Nuera has been acquiring customers and data for the past 3 years and is launching an internal initiative to mine the data to find insurance claims trends. The objective of this initiative will consist of analysis and reporting on our data sets to find trends that lead to claims frequency and severity, in an effort […]

My main field of interest is environmental behavior, which deals with interrelations between physical environments and human behaviors regarding urban- and architectural safety planning. I am currently planning to conduct an experimental research on public safety issues (fire/escape, terror/crimes) in urban- and architectural environments utilizing Virtual Reality technologies, and although I have recently acquired fundamental […]

The aim of the project is to contribute to reshaping conceptual design by incorporating state-of-the-art design theories and model-based systems engineering. Concept design is the first phase of the design process, the time needed to make basic decisions that set the specifications for a proposed artifact and begin to determine its ultimate shape. To better […]

Quantum mechanics explains the behavior of particles in sub-atomic levels. A feature of quantum mechanics is that measurable properties of physical systems occur in complementary pairs : one can ‘know’ the value of only one of the paired properties at any point in time. For example, measuring the position observable changes the value of the […]

As in the classical case, quantum computers are modeled by circuits: that is, basic components connected by wires. Circuit models of computation are used for optimization, minimizing the cost of implementing quantum computers. There are various circuit models for quantum computing with different features. Models of quantum computation generally do not allow for information to […]

Manual contract analysis and management is a laborious task. dTrax is Deloitte’s managed solution to this problem—it uses machine learning to automate the arduous contract management process and help users gain further insight from contracts. Specifically, dTrax will be used to standardize the intake of legal contracts, generate and edit contracts within a web interface, […]

Understanding the 3D world around us is a key goal in computer science. If we are endowed with 3D understanding, we can solve problems in several areas in computer science such as robotics, fast 3D modelling and physical reasoning. However, it is not clear how 3D objects can be represented because of the high dimensionality […]

The current QR codes are all similar and there is no distinction between them. QR Artist is an application that creates artistic QR automatically and attracts more engagement by introducing art to the QR code design.

The lack of robust sound awareness in robotics and autonomous machines is a crucial limiting factor in their usefulness and adoption. Taking a biologically inspired approach offers novel computational mechanisms to solve a variety of challenges in this field. The primary objective of this proposal is to finalize and evaluate a Bayesian auditory artificial intelligence […]

IDENTOS and the University of Ottawa will collaborate in the research and development of cryptographic techniques for secure and privacy-respecting blockchain transactions. This project has research, design and implementation aspects. The project builds on the strengths of IDENTOS and The University of Ottawa in the areas of Mobile Security Privacy and Blockchain. The students will […]

Currently, the automotive industry is going through a very significant transformation—one that is blending cars with modern IT, involving technologies such as: multiple CPUs for in-car computing, ad-hoc networking and Internet connectivity, computer vision and sensing technologies, entertainment and artificial intelligence for automated driving and real-world congestion control. Connected and intelligence vehicles are also raising […]

The main aim of this project is to design a database that provides a simplified way for individuals without the technical background to query information from the database. Such a database will operate on natural language, where the user asks the database a question about information retrieval and it presents the user with suitable answers. […]
