The proposed work targets the development of a fiber optic hydrophone array for underwater acoustics detection and recognition, with the potential for applications in national defense. We propose a new concept of using a small-size low-cost fiber optic hydrophone that are nearly undetectable and can be deployed in a dense array across a wide area […]

The real-time monitoring of sea surface wind and wave information are crucial to the safety, performance and efficiency of various weather-sensitive on- and offshore operations, such as oil & gas platform drilling, port operations and offshore wind farming. This project plans to propose an accurate and robust method to estimate sea surface wind and wave […]

This project provides a software solution for detecting, classifying, and tracking moving sound sources underwater from the generated sounds. Generally, monitoring shipping traffic largely rely on the automatic identification systems (AIS) installed on the vessels. The ability to track these vessels is at the mercy of the functionality of the transponders onboard the vessels and […]

Skill is an open-source standard format for resume writing that is optimized to be processed by AI systems. It can remove the hassle and stress of fully expressing themselves from job seekers and eliminate the hassle of finding the best candidate from employers. As AI systems grow more popularity in different fields, Skill will provide […]

Precision agriculture is the technique to replace traditional farming methods to sustainably improve crop productivity and ensure food security without adversely impacting the environment. Pure Roots Holdings Canada Inc. is managing an ecosystem that encapsulates 0.4 acres of the effective farming area into a modular grow room called AeroPod. AeroPod provides an automated, modular, mobile, […]

A significant portion of decision making, path planning and navigation algorithms for Autonomous Vehicles (AV) rely heavily on accurate estimation of the current location as well as future trajectories of the surrounding road users. There are different kinds of drivers in urban environments, and an expert human driver will identify dangerous drivers and avoid them […]

The impact of attacks on Internet of Things (IoT) embedded devices range from threatening lives, such as attacks on wearable/implantable health devices, to threatening infrastructures in financial, transportation, and other sectors. In the IoT realm, hardware is distributed and embedded in our environment and must be hardened against malicious intentional and unintentional attack. Despite advances […]

This research project will be a collaborative effort to explore, understand, and capitalize on the growing market shift from Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductors (LDMOS) to Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based radio units in the base station market, which is ever-growing with the increased demand for 5G. The intern will be trained on simulation, measurement, design, and […]

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a condition 1 in every 10 women is diagnosed with. The current non-surgical treatment for POP is an intravaginal device called pessary which has a 40% failure rate as its shape is not fitted to the female anatomy. Poor pessary design and performance arises from the limited data that is […]

The proposed research will develop novel distributed machine learning techniques for stable resource allocation and improving traffic estimation in networks. It is a well-known fact that networks are becoming complex and user demand is growing in many directions including the traditional demand for capacity and less delay, as well as improvements in Quality of Experience […]

In the era of big data, internet of things and cloud computing, the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth density causes a bottleneck in inter and intra-datacenter communication systems. Optical integrated circuits based on the silicon-on-insulator platform is a well-known solution to overcome the bottleneck in data rate transmission. It is an interesting platform as it can […]
