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 […]

The idea behind our collaboration would be the novel synthesis of new electrode materials created from a hybrid of three key components. This being a system of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), decorated with conductive polymer polypyrrole (PPy) and then layered onto a flexible carbon scaffold. The MOFs will provide a template for the PPy to affix […]

This research project investigates the effects of large-scale land use change on organized violence in rural Africa. Through an analysis of contested land in Northern Kenya, this project analyses how the Kenyan Government’s ‘Vision 2030’ project impacts conflicts in the region through large-scale infrastructure and conservation projects. The student is expected to join one of […]

The recent research of producing heart rate signal from a webcam has opened the opportunity for numerous new applications. This technique uses video of the face and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to detect core physiological signals such as heart rate and respiration. We improve the correlation algorithm to make the measurement algorithm has higher fault […]

The objective of this research is to relate the language game proposed by Wittgenstein to design theory in the context of philosophy of Artificial Intelligence. Wittgenstein put forward the theory of language game in his later philosophy, believing that language is a kind of game. Since the process of language game between human beings is […]

Based on current research in the field of genetic disorders, gene therapy – through the use of gene editing tools such as CRISPR – is a promising method to rescue defective genes. Stem cells from patient can provide a compelling in vitro model for gene therapy. In this work we are investigating the effects of […]

Fluidized bed reactors are related to different industrial applications such as petroleum process, synthesis of chemicals, waste treatment and coating of solid particles. Engineers select fluidized beds for catalytic reaction that are highly exothermic, endothermic or explosive. Scale up and back mixing of the gas are the main challenge of this type of reactor. Residence […]

Heart failure is a common cardiovascular disease that is becoming even more prevalent worldwide. The current gold standard treatment for end-stage heart failure is heart transplantation. However, heart transplant therapy is a limited option due to the available number of donors, thus heart pumps emerged to offer circulatory support to patients in the heart transplant […]
