In this research we will identify current types of customer, taking into account people who prefer to use a variety of platforms and different preferences in terms of how actively they manage their money. . We will carry out focus groups and interpret the results of a survey in terms of their implications for a […]

The ultimate objective of this research project is to use a form of artificial intelligence to be able to classify and identify images of microscopic particles. Machine Learning is the term applied to this type of process, in which an algorithm is created by the computer software itself (i.e. mostly hidden from human intervention) to […]

This project will assess the game demands of wheelchair court sports. While this has been attempted in the past, new methods using inertial measurement units (IMU) allow each push to be identified and offer new ways to analyze these game demands and connect them to key performance metrics. With the help of Own the Podium, […]

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health issue and antibiotic prescribing patterns are increasingly being recognized as the main cause of resistance. Antibiotic stewardship activities have highlighted the role of over- and inappropriate use of antibiotics in driving antibiotic resistance. Prior research has shown consistent temporal patterns in antibiotic prescribing, such that prescribing rates tend […]

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the oldest light we can observe. CMB observations have told us a lot about the universe, from the conditions in the early universe to how the universe will expand in the future. As CMB propagates towards us, its path is altered by the gravity of everything in between the […]

Software-defined networking (SDN) technology is an approach to cloud computing that facilitates network management and enables programmatically efficient network configuration in order to improve network performance and monitoring. SDN suggests centralizing network intelligence in one network component by disassociating the forwarding process of network packets (data plane) from the routing process (control plane). The control […]

Characterization of the energy distribution of ions generated by the plasma in an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) instrument is necessary for a new ion source in that it influences the ion sampling process, transmission efficiency, focusing, and mass analysis in ICP-MS. These energy distribution phenomena are also analogous to the ion beam that […]

Pharmaceutical drugs can be made in different forms such as tablets, solutions, capsules, etc. depending on ease of administration, the effect of the drug on the body, and the effect of the body on the drug. Capsules are composed of an outer gelatin shell in which the drug is packed. They are more expensive to […]

In the real estate sector, a large volume of data is produced by businesses, commercial users and building visitors in a great variety of forms. For instance, three extensive sources of data come from unstructured text (e.g. documents, contracts), numerical data containing resources consumption and sensor/image-type data describing user behavior. A challenging problem for the […]

Transportation of oil and gas through pipeline networks remain a crucial infrastructure for sustainable economic growth in Canada. Pipeline wear and damage will remain a major concern as it can lead to catastrophic failures causing environmental and economic damage if undetected. For easier detection of damage on a large network of pipelines, an array of […]

In this project we plan to study parametric fluorescence in a particular class of integrated photonic structures that can be used to enhance and control the generation of non-classical light based on photon pairs. The system we have in mind is composed of two resonators designed to be linearly uncoupled, but arranged in such a […]

Previous research has shown that most of the mammalian genome is transcribed, while most mammalian transcripts do not code for proteins and may instead be functional themselves. Non-coding RNAs play critical roles in some of the most fundamental processes in molecular biology. The vast majority of mammalian non-coding transcripts are constituted by long non-coding RNAs […]
