Ce projet vise à mettre au point de nouvelles méthodes d’intelligence artificielle pour améliorer la détection de chutes à l’aide d’un radar. L’utilisation d’un radar permet la détection de chutes dans un domicile tout en protégeant la vie privée des personnes grâce à l’absence de prise d’image et ne nécessite aucun capteur porté. Cela permet […]

Regular physical activity is essential for optimal physical and mental health however the majority of Canadians aren’t meeting physical activity recommendations. The ParticipACTION app aims to assist Canadians in becoming more active and the purpose of this research program is to enhance the app’s impact by informing it with the Multi-Process Action Control (M-PAC) Framework. […]

We will harness the power of Mirametrix eye-tracking technology to offer a viable means of probing internal mental processes that were previously intractable without more expensive or invasive techniques. Through the innovative application of popular statistical methods and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, we will produce a software plug-in capable of online and offline pupil size […]

To address the urgent problem of climate change, it is important to look for alternatives to fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, are attractive but are often criticized for being intermittent: the energy produced varies with time of day or season of the year. There is a mismatch between the […]

While quantum computers in theory can solve problems exponentially faster than conventional computers, in practise they are quite challenging to build. One of the main problems facing the technology used by D-Wave, IBM, and google is the presence of flux noise. The current project aims to understand the origin of flux noise in D-Wave’s superconductor-based […]

Physical activity is an important part of children’s development. However, a majority of Canadian children are not meeting the national recommendation of 60-minutes of physical activity. To counter this issue, London’s Child and Youth Network (CYN) developed the ACT-i-Pass Program, a physical activity program that offers free recreational programming to grade 5 children in the […]

Le Canada offre de soins de santé universel. Cependant, son système de couverture des médicaments d’ordonnance est très fragmenté. Cette fragmentation, accompagnée des coûts grimpant des médicaments, mène plusieurs canadiens à ne pas avoir les ressources nécessaires pour obtenir les médicaments dont ils ont besoin. L’idée d’un formulaire national émerge donc. C’est alors en février […]

Incorporating geosynthetic layers on top of the subgrade layer provides more stability and serviceability. That becomes a must when the subgrade layer is classified as a problematic soil. With the traditional method, two layers of geosynthetic are adopted: a geogrid for reinforcement and a geotextile for filtration. Placing these two materials in this manner is […]

La planification de rdv à domicile (infirmières ou pour rdv de techniciens) est complexe. Elle nécessite des compétences géographiques et une connaissance métier de répartiteur. Ce processus prend énormément de ressources. Ce projet vise donc projet à concevoir une méthode de suggestion d’horaire de rendez-vous sans avoir à réoptimiser de lourds emplois du temps.

Nucleic acid-based therapies such as DNA and siRNA has equipped us with the freedom to customize in our battle against specific cancers and other diseases. Especially the non-viral approach to deliver the therapeutic nucleic acids in a clinical setting provides a safer alternative to the viral gene therapy systems. However, to achieve a clinically relevant […]

The project is focused on designing and developing a novel point of care analytical device using functional magnetic microparticles that can quantitatively determine the concentration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody and SARS-CoV-2 viruses in human saliva and serum. This approach will allow mass testing in the general population to assess past or current infection. Furthermore, it can […]

This project will investigate how software developers work with structured information. It will use information about that interaction to improve tools needed by developers. It will assess whether those tools improve the productivity of software developers. The project will also compare the access patterns of users of business intelligence applications to those of developers to […]
