Traditionally, the Heston model has been calibrated using a combination of least squares, options inference and gradient methods. However, a new calibration technique has recently been developed based on the explicit solution and stochastic calculus techniques. This new method could greatly simplify and improve the accuracy of the process. The explicit price solution and the […]

This study looks at how organizational learning can be applied to enhance the relationships between human organizations and the environment. A team of environmental management professionals at The City of Calgary will work with the intern/researcher to design and test the effectiveness of an organizational learning tool. The tool will be applied to explore principles […]

Hifi Engineering is currently monitoring nearly 3,000 km of pipeline using Fiber-Optic Cables placed along their length. Tiny scratches, called Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), are inscribed into the fiber every 25m. Since the optical length of the fiber depends on the surrounding pressure, these gratings allow the fiber-optic cable to be used as a series […]

A great deal of research supports the conclusion that a transition to a more plant-based food system in Canada would greatly help to improve health and environmental outcomes. Canadians for Responsible Food Policy [CRFP] is considering continuing or beginning to advocate for several concrete policies to support such a transition in Canada. This project will […]

This research project aims to make the Force-Velocity and Power-Velocity Sprinting Profiles more accessible to all athletes. These profiles measure an athlete’s explosive force and speed abilities and can help coaches and medical professionals develop a training program that is tailored to an athlete’s needs. Currently, only elite athletes have access to this tool, but […]

This research project aims to revolutionize construction cost estimation by developing machine learning models for automating residential cost estimation in a prefabricated building company. The project focuses on two goals: creating a revenue forecasting system for business intelligence and automating core processes in the cost estimation department for efficiency and accuracy. The project involves comprehensive […]

Solaris is a growing business which supplies and installs outdoor livings solutions to builders and homeowners. In the transition from a small to midsize business many of our systems need to be evaluated and updated. This project will assist Solaris in addressing challenges we will face as a growing organization. During this project the intern […]

Exotic derivatives of various kinds contribute significantly to the risk exposure that must be managed by banks. In order to be competitive, banks need to assess their risk exposure frequently, and make necessary adjustments to their positions. Assessing risk exposure involves computing valuations of all the assets in their investment portfolio, along with their sensitivities. […]

The proposed project aims to generate wind-optimal aircraft trajectories for the North Atlantic airspace, which will not only benefit the airlines by allowing them to fly the preferred routes and save on carbon emissions, flight time and fuel costs, but also benefit air traffic by providing safe separation between flights through the use of strategic […]

Our project aims to improve our understanding of the limits of exercise capacity by using a novel model for critical power, the highest intensity at which a steady state can be achieved in cycling. We will test whether the modified 3-parameter critical power model fits power-duration data better than existing models. This will involve well-trained […]

This research project aims to improve patients’ understanding of dental procedures through a collaborative learning approach in a dental office. The project involves patients, dental professionals, and researchers working together to create interactive digital artwork that explains different dental treatments. Patients will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences, which will be used […]

Collaboration and Capacity building are required to engage with the challenges and benefits of technical expertise within, and available to, municipal politics and policy, the challenges and benefits of both representative and direct democracy, and the existence of multiple sources of knowledge, including the social sciences, Indigenous knowledges, and local knowledge. This project is the […]
