The Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiative at SickKids, supporting the future of individualized paediatric care at SickKids and beyond. We are developing a unique paediatric methodology for the integration of AI and data science into clinical care. Critically ill children in pediatric and cardiac intensive care units are at a significant risk of clinical deterioration, which […]

Net Zero Atlantic is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that is seeking to advance a sustainable and inclusive transition to a carbon-neutral Atlantic Canada through the provision of credible and objective data and support services. In service of this objective, Net Zero Atlantic leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic […]

This research project will systematically compare different design alternatives for a data store module that is tuned for concurrent accesses by multiple independent threads in a program. The particular access pattern is modelled after the specifics of automated securities trading programs implemented in Java. Based on a systematic evaluation, a prototype implementation will be developed […]

Despite many recent advances in biotechnology, the methods for monitoring water quality remain largely unchanged for the past century. We will use next-generation DNA sequencing technology to guide the design of novel DNA-based tests to improve sensitivity and specificity of water quality testing. There are two challenges which will be addressed by the intern: DNA […]

The company integrates AI and data-driven approaches to optimize supply chain processes, improve consumer […]

The objective of a fusion device is to confine a plasma and heat it to a temperative high enough for its ions to gain sufficient energy to overcome their mutually repulsive force and fuse. Fusion neutrons will provide a heat souce that’s used to generate electricity in a steam cycle. Fusion power is environmentally friendly […]

This project will upgrade the Climate and Infrastructure Forensic Analysis System (CIFAS), originally developed to characterize snow- and permafrost-related impacts to ground transportation and mine access roads in the Canadian North. My first objective is to enhance the analytical capacity of CIFAS by improving its ability to quantify uncertainties associated with empirical knowledge used to […]

Mash helps revenue teams at technical B2B companies streamline pre- and post-sales activities by automating knowledge-intensive tasks such as answering product questions, managing bug reports and feature requests, and prepping for meetings. Its AI platform leverages data buried in messaging platforms, wikis, CRMs, and other internal tools to deliver timely, context-aware assistance to individuals in […]

HIV-1 remains a global health challenge, with over 35 million people infected. The high rates of turnover and evolutionary adaptability exhibited by HIV-1 pose a particular challenge to the use of antiretrovirals, as well as the development of a vaccine. Our focus is to understand the dynamics of two of the most commonly tracked clinical […]

Un problème réel dans l’industrie des transformateurs de puissance est le manque d’outils et de méthodes précises pour déterminer l’état et la durée de vie de l’isolation principale. Ces appareils onéreux, composés d’enroulement de cuivre isolés par du papier et le tout baignant dans une huile isolante, représentent le coeur de tous réseaux électriques. Le […]

Ubisoft is one of the world’s largest video game studios, specializing in 3D open-world games that require precise 3D character representations. In particular, achieving high-quality facial features is crucial, as humans are highly sensitive to small details in facial expressions. Currently, creating 3D facial representations first requires a Lightstage capture pipeline. This process begins with […]

Traditional static authentication systems have a fundamental deficiency; it assumes the presence of the validated user through the length of the session. Continuous authentication algorithms periodically validate the identity of a user during the entire session. It relies on information that can be automatically extracted from the user such as biometrics and behavior patterns. A […]
