Understanding the 3D world around us is a key goal in computer science. If we are endowed with 3D understanding, we can solve problems in several areas in computer science such as robotics, fast 3D modelling and physical reasoning. However, it is not clear how 3D objects can be represented because of the high dimensionality […]

The remote First Nations communities of Canada suffer from a dire lack of access to emergency response systems and services during times of crises. They lack access to life-saving services such as paramedics, 911 services, and search and rescue services due to their geographic isolation. This often puts them in grave danger and results in […]

Tracking the component configuration and modifications to aircraft within the commercial airline business presents a challenge for manufacturers such as Bombardier with currently available methods. This research problem is significant to the aerospace industry to construct efficient maintenance schedules for different aircraft and to properly evaluate system reliability for safety purposes. The objective of this […]

The main aim of this project is to design a database that provides a simplified way for individuals without the technical background to query information from the database. Such a database will operate on natural language, where the user asks the database a question about information retrieval and it presents the user with suitable answers. […]

The September is an online luxury retailer. In this research project, we are going to design and implement a personalized recommender system to enhance customers’ online shopping experiences. The past transaction data and browsing history as well as the demographic information of customers will be analyzed to identify the purchasing patterns, shopping trends and user […]

Pancratistatin (PST) has been shown to selectively eliminate human cancer cells, but has not been used extensively in clinical trials due to its low availability in nature. Recently, different forms of PST have been synthesized and have demonstrated anti-cancer activity. These synthesized PST molecules have been tested on prostate, pancreatic, osteosarcoma and colorectal cancer cells. […]

In the intestines of people living with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), the balance of beneficial bacteria is shifted. Instead, the intestine is overloaded with potentially harmful bacteria – a phenomenon known as dysbiosis. This shift in bacterial populations is believed to be among the key contributors to the onset of inflammation observed in IBD patients. […]

This research project will focus on factors increasing viewership and revenue on Boat Rocker Media’s digital assets on YouTube. Combination of datasets from various sources such as YouTube revenue reporting, YouTube data and analytics Application Program Interfaces (API’s), and social media will be used in an explanatory analysis and statistical modeling to get new insights.

The research will consist of exploring a new language as well as a new paradigm shift in the orchestration and analytics involved in operating a Fiber optical infrastructure equipped with IP routers and Computers. These computers will be equipped with programmable devices that will allow further instructions and detailing about the next generation of internet’s […]

Massive drifting icebergs frequently threaten offshore operations on the Grand Banks because of their massive size, and great mechanical strength. These ice hazards move erratically which complicates efforts to modify their trajectory or undertake evasive action. This MITACS project aims to improve security of offshore workers and help protect wildlife and the environment by allowing […]
