I am working on reinforcement learning for finance based on deep mathematical knowledge and the host supervisor is working on financial engineering, reinforcement learning and Markov decision process. We will study deep reinforcement learning for stock market trading and for portfolio management. The goal is to find a practical deep reinforcement agent to manage stock […]

Photonic integrated circuits allow the computations required for artificial neural networks to be performed using light. By doing so, they obviate many of the challenges associated with electronic computers, paving the way to a new class of information processing hardware. Such hardware could help address the growing demand for machine learning and artificial intelligence in […]

Due to the recent 4th industrial revolution, manufacturing systems have become intelligent with the fusion of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and cloud computing. To improve the reliability and availability of intelligent manufacturing systems, data-driven fault diagnostic methods have been paid much attention due to numerous data obtained from the manufacturing systems. Among data-driven […]

In this project the intern will preform detailed geological mapping and where available drill core logging at a series of sites of known highly metalliferous shales in the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories. This will be followed by detailed reflected and transmitted light optical microscopy. Select samples will be further analysed using scanning electron microscope. […]

Canadian adolescent athletes suffer many mental health challenges such as hyper competitiveness and a culture of silence which often precludes individuals from discussing mental health issues. These challenges have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Team Unbreakable (the partner organization) have run a highly successful physical activity and mental health program which is implemented through […]

Single domain antibodies (sdAbs) represent a versatile class of heavy chain antibodies lacking a paired light chain and encoded by VHH germline genes typically expressed in camelids. KisoJi Biotech has developed a transgenic mouse line in which each mouse expresses multiple camelid VHH genes capable of specifically binding any antigen of interest. The small molecular […]

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), the commonest cause of death in epilepsy, is the most feared complication. SUDEP usually occurs following a seizure, most often in patients who are non-responsive to antiepileptic drugs. These patients are typically found dead in bed following respiratory apnea and cardiac arrest. Our group has shown that seizures in […]

The global burden of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing as it has become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths and the fifth most common cancer worldwide. HCC is heterogenous, arising in the setting of various chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. Patients with cirrhosis who develop cancer […]

The workflow of pathologists will soon be revolutionized with the introduction of digital pathology allowing pathologists to view tissue samples as a digital image on a computer workstation. Such a conversion from traditional microscopy will bring many benefits to the pathologist’s workflow aiming to boost significant efficiency as well as ergonomic benefits. However, much work […]
