This research project makes use of computer-based models in order to investigate the high temperature behavior of Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors. The GaN technology is finding more and more applications in different sectors like energy, transportation, and industrial systems due to the possibility of making power converters smaller and more efficient. The understanding gained […]

High-speed communication systems used in satellites and advanced physics experiments face a significant challenge: they must be both incredibly fast and resilient enough to survive intense radiation. Often, the techniques used to make microchips radiation-proof also make them slow. This research project aims to solve this dilemma by designing a specialized microchip that acts as […]

Les problèmes de santé mentale (anxiété, dépression, etc.) touchent aujourd’hui plus de 650 millions de personnes à travers le monde. Les premiers symptômes apparaissent habituellement entre 14 et 24 ans. Bien que les solutions humaines et technologiques existent, il est difficile de trouver la bonne solution au bon moment. Le projet est de proposer un […]

Due to rapid development of technology, such as the Internet of Things, collecting data is easier and cheaper than ever before. As a result, municipal governments and urban centres across Canada are being inundated with data—data that have potential to improve public service. Despite this, local governments do not have enough data expertise to extract […]

Quantum computers are believed to offer significant advantages over classical computers, specifically in solving non-deterministic polynomially hard problems. One of the known schemes of quantum computation is quantum annealing, which is suitable for solving many types of hard optimization problems with a wide range of applications including machine learning, finance, security, and healthcare. D-Wave Systems […]

Our proposed research investigates how K-12 teachers learn and customize digital classroom tools and learning management systems and how they share this information with each other. In particular, we will be working with our partner Microsoft to investigate the use and customization of the recently developed OneNote Class Notebooks software that is increasingly being used […]

Unlike services provided by current mobile networks only focus on voice and data, the services provided by 5G networks can range from high data rate services (e.g., VR) to ultra-reliable low latency communication (e.g., vehicle communication). Therefore, a more flexible and effective 5G mobile network is expected to be designed and operated. Network virtualization and […]

In this research, we propose a model learning documents to fixed-length embedding vector space. This is meaningful, because in vector space, we can find similar documents or measure the relations between documents by simple linear algebra calculation. One of state-of-the-art methods is to apply deep Convolutional Neural Network on language sequences and thus learn different […]

The “Intelligent Camera Switching” research project’s goal is to understand how multiple cameras can be utilized in a meeting space to ensure that remote participants have the best view of the people and activities that take place in the room. This “Best view” should be thought of as providing the best context for activities. A […]

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are used to store data records of activities underlying various business processes, from which Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are derived, providing visibility into the organization. How well the recorded information adheres to business processes and how well those are defined and implemented affect data quality, determining how KPIs accurately portray […]

Blockchain is an emerging technology that has the potential to change the way financial participants transact with each other. It enables direct transfer of value and financial assets between participants over networks without the need for a central authority (internet of value). It does this by combining the functionality of different technologies – distributed systems, […]

Using web crawling technology in coordination with state of the art machine learning techniques, the project aims to mine useful, structured information about the world’s suppliers from the web. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have increased the viability of such autonomous systems for extracting coherent information from arbitrary human-produced content. By leveraging these technologies, our […]
