Data management on future hardware and cloud environments

Data management systems are the backbone of the modern society powering many impactful applications. As data volume and the need for fast data processing continue to grow, it is paramount for data management software to evolve and provide high performance. This in turn must be done by co-designing data management software with the underlying hardware […]

Developing machine learning tools for routine clinical EEG

The proposed project is part of a large-scale collaboration between SFU’s Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience Institute (BCNI) and Fraser Health Authority (FHA) in the domain of AI applied to clinical electroencephalographic (EEG) scans recorded and evaluated in the process of diagnostic workup in FHA’s public hospitals (n = 40’000). The key goal of the SFU/FHA […]

Advanced Adaptivity and Personalization in Learning Systems through Collaborative Recommendations Year Two

Learning Systems are among the most popular e-learning tools in today’s education and training. Most e-Learning systems do not take into account individual aspects of learners (e.g., their goal, experiences, existing knowledge, learning style etc.).The primary goal of the proposed research is to offer rich adaptivity by combining information from a learner’s profile (e.g. levels, […]

Fermionic Molecular Dynamics simulations of quantum systems

In the last few decades, molecular dynamics computer simulations have become increasingly important to unravel and understand the mechanisms of (bio)molecular processes, significant for a myriad of pharmaceutical and/or industrial applications. Although these molecular systems should be considered on the microscopic quantum mechanical level, they are typically approximated by the macroscopic Newtonian laws because of […]

Nuclear structure of 116Sn studied through 115Sn(n, ?)

A nucleus of tin composed of 50 protons and 66 neutrons, called 116Sn, is the subject of our investigation. Only certain energies are available to nuclei at any one time, and when a nucleus reaches one of these energy states, it acquires features unique to that state. To create the examined nucleus, a beam of […]

Leveraging Computer Vision to improve the estimation of Postural Balance.

Improving postural balance is a part of many rehabilitation programs and plays an important role in clinical evaluation of residual motor ability. The assessment of center of pressure (COP) displacement is commonly done by laboratory-grade force plates that are expensive and require specific measurement set-up. The Nintendo Wii Balance Board (WBB) was proposed as an […]
