The market share of online advertising, also known as Internet advertising, has been increasing dramatically in recent years. On the other hand, malicious behaviors, such as click fraud, have degraded the effectiveness of online advertising. Via fraud clicks, a considerable amount of revenues have been lost to fraud conductors. For instance, based on a report […]

When engineers verify software products they need at the same time some guidance as to verification objectives and an idea of when it is reasonable to stop the verification activity. One such guidance comes under the form of criteria which are predominantly functional (typically, one exercises the software in ways it is expected to be […]

The project aims to research the feasibility of designing and building a drone from parts supplied in Canada. The first objective is to build a prototype of a made-in-Canada drone that showcases current technology and incorporates the highest proportion possible of parts from Canada. The second objective is to design a manufacturing process that can […]

Heavy-lift drones offer promising solutions for challenges in wildfire response, construction, and logistics, thanks to their rapid deployment and lower environmental impact. As Pulshn focuses on developing drones capable of transporting heavy payloads, this research aims to support the optimization of drone design for enhanced performance and reliability. Specifically, the study will explore the aerodynamic […]

The successful integration of tailings deposits into existing landforms requires knowledge on how much they will compress and release water under load over time. Typically this is characterized using laboratory based methods, but these tests on small samples cannot capture the behaviour of a full scale deposit. This project will develops a method to use […]

To quantitatively assess the security level of a cloud environment, a common method is to construct an attack graph which tracks a potentail attacker’s moves through interconnected computing systems by exploiting vulnerabilities of each system, one after another. The state-of-the-art automatic attack graph generation suffers from two limitations: 1) low quality or inconsistency of vulnerability […]

This project provides a space for Inuk participants (community members) in Nunavut to discuss appropriate methods for conducting research related to healing in their community. Methods for data collection and collaborative data analysis will be determined in collaboration with the community partner as prescribed by the Aajiqaitigiingniq Research Methodology. This methodology outlines an Inuit-defined approach […]

Recreational fishing is a popular activity worldwide that contributes an estimated $190B USD in expenditures to the global economy each year. Contrasting the economic benefits of the activity is an array of ecological and biological impacts. Catch-and-release fishing, the act of returning a fish to water (presumably unharmed) after landing, has become an increasingly popular […]

Almost half of the languages spoken in the world today are in danger of disappearing, and the human and financial resources devoted to the documentation and revitalization of vulnerable languages are nowhere near enough to meet the need. In contrast, English is a required subject worldwide and English Language Teaching (ELT) is a multi-billion-dollar industry. […]

This project will integrate an advanced analytical technique (i.e., Raman spectroscopy) and machine learning to help the partner organization monitor key cell growth parameters, streamline experimental design, accelerate culture media optimization, and ensure the consistency of media and product quality. These advanced analytical tools and workflows will allow the partner organization to improve the efficiency […]

This project explores how AI can create expressive, stylized portraits while keeping a person’s identity and emotions intact. By developing advanced AI models, it will help artists, enhance digital content creation, and support industries like entertainment, advertising, and cultural heritage. The technology can be used in museums for interactive exhibits, in film and gaming for […]

Shopify provides a platform for merchants to sell their products online. Shopify merchants typically face various common concerns at different phases of their development, such as uploading their product descriptions, marketing their shop, increasing their sales, etc. The goal of this project is to build a software system to identify which problems the merchant is […]
