Wavelength tunable lasers are indispensable in future wavelength division multiplexing networks which can improve the communication capacity significantly. The objective of this project is to develop wavelength tunable semiconductor lasers with an ultra-wideband. By exploiting wave manipulation method, we will target the physical realization of such a device with high fabrication yield and high reliability. […]

In comparison to the well-developed electronic design automation (EDA) tools of microelectronics, the simulation tools of burgeoning photonics are too coarse. Time-assuming and computer memory hungry characters restrict tradition method application on photonic devices and circuits simulation. So, the aim of the proposed research project is to find a high accuracy and efficiency simulation method […]

Headworn display (HWD) augmented reality devices, such as the Magic Leap and HoloLens provide new opportunities to enhance interactive data visualizations. While immersive HWDs provide a straightforward way to render 3D and immersive visualizations, there are opportunities to improve 2D visualizations as well. This research program considers how 3D spatial metaphors enabled by AR can […]

Scalable systems must seamlessly grow to absorb large data sets and incorporate increasing numbers of processing units within in various communication fabrics. Broadly considered, this concept applies to cores sharing memory, processors sharing a bus, nodes sharing a network in a grid/cluster/cloud, or services sharing compositions of components. Ironically, attempts to add more resources-whether they […]

Forage fish, including Pacific sand lance, play a critical role in marine food webs in the Salish Sea. They feed on plankton and transfer this energy to predators like Chinook salmon. In turn, Chinook are an important prey item for the federally listed Southern resident killer whale, playing an important role in their survival. Any […]

Steel rebars are the dominant reinforcement elements in reinforced concrete structures due to their relatively adequate manufacturing, material property and established construction codes. In an ideal environment and under nominal loading, conventional concrete reinforcement is expected to govern the design strength based on which they are designed. However, under environmental loading conditions, such as very […]

Ce projet vise à proposer un système qui va permettre aux surintendants et aux gérants de construction de pouvoir évaluer et suivre l’avancement des travaux. De plus en plus de projets basent leur conception sur des modèles 3D permettant l’accès à plus d’informations et de détails que les plans 2D traditionnels. Ainsi, le système proposé […]

We investigate new possibilities for industrial data visualization and analysis with the latest Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (AR/VR) technologies. In this cluster research, we will apply the state-of-art visual analytics methodologies to the forestry, manufacturing and mining industries, and evaluate the potential benefits for the newly introduced technologies. The research outcome may benefit industrial […]

With the small qubit devices now becoming accessible across various hardware and cloud platforms, it is imperative to find useful tasks for the devices to perform. Such devices are known as NISQ – Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum – devices. In this regime of a few qubits, we expect the physical qubits to be noisy in […]

Malgré la pénurie de main-d’oeuvre, l’intégration des personnes en situation de handicap dans les entreprises reste faible. Plus précisément, 39% des personnes avec incapacité occupent un emploi comparé à 72% des personnes sans incapacité (OPHQ, 2014). Ne pas avoir d’emploi est l’un des principaux facteurs de risques d’exclusion sociale (OPHQ, 2017). Cette recherche examine les […]

This is a program of research activities through which we will create and compile materials about L’nu and broader Indigenous histories and experiences related to military history. Our materials are to guide the Atlantic Memorial Park Society in its development of Indigenous content at their new heritage site in North Sydney. Songs, Stories and Sacred […]

Le projet de recherche porte sur la prédiction probabiliste d’une demande intermittente. On cherche à prédire la distribution statistique du niveau de remplissage d’un réservoir en fonction du temps, à l’aide des données des derniers services. Ces prédictions permettront d’optimiser les fenêtres de temps des prochains services. De ce fait, on augmentera le taux de […]
