This research project aims to address the growing interest in predicting clinical outcomes using machine learning (ML) approaches applied to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data. The primary objective of this study is to develop representations of both EMR and text data found in medical notes using current state-of-the-art ML techniques. In particular, this research proposes […]

This research project aims to improve epilepsy treatment by developing a robotic-based method for testing wearable seizure detection devices. The project will create a robotic system that can simulate seizures, providing realistic data to help refine and test machine learning algorithms for detecting seizures more accurately. The goal is to address the limitations of current […]

Advanced persistent threat (APT) groups, as well as those sponsored by a nation-state, often aim to gain undetected access to a network and then remain silently persistent, establish a backdoor, and steal data, as opposed to causing damage. APT groups use different tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) at various stages of cyberattacks. The continuous and […]

Central Banking Digital Currency (CBDC) is a digitalized version of cash. It seeks to preserve all the properties and characteristics of the monetary unit, the most famous of which are: a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a unit of account. Using machine learning techniques, the student will answer questions about how quickly […]

To conduct research and provide a feasible solution to create an AI-based script builder to automate the company’s pay-by-web transaction process. The pay-by-web transaction process includes many steps. These are steps such as extracting data from different sources and monitoring email inboxes as well as verifying payment information. The process also involves identifying the correct […]

This landmark project was built by Dr. Jessica Dolan with leadership at the Indigenous organization Plenty Canada, and the Conservation Through Reconciliation Partnership team at University of Guelph. Working closely in collaboration with Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg educators and culture-bearers, the team is combining plant biology surveys in the Greenbelt region of Southern Ontario, with historical […]

The research project aims to develop a portable, wireless interface for implantable medical devices that monitor brain activity in patients with conditions such as epilepsy and motor disorders. This new software will allow for continuous, unrestricted measurement of brain activity, enabling doctors to collect high-quality data in patients’ natural environments. The interface will wirelessly transmit […]

A key requirement for returning to societal and economic normality is the evaluation and surveillanceof SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunity. The proposed technologies described herein, enable a safe and effectivediagnostic test that can quickly provide an easily interpreted result for SARS-CoV-2 immunity, all without complicated equipment, expensive reagents, or high-level biosafety containment facilities. Such a system […]

Vaccination remains the most effective preventative measure for influenza infection. Seasonal influenza epidemics and the emergence of pandemic strains have increased the global demand for influenza vaccines, putting significant pressure on vaccine manufacturers. However, current vaccine manufacturing strategies rely primarily upon production in eggs, an age-old method that needs to be significantly improved. Recently, research […]

Understanding the current panorama of threat actor groups worldwide is critical to building efficient cybersecurity programs. Information about threat actor groups’ motivations, tools, tactics and techniques they use to attack, and the type of targets they have in their sights provide valuable information to cybersecurity teams. To achieve this goal is essential to generate intelligence […]

Malicious adversaries are increasingly aiming to bypass security controls. There is a race to “owning” vulnerable machines and it is advantageous to malicious adversaries if the existing vulnerabilities are not patched. The research will be performed on a vulnerability assessment and management platform, specifically designed to assist organizations in identifying and mitigating cyber risks. It […]

This research project aims to develop cost-effective solutions to aid organizations in defending against cyber-attacks. With limited resources, security operations centers are struggling to defend against the vast volume of cyber-attacks. The project proposes reducing the work effort and amount of labor needed to perform tasks such as manual inspection and incident responses. By enhancing […]
