This project will develop accessible wayfinding practices for an interdisciplinary art exhibition. The project combines research-creation and auto-ethnographic methodologies to explore and develop accessibility practices within the Canadian arts sector. The intern will work with partner organization Mass Culture to adapt and revise “Access in Counterpoint,” an accessibility framework intended for a broad interdisciplinary arts […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision-making are finding widespread applications in various sectors, and pig production is no exception. In this fast-evolving landscape, there is a need to assess which areas would benefit the most from AI and to evaluate their impact on productivity and sustainability of the Canadian swine industry. There is also a […]

The research aims to develop a new computer algorithm for automating simulations of complex power systems when simulations are used for design. The new algorithm will be able to find multiple optimal solutions, which will give the designer the ability to scrutinize and select the most suited option. Additionally the algorithm will be parallel in […]

Water distribution networks, which provide clients drinking water, are prone to leaks. Leaks are a critical area of concern, as they cost billions of dollars each year, and can allow water-born pathogens into drinking water, which is a public health concern. Current leak detection methods are very labor intensive, as many of them require experienced […]

The project concentrates on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) fabrication process optimization. MEMS devices comprise suspended structures, such as cantilevers, gyros, membranes, etc., which are created by removing sacrificial material around them in order to have these structures released to perform their designated function. Currently, these structures are being released with the use of either dry etch […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

A quick and simple, point of care test is being developed to detect traumatic brain injuries using saliva samples. The prototype test uses biotechnology to measure the presence of certain protein markers of injury, resulting in a change of colour and/or location of colour in the test material. The interpretation of the results can be […]

Ce projet s’intéresse aux « lieux de mémoire » au Québec. La transmission volontaire d’une mémoire et d’un héritage par les populations passées aux générations futures crée des sites archéologiques particuliers, dont les traces sont délibérément conçues pour traverser le temps. La découverte en 2023 d’une « capsule temporelle » dans le « monument Price […]

HPN is building a hyperautomation platform using data science, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) techniques to hyperscale its unique business model. The expected outcomes from this platform will be scale up of revenue internationally along with improved operating margins; enhanced member and customer experience through self-service and AI concierge services; and innovation in […]

This project aims to research a new set of algorithms that extract audio features from audio files in sound effect libraries and use machine learning approaches to predict high-level audio descriptors–such as emotional adjectives–to enhance game audio file labelling. This research project will assist our partner organization by providing them with a set of algorithms […]

Pegmatites are important sources of several rare elements which are essential for development of modern technologies. The pegmatite deposits in Uganda had been explored and mined until the early 1970’s. At present, they are being re-evaluated and exploration for new deposits is ongoing. Auranda is seeking to establish models for mineral production based on certified, […]

Dans le contexte de réformes des systèmes de soins, incluant ceux en rapport avec la dépendance, cette étude vise à améliorer les connaissances et soutenir la prise de décision sur les profils d’usagers aux prises avec des troubles concomitants de dépendance aux substances psychoactives (alcool et différentes drogues) et de santé mentale. L’objet de l’étude […]
