Female performers from Brazil and other Latin American countries, as well as Canadian-born female musicians make up the majority and the backbone of the Brazilian music scene in Toronto. As these performers […]

My research explores practical solutions to preventing and reversing the growth of global deserts due to climate change and unsustainable development. In this case, it is grounded on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China, where poor policymaking and implementation has failed to halt the expansion of the Gobi Desert. Another consequence of these policies has […]

This proposed research will create a corporate website as well as content management system, which will be developed at and for Side Effects Software. The main objectives of this applied research are (1) redesign the corporate website and services attached; (2) ensure the security, reliability, and scalability of the system; (3) test the application efficiently […]

3D object detection and pose estimation (ODPE) is an important area in computer vision, which has many real world applications such as robotics and augmented reality. Estimating an accurate pose from RGB cameras alone is challenging. Given the increased popularity of RGBD sensors, such as Microsoft Kinect, we propose a hybrid method for ODPE based […]

The internship will be divided into two parts (4 months each). In the first half, I will be working with Freshbooks´ IOS product. They currently use apple’s data storage called Core Data. It’s an internal data storage system that is built-in to the phone, and allows the application to work without an internet connection. I […]

The purpose of this project is to develop methodologies for automatic human emotion detection from video that can work accurately in uncontrolled, real-world, environments. Emotional activity will be assessed from signals such as the heart-rate, blinking rate or the diameter of the eye?s pupil. Architech Labs conducts research in the areas of machine learning, computer […]

The proposed research will study the rock breakdown on the Moon due to thermal fatigue caused by the thermal stresses arising from diurnal temperature changes. This is done through data analysis, modeling, and physical experiments. This work is important because it fills a key gap in our understanding of the processes by which the lunar […]

Remote health settings require affordable blood tests to provide care. ChipCare aims to reduce the cost of these tests by producing a user-friendly device the size of a credit-card reader. Disposable cartridges that go into the device will bring down costs. One aim of this project is to improve the design of the reader in […]
