Ce projet de recherche propose une étude comparative des politiques de soutien aux personnes vivant seules en France et au Québec, deux contextes ayant des approches distinctes face à cette catégorie de population. Les individus vivant seuls, en augmentation constante dans les sociétés occidentales, présentent souvent des caractéristiques socio-économiques spécifiques, comme des revenus et des […]

The proposed project aims to enhance the security of Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure by developing advanced systems that detect and prevent cyber-attacks. The project will focus on building an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to protect against threats like Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM) and Denial of Service/Distributed Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) […]

The goal of this project is to better understand the factors or barriers that may be hindering a stronger economic recovery in rural Ontario from the COVID-19 Pandemic; and build upon our understanding of how to enhance the resilience and robustness of rural communities in Ontario. To achieve this goal, a comparative jurisdictional scan between […]

The project, “Assessing the Environmental Impacts of Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling in British Columbia,” aims to evaluate the potential benefits of recycling lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles (EVs) in the region. As British Columbia increases its adoption of zero-emission vehicles, there is a growing need to address the environmental impacts of sourcing materials like lithium, […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à évaluer la motivation à réviser d’élèves du premier secondaire dans un contexte de dictées numériques et manuscrites. Les dictées numériques seront réalisées par l’entremise d’ÉvadiGraphe, qui est un outil numérique permettant la réalisation de dictées diagnostiques offrant une rétroaction simultanée et détaillée sur les types d’erreurs orthographiques. Le projet […]

Dabbawala Kingston: Delivery Stories explores contemporary challenges around migrant labor and study abroad. This research-creation documentary film shines a light on a recent development in Canada and the world more generally: migrants laboring in service work on student visas. Our investigation of this nexus through documentary film allows Dabbawala Kingston to also tell the multi-faceted […]

This project aims to critically analyze the Erba Massacre case, in which an Italian couple, Rosa Bazzi and Olindo Romano, were convicted of murder but may have falsely confessed to the crime. Many experts believe their confessions were influenced by a combination of psychological factors and problematic police interviewing techniques. By examining case materials such […]

The use of large data sets in today’s world necessitates robust methods for classifying data. Topological data analysis (TDA) studies the shape of data collected in a geometric space. It has been applied to numerous data analysis problems, from glass manufacturing to cancer research. TDA involves examining the data at different distances. TDA constructs a […]

Cooperative robotics in soft tissue surgery represents an innovative approach aimed at improving surgical precision, control, and safety. Soft tissue procedures are challenging due to the delicate, deformable nature of tissues and the close proximity to critical structures, requiring exceptional accuracy to avoid complications. Cooperative robotic systems are designed to work directly alongside surgeons, amplifying […]

This collaborative project, involving the University of Saskatchewan and Université de Lorraine in France, seeks to advance our understanding of bioplastics—environmentally-friendly materials made by combining polymers with natural fibers like flax or hemp. Our aim is to develop models that can predict how these materials behave under different conditions. By studying the small-scale structures of […]

In 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 76/255, hailing the bicycle as a form of sustainable transportation, recognizing “that the bicycle can serve as a tool for development and as a means not just of transportation but also of access to education, health care and sport” (UN General Assembly, 2022, p. 2). Indeed, […]

Design skills are increasingly recognized as a core competency for software professionals. Unfortunately, these skills are difficult to teach because design requires freedom and open-ended thinking, but new designers require a structured process to keep them from being overwhelmed by possibilities. Students need clearly communicated expectations and an easy way of tracking responsibilities to keep […]
