Modern software development heavily relies on external libraries. The proposed collaboration will create techniques and publicly-available tools useful to both users of external libraries and maintainers of these libraries. Our hypothesis is that different clients use different subsets of libraries’ API surfaces, and that it is possible to use clustering algorithms to automatically split libraries […]

Cybersecurity incidents such as data breaches have become more critical and costly than ever, as we are generating, processing, and relying on more digital information every day. To quickly identify potential security attacks and prevent them in a sea of system activities, machine learning (ML) has been applied to support security analysts’ decisions. However, the […]

The goal of this project is to help understand how patient descriptions of joint pain and disability relate to the mechanical properties of joint tissues to better design solutions for patients. This project will focus on developing ultrasound methods to quantitatively measure the biomechanical properities and function of human joint soft-tissue. The project will start […]

The newly emerging field of printable electronics is expected to facilitate widespread low-cost electronic devices for applications such as flexible displays, identification labels, wearable electronics and rapid prototyping. This field incorporates a variety of printing technologies with conductive ink to deposit conductive traces on any material. However, companies like Voltera, who are creating new technologies […]

Hospital readmission from in-patient psychiatry is increasingly problematic for patients and care administrators, as they often are associated with poor clinical outcomes and higher care costs. An understanding of factors that predispose in-patient psychiatry patients to hospital readmission would be critical in improving patient care and reducing healthcare-related costs. My research proposes to use machine […]

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as metal 3D printing, can revolutionize the way we make things by ‘printing’ parts one layer at a time using a laser and metal powder. However, AM is an inherently expensive process. One of the major costs of the process is the metal powders, with some powders costing hundreds of […]

Using a fisheye head-mounted camera to estimate human pose in 3D has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to capture activities in unconstrained environments. Egocentric 3D human pose estimation (HPE) has a number of challenges due to self-occlusions and strong distortions. Intermediate heatmap-based representations have been found to be effective in […]

Climate change due to CO2 emission as a result of burning fossil fuels has become an urgent environmental concern. Moving towards developing clean and sustainable energy sources is inevitable. Expansion of electrification in the energy sector is one of the effective approaches to developing cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Metal-air batteries that are assembled […]

The research will focus on building a deep learning model to analyze video and audio streams of input video material, essentially creating something like a table of contents, for example: * Minutes 0-3: Introduction. Our topic is binomial coefficients. * Minutes 3-4: Problem source. * Minutes 4-6: Details of the mathematics. Calculations of values. * […]

Decarbonizing the transportation sector and scaling up energy storage are critical for the transition to a net-zero economy. This project will study the potential of connecting fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to the electrical grid as distributed energy storage and/or electricity generators to supply electricity to the grid when needed. This FCEVs-to-grid pathway can maximize […]

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on mental health, substance use and homelessness in Canada. The pandemic has also made visible the current patchwork system of care provided in the private, public. It is expected that the medium-long term mental health and substance use impacts of the pandemic will be significant at both the […]

Cultural Planning encourages recognition of a community’s network of interrelated assets, and maintains that it is beneficial to conserve built cultural heritage resources. Many municipalities, including the City of Guelph, have undertaken cultural mapping initiatives, which are considered an initial step and a defining feature of this vein of planning. Guelph’s mapping initiative identifies the […]
