Municipal beach managers across Canada face an impossible dilemma every summer: close beaches preventively and lose tourism revenue, or risk exposing swimmers to dangerous sewage contamination from aging infrastructure that overflows during heavy rainfall. Current water testing takes 24-48 hours and measures bacteria that poorly indicate actual health risks from viruses, forcing managers to make […]

Per clinical guidelines, patients with Type 2 diabetes and certain co-morbidities should initiate modern glucose-controlling therapies that also reduce the risk of cardiovascular and renal adverse events, such as GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i medications. But many indicated patients have not initiated these therapies, in part because some primary care doctors are uncomfortable with the complex […]

The research problem is to model the deterioration of conductors and to predict their service life as a function of exposure to humidity, chlorides and SO2. The model will be validated by analyzing 300 sites with data on the residual thickness of zinc. A feature-dependent Markov model will be fitted to estimate the residual life […]

This project aims to help humans better understand their dogs by using artificial intelligence. Over four months, interns will develop AI models that can recognize dog behaviors—such as sitting, lying down, or showing signs of pain—by analyzing video, sound, and movement data collected from cameras or wearable devices. The research also includes developing tools to […]

In accordance with the Digital Policy Hub research foci on artificial intelligence, as well as digitization, security and democracy, the underlying purpose of the project is to research the limitations of language translation technologies in order to suggest updated policy for international institutions to responsibly use them. This directly supports the Digital Policy Hub’s objective […]

This project focuses on developing and optimizing social media strategies for a retail brand to enhance its online presence, engagement, and sales. With the increasing influence of digital platforms on consumer behaviour, having an effective social media strategy is crucial for brand visibility, customer connection, and revenue growth. The project will explore key aspects such […]

Workplace incidents usually need to be reported and it is important to ensure that they are resolved in a timely manner. To understand the procedures involved in an emergency response to a workplace incident, we have started investigating the existing practices of the McGill University Safety office by interviewing their personnel. We focused our investigation […]

The internship focuses on the intersection of mathematics, machine learning, and ethical AI, specifically within the domains of conformal prediction, fairness, and calibration. Conformal prediction is a statistical framework that provides mathematically rigorous confidence measures for machine learning predictions, ensuring that the uncertainty quantification is valid under minimal assumptions. In this project, the goal is […]

Through semi-structured interviews with current Mexican indigenous migrant men and women and extended family members, my dissertation inquiry focuses on how indigenous peoples – men and women – in Mexico have experienced (and continue to experience) the transition from subsistence to commercial agriculture. The core objective of my doctoral research is to bridge the existing […]

Spin qubits—nanoscale quantum bits made in semiconductor materials—are a promising technology for building future quantum computers. They are highly miniaturized, can work at relatively higher temperatures than competing technologies, and can be made using standard industrial semiconductor-chip fabrication techniques, which makes them ideal for scaling up. However, traditional chip design software is not adequate for […]

Uwear.ai est une startup montréalaise créée en mars 2023, avec pour mission de bâtir le meilleur photographe fashion virtuel. L’objectif du projet est d’ajouter des conditions à la deuxième version de notre adaptateur. Ces conditions nous permettrons de générer des photoshoots sur une personne cible.
