To investigate how artificial intelligence techniques can be applied to improve productivity in computer-mediated work contexts, including email and messaging applications. We look at how to leverage features in data to make better guesses about when someone is productive, and create intelligent assistants to help people stay productive.

Organic and Printed Electronics are a disruptive technology that will create a wealth of new products and markets not yet imagined. Organic and printed electronics can help to overcome the numerous challenges the world is facing in the next decade such as environmental sustainability, energy supply, health and demographics, mobility and security, and others. In […]

Dans les fermes porcines, le suivi du comportement et l’analyse des données biométriques sont indispensables pour l’amélioration du bien-être, du niveau de santé, de l’efficacité des traitements, la prise de décision en matière de reproduction et plus généralement, la durabilité de la production porcine. Additionnellement, avec la pénurie de main d’œuvre au Québec, les fermes […]

Canada is a leader in the global mining industry. At a time of increasing scrutiny of the role of business in society, mining executives now cite social risk as a key challenge to providing resources for global growth and sustainable development. This proposed research aims to assess approaches for mining companies to engage with stakeholders […]

Water Rangers uses citizen science to acquire baseline data for water bodies across Canada by giving and selling testkits to volunteers across Canada. This project will explore who is most likely to take part in water testing, what engagement strategies reduce dropout rates, and how testing water increase environmental concern by changing values and people’s […]

Graduate students working on the NSERC RDC program titled: Clutched redundant Rotary Motors for Aircraft Primary Flight Control will have the opportunity to pursue their respective research projects at the locations of the two industrial partners supporting the project. Bell Helicopter will accept 5 fulltime 4 months internships and Bombardier will accept 4 fulltime 4 […]

Research problem: Reclamation practitioners must consider seed source for revegetation measures that maximize long-term resilience of reclaimed sites in regions undergoing rapid climate change. Climate analog mapping, relating climate of a space at a point in time to that of another, can help identify location of seed sources best adapted for current and future climates. […]

This project involves adapting and delivering a health literacy program for immigrants living in rural British Columbia. The goal of this program is to build confidence and knowledge about health care. Participants learn about the health care system and how to access health services in their community. After attending, participants will report feeling confident in […]

Ce projet vise l’amélioration d’une méthode de mesure, utilisant la norme ISO 18437-5, permettant de mesurer les propriétés élastiques de matériaux poreux à squelette élastique. Ces matériaux sont couramment utilisés en combinaison avec des panneaux métalliques ou composites pour contrôler leur comportement vibratoire et acoustique. De tels panneaux forment notamment les coques d’avions et panneaux […]

L’objectif de la recherche est de caractériser au niveau moléculaire et 3D deux macromolécules marines. L’idée est que cette maîtrise serve de premiers pas au développement d’une plateforme de structural chez Merinov. Les données recueillies les deux principales protéines seront utiles aux travaux de Merinov. En effet, une meilleure connaissance de ces macromolécules permettra de […]

Most Canadians prefer to remain in their own homes for as long as possible, or “age in place”. One important area of daily living is meal preparation. The opportunity to age in place is likely to be higher where kitchens allow for the changing functional ability of people as they age. Décor is a Canadian […]

Globally, mountain regions (especially those at high latitudes) are undergoing rapid environmental change and plant communities are expected to respond by changing their locations or timing of flowering. Exactly how future plant communities in these regions will look and function is unknown but has important implications for local animals and human communities. Through this project, […]
