Dans mon doctorat, j’étudie les traductions des représentations audiovisuelles des immigrés indiens en comédie. Depuis les années 2010, des artistes prolifiques comme Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari ou Hasan Minhaj contribuent à proposer des images médiatiques nouvelles des Américains d’origine indienne, aidés par des plateformes de diffusion comme Netflix. Ces nouvelles représentations, que je considère comme […]

We are proposing an investigation of techniques and technologies to support media-enhanced group performances that integrate different performative art forms (dance, theatre, clown, voice, choral) with responsive mixed reality technologies and public data sets. We will work with a group of young performers (13-17 years old) and a local Vancouver choreographer to deeply investigate, with […]

Mon projet doctoral examine la création artistique contemporaine japonaise suite à l’accident nucléaire de Fukushima, survenu au Japon en mars 2011. J’étudie plus particulièrement le travail photographique de trois artistes japonais qui permettent de rendre visible la contamination radioactive et observe leur réception. Mes recherches au Japon seront composées de séries d’entrevues avec les artistes […]

The objective of this project is to design and develop interaction techniques for Webspaces in Virtual/Augmented Reality. We will study and understand current techniques to interact with the websites via screens, how users access the information and media presented on the websites and the ways in which this presentation of information can be improved to […]

The Archaeology of Fashion Film project investigates the history of early fashion films (1900-1929) and their impact on contemporary fashion and visual culture. It brings together scholars from the fields of film history, fashion history and media studies to explore the influence of various forms of fashion imagery on the industry itself, and the complex […]

The proposed project provides an intervention on the exclusionary practices, expectations, and development of contemporary VR. The project seeks to produce a Diversity Toolkit document for developers and designers working with VR. Analyzing relevant study data based on ongoing initiatives, the student will draft areas of interest, detailing the contexts conditions that are necessary for […]

Automatic casting applications aim is to accurately recognise facial regions that correspond to a same actor appearing in a movie to produce described video. This project will focus on the tasks of re-identify the face of each principal actors when they appear in different scenes of a movie. This is a challenging task because although […]

Doctoral candidate Yung-Yu Lin is hoping to visit New York to conduct a complete research on George Rochberg’s 50 Caprice Variations for solo violin with Professor Janette Tilley at Lehman College, the City University of New York (CUNY). 50 Caprice Variations draws on a vast array of historical stylistic references from the Baroque to the […]

Understanding the 3D world around us is a key goal in computer science. If we are endowed with 3D understanding, we can solve problems in several areas in computer science such as robotics, fast 3D modelling and physical reasoning. However, it is not clear how 3D objects can be represented because of the high dimensionality […]

Mon projet de recherche porte sur la représentation des personnages féminins dans le narco-cinéma mexicain, un sous-genre de cinéma populaire qui thématise la vie des narcotrafiquants. Le narco-cinéma est consommé par des millions de personnes provenant des classes populaires mexicaines et états-uniennes, et a conséquemment un impact considérable sur l’imaginaire de ces classes.

By looking at an adult website that broadcasts amateur sexcams, this research asks how money – tokens, crypto currencies and traditional currencies, are experienced there, querying their different […]

The objective of the proposed project is to procedurally increase the visible resolution of a coarse liquid simulation within a machine learning pipeline for the visual effects (VFX) industry. We introduce an optical flow-based learning approach to model the deformations between a coarse input liquid simulation and its equivalent at a higher resolution. The deformation […]
