We will assess the quality and suitability of blood and blood-derived products using a fast and economical approach that combines measurements of molecules in the blood product identified by their weight and computational approaches to make sense of all the data generated. Normal blood products have thousands of small molecules in common. By monitoring a […]

In machining applications, the robot can rotate about the tool axis without affecting machining results. This additional freedom is beneficial in the sense that it can be used to avoid robot singularities, joint limits, collisions, etc. In this project, we will investigate methods of managing this additional degree of freedom automatically. Further, between operations, the […]

1 in 13 men in Canada is diagnosed with colon cancer every year. And 1 in 29 will die consequently. 1 in 16 women in Canada are similarly diagnosed leading to death in 1 out of 34 women. More than 90% of colon cancer cases start as a small benign growth called polyp. These polyps […]

The quest for building an artificial intelligence (A.I.) that is general and able to solve multiple tasks, as humans do, has experienced a growing interest in the last few years. Current A.I. systems can communicate with humans and provide sensible answers and ideas in the form of text. However, if we expect A.I. systems to […]

Creative research to investigate what types of Augmented Reality experiences cause users to feel co-presence. A set of prototypes will be created that explore different ways that users can experience presence in virtual worlds at the same time as other users. A publicly accessible artwork in Victoria, BC, will be created based on learnings from […]

The landscape of the insurance industry has undergone rapid transformation in recent decades. A driving force behind this transformation is the exponential growth of data volumes, necessitating effective processing to unlock their full potential. This surge has led to the development of advanced processing technologies, much like how AI is harnessed to transform the insurance […]

Dans un marché très compétitif comme celui de l’assurance, estimer la durée de l’association potentielle entre un nouveau client et la compagnie est un enjeu majeur. Ceci permet à l’entreprise de cibler de futurs clients potentiels qui seront plus susceptibles d’augmenter sa rentabilité en répartissant les coûts dus à l’émission du contrat sur une plus […]

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are proposed to improve existing training methods of machine operations and maintenance. It can reduce the need of the physical equipment to get hands on experience. Virtual models of machines are built to perform all the tasks as required in the real life such as troubleshoot different […]

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

This project presents an innovative approach to personalized nutrition using 3D food printing technology. It comprises two key components. Firstly, a decision-support system is designed to evaluate the feasibility of turning a 3D food design into a tangible, edible product. This system helps ensure that the food is not only nutritious but also practical to […]

La durée de vie des équipements haute tension, comme les alternateurs de puissance, est généralement limitée par celle de son système d’isolation. Le revêtement isolant utilisé pour les barres en cuivre représente l’élément de ces machines dont la résistance thermique et mécanique est la plus faible. En plus, les matériaux impliqués dans la conception de […]

Les ingénieurs utilisent les précipitations maximales probables (PMP) pour concevoir des infrastructures résistantes aux aléas hydrométéorologiques. La PMP est définie par l’Organisation Mondiale Météorologique (OMM) comme la quantité maximale d’eau pouvant s’accumuler en une période donnée dans une région, indépendamment des tendances climatiques à long terme. Une mauvaise estimation de la PMP peut entraîner des […]
