This research project focuses on using advanced machine learning techniques to better predict stock prices, specifically targeting stocks from the S&P 500. By combining powerful deep learning methods—such as LSTM and GRU networks—with adaptive attention mechanisms inspired by Transformer models, the project aims to create forecasting systems that can dynamically adapt to changing market conditions, […]

Le stagiaire participera au développement d’un bracelet intelligent visant à améliorer la mesure de la pression artérielle (PA) en y intégrant un capteur d’électrocardiogramme (ECG). Ce projet repose sur les travaux d’une doctorante qui développe un dispositif innovant pour suivre la PA au quotidien, et d’une postdoctorante qui cherche à affiner la précision des modèles […]

In this project, we will utilize thermal feedback for target position identification in a virtual environment, e.g., allow users to know the location and distance of a virtual object with respect to their position based on the location and intensity of the thermal feedback. Our goal is to design and develop a new VR application […]

The past decade has revolutionized the astronomical observation of black holes. In 2015, the gravitational waves generated by the merger of two black holes were detected, which confirmed the predictions of general relativity and led to a Nobel prize. In 2019, an array of telescopes spread across the globe took the first image of a […]

Marine renewable energy (MRE) has the potential to play a transformative role in the global transition to clean energy, with Canada uniquely positioned to benefit from its vast ocean resources. However, MRE technologies remain in the early stages of development, requiring significant innovation to become commercially viable. This project aims to accelerate MRE advancement by […]

It is estimated that over 12 million tons of plastic enter our oceans annually, which slowly break down creating microplastics less than 5mm in size. In the past decade, the role microbes play in this degradation has been explored as they possess the ability to metabolize plastic, using it as an energy source. In this […]

Dental caries can increase in severity if left untreated and result in deep carious lesions. Repairing these deep carious lesions routinely involves pulp capping, a procedure during which the tooth pulp can be accidentally exposed, allowing bacteria to enter the pulp and cause infection. Pulp capping failure rates are high, and retreatment may involve root […]
