À chaque année, des milliers d’individus souffrent ou décèdent suite à l’administration d’un médicament qui n’était pas approprié pour eux. Grâce aux récentes découvertes en génétique, il est maintenant possible de mieux prédire comment un individu va répondre à divers médicaments en analysant ses variations génétiques. Hors, un service de séquençage génétique n’est toujours pas […]

Unprecedented advances have been made in Radiation Therapy during the past two decades. High precision treatment plan is generated using sophisticated optimization methods, and treatment is delivered with complex intensity modulation techniques. Due to the complexity, the burden of Quality Assurance (QA) for modern radiotherapy has also increased dramatically. Many staff and machine hours are […]

The main objective of this project is to investigate the performance of LiN-cryogenic technologY, as well as, high pressure cooling (HPC) in turning of hard-to-cut aerospace materials. The performance of cryogenic machining and HPC will be compared to flood coolant to establish the optimum conditions for each cooling technique, in terms of material removal rate, […]

Cryogenic treatment will be considered as a promising process to attain better mechanical properties and higher wear resistance. Previous researches have shown very bright perspectives in achieving significant improvement in mechanical properties and wear resistance of tool steels However, a cohesive picture about what exactly modifies microstructure at cryogenic temperature does not exist. In addition, […]

This project aims to advance real-time quality control in printed and flexible electronics manufacturing through the development and simulation of resonant metasurfaces. The work supports the commercialization of the TRAQC system—an AI-driven, terahertz-based inspection platform designed for in-line defect detection and material characterization. The research focuses on designing printable metasurface patterns made from different conductive […]

This research project attempts to investigate and advance approaches where the productivity of a small team can be increased while assessing the effectiveness of agile methodology and various communication and management models in a fast paced, constantly changing environment. Specifically, the intern will investigate the use of agile development methodologies within the video game context […]

Music is a fundamental part of human culture and day-to-day lives, but largely exists only as an accent in modern games. While arguably music can deepen and intensify in-game experiences, music is rarely an integrated part of the available mechanics in game worlds. Unlike any other MMORPG or music-based game currently available, this project will […]

Au Canada, la durabilité de la foresterie est une condition obligatoire pour les entreprises qui désirent opérer sur les territoires publiques. La durabilité est aussi essentielle à l’épanouissement des communautés et des cultures autochtones qui dépendent de la forêt. Toutefois, la participation autochtone dans le secteur forestier fait face à un ensemble d’obstacles tels la […]

In this project, the intern will study the production process at a Parallam mill in Vancouver working closely with its Production Manager. The objective of this work is to develop simulation models to evaluate potential alternatives in order to improve the process efficiency of the final stage of operations at the mill. The final stage […]

This research proposal is in the field of decision making under uncertainty. More specifically, we focus upon improving decision making in adversarial, stochastic and/or partially observable situations. In any situation where there is more than one agent that can impact its current state, or any variable that is outside the control of the agent, we […]

The role of this internship is to assist in reaching the SSHRC goal for the Dreamcatcher system of capturing cultural data, traditional ecological knowledge, and traditional land use. This internship will contribute to the growing area of critical Indigenous research in Canadian planning practice and theory. Canadian planning structures, including heritage recognition and conservation, are […]

The aim of the project is to design effective informational security and privacy controls for a new type of patient health portal that will empower patients to share contextual information about their values, priorities and beliefs with members of their extended circle of care. Knowing “what matters” to patients is important for clinical decision-making in […]
