This project’s objective is to create a proprietary digital platform which will allow for a faster, more accurate diagnosis of a building’s indoor environmental quality (IEQ) – at a fraction of the cost of today’s industry testing rates. The project aims to ensure that data being collected can be properly categorized and analyzed, creating a […]

The goal of this project is to investigate fraud detection methods for micro-donation processing platforms. Fraud detection is a popular topic in both industry and academia, but usually in the context of payment processing. Through this research we aim to develop a practical, scalable and robust fraud detection system for the specific use-case of micro-donation […]

In this project, a model interpreted by a differential equation system is developed to study two-innovation diffusion. We will examine stability, developing tendency, distribution, bifurcation and other properties of the system depending on different model parameters. We will also investigate the corresponding discrete forms of the system and compare the obtained results. Both approaches of […]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a 3rd leading cause of death (1) which decreases lung function due to irreversible airway obstruction. The main indicator of the progression of COPD is a rate of the forced expiratory volume of 1 second (FEV1) decline. The intern will build the prediction model for the slope of FEV1 […]

We will design and build a software suite for producing 36-hour forecasts of water flow rates and turbidity (cloudiness) at any point along the channels of the Upper Yellowstone River Watershed (UYRW). This forecasting system will respond to real-time sources of information on weather and upstream sensor readings, and will be designed for continual updates […]

Canada ambitions to achieve a deep decarbonization of its economy by 2050, with a reduction of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions up to 90% relative to their 2005 levels. Such a transition from the current situation will have important impacts in particular on its energy sector. In this context, SIEMENS Canada, a manufacturer of energy […]

In the context of the “Smart Grid”, the exploitation of electricity consumption flexibilities will be a key lever in the optimization of the electric system. It can help to limit power demand peaks, increase the share of renewable energy and limit network infrastructure investments. Consumption flexibilities, which are offered by many residential consumers, are distributed […]

In Canada and around the world, investors hire financial advisors and dealers to manage, monitor, and guide their investment choices purchased from a financial dealer. Dealers and advisors are obligated by regulations–introduced in 2009 by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC)–to ensure that their investment products and recommendations are “suitable”.
