Designing and Developing Interaction techniques for webspaces in AR/VR

The objective of this project is to design and develop interaction techniques for Webspaces in Virtual/Augmented Reality. We will study and understand current techniques to interact with the websites via screens, how users access the information and media presented on the websites and the ways in which this presentation of information can be improved to […]

Visual Analytic Tool for Lessons Learned Retrieval and Decision Making

According to the World Petroleum Council (WPC), the average age of employees in Oil and Gas companies is 50 years, and it is estimated that in the next 5 years 40-60% of them will retire. One consequence of this age-related crisis is losing the accumulated knowledge by retiring “gray-beards”. In this scenario, new software technologies […]

Accelerating audio matching on multicore machines

The multiple audio sequences matching problem can be regarded as a pattern identification problem with inputs of multiple highly fragmented audio sequences. Singular Software develops a product which employs a model-based alignment algorithm to match audio sequences on a common time line to solve this problem. This product relies on computationally intensive mathematical operations such […]

Bounties in Open Source Software on GitHub

Due to the voluntary nature of the open source software, it can be hard to find a developer to work on a particular task. For example, some issue reports may be too cumbersome and unexciting for someone to volunteer to do them, yet these issue reports may be of high priority to the success of […]

Computatiol Investigation of Ni-Ceria Nanocatalysts to Produce Hydrogen in Aquaprocessing of Heavy Oil

The use of unconventional heavy oil, such as the bitumen derived from oil sands, has progressively increased, placing these materials as a compelling alternative to meet short- and long-term energy demands. Nevertheless, the current technologies available to exploit and upgrade this crude have critical challenges, such as high production costs, lower energy efficiency, and, even […]

Extended panel methods for computation of flows around solid objects for computer graphics applications

The proposed research aims to develop methods for efficiently computing visually realistic turbulent flows around solid objects for graphical applications in the film and video game industries. These methods would extend traditional techniques employed in aerodynamics to compute flows around airfoils. The extended method would address general solid objects in cases where the traditional techniques […]
