The objective of the project is to investigate how machine learning techniques can be used to detect anomalies in volumes of transactions. This requires the student to conduct a literature review about the topic as well as experimenting with a subset of selected machine learning techniques. The results from the research could help the partner […]

The Canadian swine industry must adapt to current and emerging challenges to remain competitive. In general, the industry is focused on improving efficiencies and reducing costs of production. However, the industry also faces many concerns regarding environmental sustainability and societal acceptance of production that need to be continually addressed. Feed represents approximately 70% of the […]

Intestinal bacteria are now recognized as important for maintaining our health. Many questions remain about how these probiotic or health-promoting bacteria act to influence health, and how to use them to combat the numerous health problems associated with inflammation. The objectives of this research project are to determine how products made by one of these […]

For an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) to make decisions and drive independently on urban streets, the problem at hand can be broken down into many phases, two of which are perception and prediction. Perception refers to the process of extracting valuable information from the environment using data collected by sensors such as LIDAR and camera. This […]

In recent years, deep learning has led to unprecedented advances in a wide range of applications including natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and speech recognition. Despite the abundance of empirical evidence highlighting the success of neural networks, the theoretical properties of deep learning remain poorly understood and have been a subject of active investigation. One […]

The purpose of this research is to create a framework which investigates the different factors that play a role in the effects that SME’s present to a society. This project will be case study based. It will define the differences between the micro-region of Detroit and a macro-region, the country of Brazil. The framework will […]

The goal of this project is to improve and study algorithms and methods for better network connectivity in mobile environment, when multiple, different networks are available. The goals include studying techniques for combining capabilities of independent network links, improve the methods of migrating existing connections between different physical networks, as well as studying the impact […]

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) breaks object components into numerical finite elements and calculate their performance individually. As long as the finite element is small enough, the performance of the entire part can be simply obtained by adding up all the performances of finite elements. However, the giant number of finite elements in 3D models makes […]

The project that you will be working on is titled “Microscope adapter for smart phone camera”. As such we have made quite a bit of progress and have made two prototypes of microscope that can be interfaced with a smartphone. However, now we will like to have advanced features like fluorescent microscopy. So the final […]

The current land registry system in Ontario lacks efficiency and transparency; and is susceptible to information quality problems due to lack of a uniform and integrated system to record and share real-time data about land property transactions across stakeholder organizations. To overcome such issues, many countries are turning to blockchain technology to enable land registration […]

This study will focus on an alternative remote sensing method for crop long-term biomass monitoring and prediction of final yield using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based 3D point cloud data in Southwestern Ontario. Currently, biomass and yield are estimated from statistical and crop growth models. However, statistical models are only applicable for specific area or […]

Electrocardiography or ECG is a technology that can be used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart over a long period of time. Such signals can be utilized for interpreting both the structure and function of the heart. Traditional ECG designs consist of several electrodes that need to be placed directly in contact with […]
