Geo-Distributed Serverless Computing Systems

The proposed research project aims to address a limitation in serverless computing, which is a popular technology for building scalable applications in the cloud. Currently, serverless functions are restricted to run within a specific region, which can lead to performance and cost implications when dealing with external requests from different geographical locations. The project proposes […]

Cancel Culture: Who, What, Where, When and Why

Cancel culture has rapidly developed into a social phenomenon sweeping through the internet as a new-age moral enforcement mechanism. When individuals call out others for their actions (past or present), they are attempting to bring attention to said others in order to bring about a form of justice. As social media has provided a medium […]

Thermodynamic and phase equilibrium modeling for inert anode species dissolved in the electrolyte used for aluminum production

Currently, aluminum is produced with the Hall-Héroult process. Usually, consumable carbon anodes are used, thus leading to high rate of emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment. Anodes based on a new carbon-free material are being developed in Québec by Elysis, which originated from a partnership between Alcoa and Rio Tinto. This would be very […]

Evaluating Learning Rules in Visual Perceptual Learning Using Deep Neural Networks

This research project aims to explore and outline the implications of supervised and reinforcement learning dynamics in Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) with regard to Visual Perceptual Learning (VPL). DNNs, which are hierarchical computational models inspired by the biological brain, will be used to simulate various VPL tasks. The focus is on assessing how these distinct […]

Towards a theory of territorial justice

The research project aims to study how the current dynamics of spatial production determine the pattern of global inequality, how the urban “way of life” is shaping the appropriation of natural spaces and what elements can configure a theory of justice that contributes to a positive redefinition of territorial policies. Faced with a context and, […]

The Development of Chan and Pure Land Buddhism in the Middle Tang Dynasty

Looking back at the history of Buddhism in medieval China, more and more scholars believe that the Tang Dynasty was a significant turning point in the development of Buddhist schools. Before the mid-Tang Dynasty, various Buddhist sects developed well.However, the southern Chan and the Pure Land were the dominant sects after the mid-Tang Dynasty. Furthermore, […]

Mécanismes corticaux de récupération du mouvement

Environ deux tiers des blessures à la moelle épinière touchent la région cervicale, causant une tétraplégie. Au Canada, 40 000 personnes ont une fonction de bras et de main réduite à cause de ces blessures. Même si certains conservent un mouvement volontaire partiel, la récupération est souvent limitée. Les nouvelles technologies neuroprothétiques cherchent à améliorer […]

AI for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy decision support

My project’s goal is to improve the model, which predicts in real-time zones, where it is safe to dissect during laparoscopic surgery. I am going to work on the ways to mitigate tool bias of the current model, as it presence could result into misleading of the surgeon, who performs an operation and, as a […]
