This project will design a new AI system to help Ciena’s Blue Planet division automatically understand and solve complex problems in communication networks. Currently, AI tools can only answer simple, fact-based questions. The research intern will develop a more advanced “GraphRAG” system that connects all network data—like equipment status and error logs—into a smart knowledge […]

The rise of quantum computing threatens traditional cryptographic systems such as RSA and ECC, which can be broken by quantum algorithms. This poses significant risks for the automotive industry, where in-vehicle communication networks must ensure both low latency and high data integrity. Modern vehicles rely on Controller Area Network Flexible Data-rate (CAN FD) and its […]

Climate change is reshaping ecosystems, yet regional climate data often overlook the fine-scale temperature patterns that species actually experience. These local variations, or microclimates, are influenced by vegetation, topography, and land cover, and can shield organisms from extreme conditions. This project aims to improve how we model and map microclimates using high-resolution drone imagery. We […]

The current gold standard to assess cancer risk of chemicals and other consumer products is the 2-year rodent cancer bioassay, which is time-consuming, expensive, and does a poor job at predicting the potential for cancer in humans. DupSeq is a cutting-edge, ultra-precise genetic analysis tool that can identify subtle changes in DNA, providing more comprehensive […]

This project aims to improve medical isotope imaging for the diagnosis of patients with heart disease, specifically those with plaque buildup in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.

This research project focuses on improving pharmacology education in Canada and beyond through a research partnership with the the Canadian Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CSPT), a national not-for-profit?charitable organization that fosters educational and research excellence in pharmacology. The project will focus on defining and developing educational resources that would be made available to all […]

A comparative analysis of the root microbiomes of lettuce grown in soil to lettuce grown in hydroponic systems. The microbial community composition for each root sample will be identified using DNA sequencing and compared to determine differences between each sample. This information will help Ceragen improve their ability to identify plant growth promoting microbes that […]

In-hospital cardiac arrest is one of the most challenging and overlooked health issues worldwide. Even with care teams dedicated to rapid response when an arrest occurs, only about 1 in 5 patients survive. Since a person’s chance of survival goes down with every minute they are not treated after the arrest, we need to find […]

In this project we will investigate and develop novel techniques that employ Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) for the optimal execution of queries in a relational DBMS. The research will be conducted with close collaboration with the team of IBM that develops Db2, the well-known relational DBMS of IBM. The goal is to […]

À une époque qui discute abondamment de “concepts”, le projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre ce que sont les concepts et la manière dont ils organisent la pensée et l’action d’un être pensant. Le projet s’appuie sur une interprétation de la philosophie de Hegel, en particulier sur l’idée selon laquelle un concept fonctionne comme […]

This 12-week research internship at the University of Ottawa hosts an MSc student from ENS Paris-Saclay, advancing research in mathematical aspects of quantum information. The project studies how algebraic structure and symmetry can simplify and certify quantum behaviours in non-local games, a core tool for device-independent cryptography. By translating game rules into algebraic objects and […]

This project, “Validation of numerical methods for luminescent coupling in novel semiconductor technologies and material systems,” is a partnership between Canadian and German researchers at the University of Ottawa, the University of Freiburg, and the affiliated Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy. It aims to produce a program for calculating luminescent coupling within semiconducting devices such […]
