This project will be a collaboration between the School of Interactive Arts at Simon Fraser University and Science World in Vancouver, British Columbia. A portable low-cost set of tools will be assembled to support “maker” activities, educational do-it-yourself building project that use electronics and personal fabrication technology. Personal fabrication technology refers to a new generation […]

The research project is focused on the relationship between cancer and telomeres. It is intended to be a functional investigation of the dynamics of TERRA, a long non coding RNA transcribed at telomeres, and hTR, the telomerase RNA subunit, in human cancer cells. TERRA is an important molecule implicated in telomere maintenance and genome stability. […]

Ce projet de recherche, en cours, est mis en place en concertation avec les principaux acteurs de la filière laitière québécoise principalement les producteurs bovins, le ministère de l’agriculture, les chercheurs de la faculté de médecine vétérinaire et l’association des médecins vétérinaires praticiens du Québec. Le but de ce travail est d’améliorer les connaissances sur […]

The National Engineering Research Center for E-learning in Central China Normal University is a pioneer research center in the field of education, and we have theories and tools of education and education informatization assessment in the field of learning and education. One main objective for our group is to effectively design students’ assessment criteria of […]

Schubert calculus is a well-established area of modern geometry that studies configurations and intersections of linear subspaces. Since its invention more than a century ago, it became one of the fundamental tools in different areas of mathematics, physics and computer science that deal with solving various types of linear equations. A typical question which is […]

The research conducted in Montreal focuses on studying the role of the European Union (EU) in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) through an innovative outside-in mapping. Three dimensions of the EU’s role are examined: its environmental ambition, leadership and diplomatic activity. The project is innovative because of a twofold reason. First, counterbalancing the literature’s […]

I will be working with Associate Professor Dr. Sasha Dall from Exeter University, who is a well-known Mathematical Ecologist. He and his lab are using game theory modeling to describe evolutionary outcomes. Although I often interact with mathematicians and economist at the U of C, I have been missing direct interactions with specialists in my […]

Density-based clustering is a statistical learning technique that aims at finding high density regions in the data separated by low density regions, finding applications in virtually all fields of knowledge. Hierarchical density-based clustering goes one step beyond and finds a hierarchy of density-based clusters at different density levels according to a user-defined density smoothing parameter. […]

In order to a facilitate a productive dialogue about contemporary Canadian race, ethnicity and religious rights, my research project entails the following three components: 1- an interactive artistic installation; 2- data collection from the target audience in response to the installation using sensor-based software application; 3- public visualisation of such data in the form of […]

Computer simulations provide a safe alternative to taking a trial-and-error approach in the real-world. If a simulating intervention is found to be inefficient or even harmful, then it can be canceled without causing harm to real individuals. Consequently, simulations are increasingly sought after for complex social problems such as homelessness and the spread of the […]

The goal of this project can be divided into three subobjectives. First, we need to propose, implement and train an accurate eye tracking model on the server, then migrate it to an embedded platform with a simple application that can run the model. Finally, we need to experiment different pruning methods for the network and […]

La généalogie procède d’une recherche de parenté, de filiation qui nous rattache à un contexte de société. Les archives, autrefois secrètes et dévolues aux experts (historiens et chercheurs), connaissent un regain d’intérêt informationnel mais aussi émotionnel tant au niveau concret qu’un niveau virtuel. La généalogie juive est en marge du mouvement car elle témoigne souvent […]
