Ce projet vise à approfondir les connaissances sur les facteurs influençant les ventes de livres, tant les ventes aux con-sommateurs dans les librairies indépendantes que les ventes aux bibliothèques, en se concentrant sur l’effet des prix littéraires. Les prix littéraires peuvent envoyer un signal de qualité, cependant la compréhension de l’effet des prix sur les […]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become ubiquitous. However, many challenges still need to be addressed to capitalize on their unique capabilities to support the creation of new Internet-of-Things services. The main difficulty is managing a swarm of UAVs in challenging environments. This project focuses on developing and evaluating a new UAV-based persistent surveillance system (UPSS) […]

Natural history collections and the specimens stored within are vital to our understanding of biodiversity, ecology, and evolution. To both preserve and increase their accessibility, efforts are being made to digitize the world’s natural history collections. In herbariums (natural history collections for plants), machine learning is being used to assist the digitization process by classifying […]

City staff are guided by policies when making decisions about their community. Some cities have taken the initiative to adopt a policy that embeds equity considerations into decision making. However, many other cities are still earlier in their path to creating more equitable communities and need support. Researchers and planning practitioners have heard from city […]

Cell-based therapies have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of chronic diseases such as endocrine and autoimmune disorders, neurological degeneration, and cancer. These treatments utilize cells as localized biofactories to secrete therapeutic molecules. However, one major roadblock in efficiently utilizing cell-based therapies is the cells survival and wellbeing in bioprinted devices. This is due to […]

Le domaine de l’assurance de biens et dommages est vaste et touche à des questions diverses, notamment en automobile. Dans le cadre des réclamations, les échanges sont fréquents entre le client et l’expert en sinistre et le processus est trop long. Ce projet vise à développer un modèle permettant de prédire a) le degré de […]

Virtual reality surgery simulation is an emerging technology in surgeon training to train surgical motor skills in virtual environments. This technology reduces the need for training on patients, cadavers, and animals, and enables objective evaluation of the skill acquisition process in a systematic manner. Although this technology has attracted a great deal of interest in […]

My research will take place in the City of Beaumont, focusing on the Beaumont and District Agricultural Society (BADAS) and its potential role as a collaborative partner with the City of Beaumont and food system actors in the community of Beaumont. My research aims to address a gap in the literature concerning the roles agricultural […]

Carbon is a component of CO2, an important greenhouse gas (GHG) responsible for climate change. Forests store more carbon than is found in the atmosphere, with most of this stored in the soil. This ability to store carbon has led to many tree-planting projects across Canada including a large-scale tree restoration program led by Reckitt […]

The research project bridges across international architectural exhibitions using nextgeneration dissemination venues, including online and physical screenings. The project includes the immersive architectural environment Grove and its associated CGI film Grove Cradle. The film was created for the 17th Venice Biennale of Architecture as a collaboration between Professor Philip Beesley of Canada, Warren Du Preez […]

One of the primary challenges of creating robots that can complete useful real-world tasks is providing the robot with the ability to navigate through its environment while avoiding collisions with objects. In order to do this, robotics relies on the use of collision checkers to determine which actions will result in a collision. The time […]
