Employer Demand-Driven Training (EDDT) Programs for Youth Employment

The proposed research project will research and evaluate the impact of Employer Demand-Driven Training (EDDT) programs undertaken in 5 pilot sites in Ontario. As a strategy, ‘demand-driven’ means putting businesses at the centre of workforce training development and using their workforce needs and challenges as the starting point to design effective programs. In this way, […]

Investigations on acoustic parameters affecting nerve excitability during reversible ultrasound neural stimulation: from ex-vivo animal nerve models down to neural cells

Our brain is constituted of billions of neurons gathered in networks and communicating between each other through electrical impulses. It is possible to impact on this nervous activity through stimulations of various origins including electric, magnetic or acoustic. Indeed, neurostimulation can artificially induce signals within the nervous network, but also modulate the existing signals by […]

Deep Learning for Action Recognition, Localization and Parsing

The goal of this project is to develop algorithms that allow machines to understand and describe actions in video. For example, we would like computers to be able to classify videos according to the actions taking place inside them , and annotate the videos according to where and when the actions take place. To tackle […]

Monitoring System for Predictive Energy Management and Maintenance of PV Systems

Existing techniques rely on conventional techniques, which are insufficient and do not ensure increased and optimal utilization of freely available PV energy. We propose predictive energy management and preventive maintenance through monitoring system for PV systems, taking futuristic PV potential and weather forecasts into account in association with the operational parameters of the PV system. […]
