Developing a Universal Design Strategy to Promote Equity in Employing People with Speech Disabilities

People with disabilities face many barriers to employment. The employment rate of Canadians with disabilities was 49% in 2011, compared with 79% for individuals without a disability. People with communication disabilities face employment rates as low as 14% (McNaughton, 2002), leaving this segment of Canadian society financially dependent, socially isolated, and personally unfulfilled. We seek to develop a universally designed framework to enhance recruiting, hiring and retaining persons with communication disabilities to promote equal access to employment for these individuals. The Six Sigma engineering process DMADV (Define-Measure-Analyze-Design-Verify) is being used to develop this framework for employers. Developing a universal design framework to promote equity in employing people with communication disabilities will socially connect this otherwise isolated population, provide personal fulfillment, increase financial independence, and, hence, improve overall quality of life.

Automated Speed Enforcement Deployment and Planning

This project investigates the deployment and operation of automated speed enforcement (ASE) as an emerging enforcement technology in the City of Vaughan, which uses cameras to detect speeding at select locations. The complexities of deployment lie in choosing camera locations with the highest deterrence impact on speeding and the periodic relocation of the cameras, which is standard industry practice to reduce over-familiarization of drivers with camera locations. The objectives of this study are to: 1- analyze traffic accident and speeding violations data to select potential locations for the deployment of cameras, 2- optimize a plan for relocating speed cameras at specific cycles, and 3- develop interactive visualization tools to present the impact ASE on speeding violations in the City of Vaughan.

Development of Alternative Tensile Test for Characterization of UHPFRC

In recent years, ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has gained ground in bridge construction and infrastructure. The tensile behaviour of UHPFRC that effectively limits crack propagation and minimizes the width of cracks, resulting in enhancement of the structure’s strength and durability is of utmost interest. However, the fast, easy, and reliable characterization of this property remains a challenge in codes and standards around the world. Direct tension tests require specialized gripping devices not available in most of the commercial testing labs and are generally difficult to conduct. The alternative flexural tests are fraught with uncertainties; to extract the fundamental stress-strain response of the material in tension, it is necessary to use poorly correlated inverse analysis procedures that have been shown to lack accuracy based on oversimplified assumptions or are extremely difficult to conduct and require highly specialized personnel. To eliminate the above challenges related to both test options, the proposed research targets to the development of an alternative, easy to conduct test method that could be used both for characterization and quality control of the tensile properties of UHPFRC, while facilitating the use of the standard testing equipment available in most commercial testing laboratories –

Advances in Computer Algebra and Analysis

Computer Algebra Systems (CAS), with their unique ability to analyze and solve mathematical problems, are gathering new communities of users, who challenge those software systems with more and more complex tasks. It is necessary, therefore, that the core engines of CAS to implement stateof- the-art algorithms. This proposal capitalizes on the research conducted by academic partners at the University of Western Ontario in order to strengthen and extend the technology of their industrial partner, MAPLESOFT, the developers of MAPLE, one of the leading CAS world-wide.

Machine learning tools for rapid pricing of exotic equity products

Exotic derivatives of various kinds contribute significantly to the risk exposure that must be managed by banks. In order to be competitive, banks need to assess their risk exposure frequently, and make necessary adjustments to their positions. Assessing risk exposure involves computing valuations of all the assets in their investment portfolio, along with their sensitivities. When closed-form formulae are available, this can be done rapidly. However, no such formulae are available for exotic products, therefore various computationally demanding numerical methods must be used.
The goal of this project is to develop a machine learning (neural network) model that can replicate the valuations produced by BMO’s existing computational methodologies, given any feasible set of input parameters. Once trained, such a network will be able to generate its output rapidly. The challenge is in the training, since the space of input parameters is extremely high dimensional.

Novel anti-Helicobacter pylori agents from lactic acid bacteria

Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizes chronically ~50% of the world’s population, causing gastric tissue inflammation and gastric ulcers or cancers. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have probiotic effects against HP, meaning that they help alleviate symptoms. We found that 5 LAB provided by partner Lallemand Health Solutions (LHS) produce and release molecules that inhibit the growth of HP and abrogate features essential for gastric colonization by HP. The LAB secretions also decrease HP’s ability to cause inflammation in human gastric cells. We aim at characterizing the active molecules to develop them into therapeutic agents and validate the applicability of LAB as probiotics with anti-HP effects. We also aim at understanding the mechanisms of action involved by assessing which HP genes are affected by the interaction. This work will eventually benefit ~6 million new gastric ulcers or cancers patients per year worldwide and will alleviate the economic burden of health care costs associated with these diseases.

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).
