Digital Twin Technology in Urban Planning: Housing, Biodiversity, and Infrastructure – The case of Dieppe & Moncton (NB)

Rapid urban growth challenges cities with rising populations, infrastructure demands, and environmental sustainability. Traditional urban planning, based on outdated models and fragmented data, struggles to address these complexities. Digital Twin (DT) technology offers a solution by creating dynamic virtual models of real-world environments using real-time data. By integrating sources like geographic information systems (GIS), sensors, […]

Optimizing STAR-RIS Deployment for Next-Generation Wireless Networks

This research project focuses on improving wireless communication systems by studying and optimizing new technologies called Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). These surfaces can control how wireless signals travel, helping expand coverage and improve connection quality in urban and rural areas. A special type of RIS, known as STAR-RIS (Simultaneously Transmitting and Reflecting), allows signals to […]

«Shallow Water Extensions to Complex Fluid Dynamics»

The realism and interactivity of large water bodies—such as oceans and rivers—are essential for creating immersive and dynamic open-world environments. With the rapid advancement in GPU computing power, physical simulation techniques are now a feasible solution for significantly enhancing the realism of water systems in real-time applications. Shallow water simulations, for example, provide efficient 2.5D […]

The Political Evolution of Parental Rights: Class, Education, and2SLGBTQIA+ Backlash in North America

The parental rights movement, which gained traction in the 1930s (largely in reaction to child labour reforms), has long resisted progressive reform. By the 1990s, the movement found renewed momentum amid heated debates over charter schools, further embedding the rhetoric of government overreach, privatization, and ethnonationalism into its public messaging4. Although considerable scholarship was produced […]

Patient to provider AI message drafting in hospital-based outpatient care, a mixed-methods study exploring integration in care and impact

Patients can use secure messages to communicate with their healthcare providers through patient-facing patient portals. While patients like the use of secured messaging, it also increases the workload burden for providers, and as such, providers often do not offer it to patients. With recent years of technological innovation, electronic hospital records software has developed AI-generated […]
