Archaeology of color in Central Argentine Patagonia. First archaeometric approach of pigment samples from SW Chubut

Studies carried out in SW Chubut have demonstrated the archaeological potential of this area of central Patagonia. This is not only due to its early dates (9,000 years BP for Casa de Piedra de Roselló, and 10,000 years BP for Alero Dasovich), but also to the value of sites and materials recovered. Particularly, pigments stand out because of its conspicuous presence in the area (there have been found remains of decorated leather blankets, rock art, painted lithic artifacts, colored animal bones and wood, and textiles). However, this materiality has not been analyzed, or has only been analyzed in its formal dimension. Thus, this project proposes an archaeometric approach of archaeological colors, with the aim of understanding its importance among hunter-gatherer societies who used them throughout the Holocene and its relations with other aspects of social life. The possibility of a research stay at Université Sherbrooke would enable the substantial advance of this research, allowing numerous physico-chemical analyses, as the proposed institution has the necessary equipment for meeting these objectives.

Next Generation Building Envelope Inspection using Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Building envelopes are essential for structural integrity, moisture control, and air management in a building. Damage to a building envelope could result in safety concerns for building occupants, reductions in operational efficiency, or ingress moisture leading to long-term degradation. This project is focused on the development of an autonomous building envelope inspection system using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and artificial intelligence. This work will include the conduct of field inspections using a UAV, development and application of novel autonomous UAV navigation techniques, and the use of machine learning algorithms for object detection and damage recognition. Outcomes of this work have the potential to improve the safety of building envelope inspections by eliminating the need for human inspectors to access roofs, improving the reliability of inspections by collecting quantitative building envelope performance data, and increase inspection efficiency using autonomously navigating robots, something that could also be used in post-disaster scenarios.

Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DfMA) for Architects with Industrial Robots

Robotics will transform the construction industry in the next decade, yet Canada is lagging in producing the highly qualified professionals needed to support that transformation. With a high percentage of the construction workforce retiring in the next five years, Canada must find ways to integrate robotics into the processes of design and fabrication of our built environment. This transformation cannot simply happen on the construction site, it must be integrated into how buildings are designed to take advantage of the opportunities that robotically assisted construction has to offer. This research project proposes that robotics has a vital role to play in the early design phases within the office of the architect, where knowledge of new construction processes will be integrated into the design of buildings. Moving beyond the design of form to include the design of processes, this research will investigate proto-processes using digital software, computer code and physical models to test processes at small scale, concepts which could easily be integrated into most architectural design offices to assist in transforming how we conceive of the process of building and design.

Géologie structurale, hydrothermalisme et minéralisation aurifère dans la région d’Eeyou-Istchee Baie James – le cas du secteur du lac Menarik

Ce projet de recherche sera effectué en collaboration entre l’UQAM, un partenaire industriel, Harfang Exploration, et le CONSOREM (Consortium de recherche en exploration minérale), afin de développer nos connaissances géologiques et métallogéniques d’Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, une région nordique et isolée du Québec. Cette région possède un important potentiel de développement minier, en particulier pour l’or, mais la connaissance limitée du territoire en termes de contexte géologique et de nature des minéralisations présentes, complexifie le ciblage des travaux d’exploration. Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre l’organisation structurale et statigraphique de certaines zones minéralisées connues sur la propriété d’Harfang Exploration (propriété Lac Menarik), et de documenter leurs caractéristiques minéralogiques en utilisant des outils analytiques de pointe en partenariat avec le CONSOREM. Ultimement, ce projet mènera à la création de modèles métallogéniques qui permettront un ciblage plus efficace de l’exploration minérale.

Optimization methodologies for Net-Zero Energy Communities

The future of energy supply in Ontario is uncertain. We are faced with an aging nuclear fleet and pressure to avoid future energy generation near communities. Building demands are a strain on energy supplies. A solution is to reduce building energy needs while providing sufficient distributed energy generation on a community-scale. A net-zero energy (NZE) community creates as much energy as it requires. The impetus behind this research is a community under development in London, ON, which aims to achieve NZE. This project involves several partnerships, under the management of the sponsoring organization S2E Technology.
S2E will sponsor me as a post-doctoral fellow at McMaster University. I am working on the economic and energy optimization of the buildings and district energy system design. The benefit to S2E will be a repeatable methodology to identify pathways to NZE community design in present and future communities.

A Community-Based Exploration of Frameworks for a Vibrant and Healthy Downtown Oshawa

The city of Oshawa has faced stigma related to challenges of vibrancy, safety, and cohesiveness, especially in its downtown core. There are a range of community development models that could aid in
thinking about how to build community in this context (‘health’, ‘happiness’, ‘resilience’, ‘inclusion’, etc.).
These models are valuable for inspiring ways of thinking about community building. However, for these frameworks to be useful they need to resonate with local stakeholders. The aim of this project is to help
the City of Oshawa to understand the community building models that resonate most with key stakeholder groups in the downtown Oshawa neighbourhood including residents, business owners, university students, and service providers.

Geo-Distributed Serverless Computing Systems

The proposed research project aims to address a limitation in serverless computing, which is a popular technology for building scalable applications in the cloud. Currently, serverless functions are restricted to run within a specific region, which can lead to performance and cost implications when dealing with external requests from different geographical locations. The project proposes the development of an orchestration system called Choreographer that will automatically distribute serverless applications across multiple regions based on factors such as client locations, application requirements, and cost considerations. The expected outcomes of this research include improved performance of serverless applications, reduced data movement, minimized costs, and simplified deployment for developers. The project will be implemented using Google Cloud services and the resulting framework will be open sourced. By addressing these challenges, the project contributes to enhancing user experience, increasing developer efficiency, and promoting innovation in the rapidly growing cloud computing market. Additionally, the project supports Canada’s strategic significance in the cloud computing domain and helps developers comply with data sovereignty and residency regulations.

Word Embeddings instead of One-hots: Using Transformers word embeddings to improve categorical feature encoding in financial fraud data

Detecting financial fraud is complex. One important source of information is textual data, such as the text within reports, descriptions, or comments. Two different words may have similar meanings but vary differently in their characters and length. In this project, we evaluate how the meaning of a word may be used to improve financial fraud detection models that leverage textual data.

Optimizing lighting strategies to improve the growth and productivity of Cannabis sativa

Cannabis is an important commercial plant with medicinal properties, but our insights on its biology are still in infancy. Light is one of the most important environmental parameters for plant growth, but how cannabis and cannabinoid accumulation respond to different wavelengths of light is not well understood. The objective of this study is to growth THC-rich cannabis plants under 6 different light spectra provided by high-efficiency LED lights. We will compare plant growth and development under these treatments, and determine the chemical composition of the inflorescences. Our study will provide recommendations on best practices when growing cannabis under LED lights and will benefit researchers, growers, and consumers alike.

Using insect-specific viruses to prevent the transmission of arthropod-borne viruses

There is an increased threat of disease caused by viruses transmitted by mosquitoes because of changes in climate and land use. In general, two types of viruses are found in mosquitoes: viruses transmitted to humans and
animals that can cause disease, like West Nile virus, and viruses that only infect the mosquito, called insect-specific viruses. Some insect-specific viruses may be beneficial because they can prevent mosquitoes from
transmitting viruses that cause disease. The proposed research aims to determine the effectiveness of insect-specific viruses at blocking harmful virus infection in mosquitoes, and to learn more about West Nile virus
infections in Canadian mosquitoes. These studies will support a new strategy to use insect-specific viruses to prevent mosquitoes from transmitting dangerous viruses and develop more tools for surveillance and prevention
of future outbreaks in Canada.

LignoForceTM lignin as a polyol replacement in PU foams for thermal insulation applications

Rigid polyurethane (PU) foams have traditionally been used in thermal insulation applications. These foams, however, are characterized by a high carbon footprint and high manufacturing costs since the two main reagents used to make such foams are petroleum based and quite expensive. Hence, the objective of this work is to reduce the carbon footprint and manufacturing costs of PU foams by as much as 30% and 25%, respectively, by partially replacing petroleum-based polyols used in the manufacture of such foams with lignin, a natural polyol, derived from the black liquor of kraft pulp mills.

Identification et gestion des risques liés à l’utilisation des données cadastrales en milieu municipal

Comme plusieurs municipalités, la Ville de Hampstead a mis à la disposition de ses employés un ensemble de jeux données géospatiales issus de producteurs différents avec des niveaux de qualité hétérogène. Le système inclut aussi les données issues du cadastre du Québec.
Les différents usagers de ce système d’information soulèvent des interrogations quant à la qualité des données géospatiales mises à leur disposition. Pour répondre à leurs interrogations, le projet de recherche viser à évaluer à la fois la qualité interne des données géospatiales (ex. : exactitude du positionnement) et leur qualité externe, soit les usages qui en sont faits.
Le projet de recherche permettra de déterminer (par échantillonnage) le degré d’exactitude des données géospatiales (qualité interne) et de documenter les différents cas d’utilisation (qualité externe). Les constats effectués permettront d’identifier les risques découlant d’usages inappropriés et de concevoir un guide d’utilisation adapté au contexte de la Ville.
