The Communicative Challenges and Implications of Quantum Computing Renewal

The industry partner1QBit has access to a processor that uses an adiabatic annealing technique to address a special class of optimization problems for initial application in finance. Optimization problems have a long and broad relevance to challenges faced in the financial sector. The prospect of quantum annealing as a way to innovate in solving finance optimization problems has been an area of growing interest, though limited in practice due to the lack of suitable analog hardware. 1QBit is bringing together a group of researchers from physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering and finance to investigate the prospect of quantum annealing in financial applications.
In this internship project, I will apply my research aims to trace the development of the diverse network that is being built to facilitate quantum computing, understand the communication challenges faced in interdisciplinary public-private technological production, and consider the implications posed by a quantum model of computing to theories of information and the material nature of communication.

Equity Audit of Canada’s International Co-Productions over the past 10 years

The objective for this research project is to support the future international success of the Canadian
racialized creatives in the screen industry. There is a lack of available research on content production
specifically targeting global audiences, and therefore there are significant gaps for development,
promotion and distribution of Canadian screen content that could be filled by the unique creative
storytelling of racialized content creatives in Canada. Through research of consumer preferences and
market intelligence RESO is setting out to elevate and develop targeted efforts for racialized Canadian
screen content producers, sales agents and distributors to boost global audiences’ engagement with
Canadian film, television and streaming content.
This research is essential to empower, inform, and grow the networks for racialized content creators.

Mémoire de recherche “Les verts au parlement”

En effet, cette recherche se veut une tentative d’analyse poussée des instruments politiques utilisés par le PVE pour faire avancer l’agenda politique et écologique européen. Qu’il s’agisse de la gestion de problèmes politiques, sociaux ou économiques, le but de ce mémoire est donc de rassembler toutes les données et informations connues afin d’obtenir une vision globale du parcours politique du PVE ainsi que des instruments qui lui ont permis de se positionner parmis les partis influents de l’Union Européenne. En posant ce type de question de recherche, je cherche à mieux comprendre l’agenda politique européen et les enjeux qui l’occupent afin de comprendre comment les partis écologistes et le PVE notamment, parviennent à mettre leurs préoccupations environnementales à l’ordre du jour ainsi qu’à s’assurer que celles-ci soient incluses dans les débats quotidiens au sein du parlement européen. Enfin, cette recherche permettra d’approfondir des concepts clés comme les rapports de force entre partis européens, les stratégies parlementaires ainsi que le rôle et l’importance d’un parti comme le PVE au sein d’une telle institution politique (UE).

Understanding the Indigenous School Attendance Gap: Perspectives from an Educational Program Supporting Inuit Youth

In Canada, First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students experience higher rates of absenteeism and lower rates of school success compared to non-FNMI students. However, little research has explored this issue from the perspective of FNMI communities. This study aims to conceptualize attendance and absenteeism among a group of urban Inuit students in Ottawa who attend a culturally responsive alternative learning program. In partnership with the program’s organization, we will be investigating the students and their parents understanding of attendance through sharing circle focus groups. General themes will be generated based on the conversations and experiences participants share. These findings will contribute to a greater understanding of the experience of school attendance among urban Inuit youth and can help guide strategies to engage and improve Inuit youths’ experiences at school.

Choosing the game and the stakes in a casino: A service pricing problem with many substitutable services

At any given time, a casino has to decide which table games to present to its customers and what betting limits to place on those tables. Understanding that a table games is a service and that the table limit is pricing, this is a classic service pricing problem. However, the number of tables and the fact that we can assign many different games to them leads to the novel research question: How do you which services to offer at what prices when customers have different preferences for each option? The resulting problem has the standard complications of a service problem with congestion but suffers from additional combinatorial challenges. The central goal of this project is to find efficient algorithms to answer this question.
