Unsupervised Financial Fraud Detection Using Low-rank Recovery

The goal of this research is to give an effectively unsupervised financial fraud detection method, in which low rank recovery method is used to exploit intrinsic relationship of data samples. The benefits of our methods have several folds: (1) compared with classification-based methods, our methods can deal with the imbalance problem effectively; (2) by using […]

Automatic Classification of Normal and Dysphagic Swallows Based on the sEMG Signals

Swallow events classification is significant to improve the performance of swallow detection in digital health technologies. Our work consists of two major contributions: First, we perform data preprocessing techniques and transform the raw sEMG signals into feature vectors before using them to train an ML classifier. It is important for developing a data exploration project […]

Optimization Design and experimental demonstration of Optical Phased Arrays (OPAs)

We are proposing to help design the experimental setup to characterize chip-scale Optical Phased Arrays (OPAs). OPAs – a photonic device used for optical beam forming and beam steering – have been widely studied for LiDAR, optical sensing, free-space communication and more. Building on previously prototyped phase array antenna design at Honeywell, the team aims […]

Design of a Novel, Low-profile Picture Space Heater

Datec Coatings Corporation has developed a new technology that enables them to print heating elements on various surfaces. One of these is a mica sheet, which is physically very similar to regular cereal box cardboard. By printing an image on another sheet of mica and placing both of these in a frame, it is possible […]

Polymer composites with graphene

With the increasing effects of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions on climate change, there is also increasing interest to alternatives to internal combustion engines for mobility. Battery electric vehicles are one route, and another is fuel cells. There is increasing interest in polymer composites that are not only mechanically strong and lightweight, but also have […]

Commercialization of Selective Hybrid High Throughput Fused Direct and Filament Deposition Modeling System

While newer, advanced Filament Fused Deposition Modeling (FFDM) 3D printing systems for additive manufacturing of plastics products have been designed in order to increase rate productions similar to conventional plastic transformation processes. Up to the date hybrid configurations that can achieve for printing selectively high deposition rates without compromising part quality hasn’t yet been fully […]

Évaluation archéologique, historique et mise en valeur de l’ancien village de l’Anse St-Étienne dans le Bas-Saguenay

Le village de St-Étienne constitue l’un des plus anciens villages de compagnie du Québec et le plus ancien dans la région du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Opéré entre 1882 et 1900, ce village est un superbe exemple du contexte économique du XIXe siècle, alors que la totalité des infrastructures et services municipaux relève de la mono-industrie qui exploite […]

We Are Here: Healthcare Experiences of LGBTQ* Individuals Assigned Female at Birth with Chronic Health Conditions

Members of the LGBTQ+ community assigned female at birth are at a disproportionate risk of developing CHC, such as mental health disorders, addiction, obesity, heart conditions, and asthma (Dearing & Hequemboug, 2014; Eliason, 2014). The proposed mixed methods study will explore the experiences of members of the 2SLGBTQQIA community assigned female at birth with chronic […]
