output And Diet In Southcentral BC

Fishers in central British Columbia (BC) have not been thoroughly studied and there are many gaps in our understanding. This project aims to fill two important knowledge gaps that affect the reproduction and survival within the endangered Columbian population of fishers in central BC: habitat and diet. Prey, diet, and reproductive data will be compared to other areas within
the range of the Columbian population of fishers. Intern #1’s project will focus more on reproduction, while intern #2 will be looking into diet. Using radiotelemetry, they will track fishers in the Cariboo region to better understand habitat and space use
of tagged individuals within their home ranges. The benefits to the WLRS partner are to gain region-specific knowledge of fisher populations in the interior ecosystems in the Cariboo which will help inform future management decisions for the species.
Consus will benefit from the project by having their biologist, Rory Fogarty, more thoroughly understand this threatened species
in the region where their business is based to help facilitate future studies on fishers in the central interior.
