The proposed research project, undertaken by the intern, is devoted to the modeling of currency trading markets and their derivatives in Markov-modulated environment and possible creation proprietary algorithm trading software for this case with EUR/USD as a trading model. The research covered by these activities will include the development of the domestic and foreign equity […]

The purpose of this project is to develop three predictive models for Temenos’ Customer Intelligence offering including: (1) Customer Attrition; (2) Loyalty Scoring; and, (3) Next Best Offer. Customer attrition, also called “churn”, or “defection”, is a major business issue for organizations to address. It is crucial to maintain and grow customer relationships in order […]

Older adults with frailty are at high-risk of declines in their health and do not bounce back as well as their non-frail counterparts. These patients are among the highest users of health care because they end up in crises and go to emergency, are hospitalized, or die. But, if frailty is detected and managed earlier, […]

The Energy potential of water has been successfully harnessed to produce electricity since the late 19th century. In 2018, hydropower production accounts for approximately 61 % of the total electricity produced in Canada. To exploit this source of energy, water is stored in dams and is strategically used based on hydrological cycles. Over the years, […]

Quantitative interpretation of magnetic data through inversion for general distributions of magnetic susceptibility has played an increasingly important role in mineral exploration in recent years. The goal of the proposed project is to develop efficient and robust computational simulation tools for the inversion of magnetization at a specified depth using ground/airborne magnetic data. A numerical […]

Teck Metals Ltd. operates one of the world’s largest integrated lead-zinc smelting operations based in Trail, British Columbia. An important part of Teck’s normal day-to-day operations is to carefully track and report on any pollutants generated on site that are released into the environment. The purpose of this internship is to assist their Company in […]

In mathematics, a group is a set (an accumulation of items) together with a certain operation. For example: the integers with addition, the symmetries of an equilateral triangle. Being one of the simplest algebraic structures, groups are ubiquitous in mathematics and have applications in other disciplines. Informally, a group is called profinite if it can […]

As financial networks grow limiting the spread of illicit funds becomes an increasingly important aspect of security. We model this spread within a network-like structure called a graph and examine how best to defend against the spread of these illicit funds. This problem has been examined in the past and we further that knowledge by […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]

Due to advanced modern technology for continuously measuring and recording data at multiple discrete locations and times, functional data are ubiquitous such as weather data and stock market data. Such kind of data usually has smoothness characteristics in the form of functions with complex structures and can be analyzed through many different techniques developed in […]

Increased stress, anxiety, and educational disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to the reality that many students are entering university-level Calculus with insufficient mathematical preparation and negative attitudes towards learning math. Researchers have also shown that students from traditionally underrepresented groups are at a particularly high-risk of STEM attrition related to these factors. […]
