Developing an AI-based modeling tool to support decision-making in iceberg tow management for the protection of subsea infrastructures

Icebergs pose serious risks to subsea infrastructures operating in the Arctic and Atlantic regions. They can damage pipelines, cables, and foundations by scraping the seabed or directly colliding with offshore structures like floating systems and platforms. To prevent such impacts, icebergs are towed away from the facilities using specialized vessels and equipment. However, this process […]

Computer-assisted cardiac disease diagnosissystem

With the advances of medical imaging, cardiac images have posed great challenges in processing and analysis due to the large amount of data generated. Dynamic Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, also referred to as 4D (3D+time) imaging, for example, have great capacity for screening, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiac diseases. […]

Modelling pollutant removal processes for an underground detention chamber system

This project will determine if underground detention systems provide an equivalent level of service for stormwater treatment as stormwater management ponds. This will be achieved through water quality measurements collected from a StormTrap system and through the development of a pollutant-transfer model. The intern will work with both the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and Con […]

Unobtrusive Monitoring of Heart Failure and its Effect on Ballistocardiograph

It is important that heart failure patients monitor their condition at home. We are exploring devices that can improve the self-monitoring required of patients and send this information back to their doctors. A technology that we are testing is ballistocardiography (BCG). BCG is a mechanical vibration generated by your heart and is recorded using a […]

Generative AI Enhanced Financial and Risk Analytics – Part 1

In this research project, we plan to explore potential uses of generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, to enhance financial modeling. Trusting financial advice from Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) models is a challenge due to model “hallucinations”, necessitating careful verification and validation of the output. Therefore, we plan to take an alternative approach. We would […]

Investigation of mean flow and turbulence around submerged spur dikes

Riverbank erosion is a major concern around the world, caused by high river floods. Occurrences of intense floods in rivers, attributed to climate change, such as the recent (July 2023) incidents of cloudbursts and accompanying riverbank washouts in several parts of northern (Himalayan) India provide glaring examples. Protection against riverbank erosion is, therefore, a formidable […]

Analysis of Fluid-Structure Interactions in Constricted Flow

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of the cardiovascular system that involves hardening of arteries due to the deposition of plaque [1]. Atherosclerotic lesions in different locations may lead to a variety of diseases such as Coronary Artery Disease, Cerebrovascular Accident and Peripheral Artery Occlusive Disease which should be detected at early stage [2, 3]. To […]
