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.

Using multi-modal data and self-supervised approaches for machine learning in healthcare

This research project aims to address the growing interest in predicting clinical outcomes using machine learning
(ML) approaches applied to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data. The primary objective of this study is to
develop representations of both EMR and text data found in medical notes using current state-of-the-art ML
techniques. In particular, this research proposes to leverage self-supervised learning techniques to learn dynamic
representations. By doing so, the research aims to improve the prediction of clinical outcomes. Upon successful
completion, the machine learning models will effectively assist clinical decisions, which will benefit both the
company and the Canadian healthcare community.

Evaluating self-efficacy and performance outcomes in an elementary school mentoring program

This project will evaluate an elementary school mentoring program, the Learning Buddies Network (LBN), which targets challenged students in reading and math, in terms of its outcomes in respect to the mentee’s self-efficacy beliefs and performance. The intern will consult with senior staff members of the LBN organization to identify improvements and extensions to the existing program evaluation tools and he will develop additional instruments to perform the evaluation. The outcomes of the project will include an assessment of the program outcomes during a three-month period of the mentoring program implementation, evaluation of the pairing procedures between mentors and mentees and suggestions on how these outcomes may be further improved in the future, regarding mentor training, type of mentoring (face to face or remote), and methods / strategies implemented. The resulted conclusions will be the basis for further evaluation of the program in the future, iterating additional expansions, improvements, and updates.
