the motion relationship between viewers and visualizations can affect readability and usability of data in various application contexts. Our previous research (10.1109/TVCG.2022.3184993) showed that motion factors such as moving speed and movement trajectory impact reading accuracy. Nevertheless, we still do not know how visualizations should be designed in real scenarios such as when both viewers […]

Easy Platter is looking to scale nationally. For which, we need to meet 2 primary objectives: 1) Build a chef onboarding platform that enables chefs across Canada to sign up 2) Optimize the customer journey by creating stickiness on the platform This project is key for Easy Platter as we move from a NS based […]

Nous proposons la mise en œuvre de circuits de traitement optique utilisant des réseaux de sous-longueur d’onde qui est un type spécial de guide d’onde qui permet la manipulation des propriétés optiques résultant en des dispositifs avec des performances sans précédent. Nous utiliserons du nitrure de silicium pour la mise en œuvre car il s’agit […]

Il existe un défi omniprésent dans la mise en œuvre de nouvelles technologies de communication privées : la nécessité de faire confiance à l’appareil. Comment s’assurer qu’un appareil (soi-disant sécurisé) met en œuvre son protocole cryptographique comme prévu ? La communication quantique vise à résoudre ces problèmes en fournissant une communication sécurisée garantie par les […]

Encoding information in quantum states is the new era of communication known as quantum communication. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the building block of quantum communication making a distribution of a secret key between two parties. The quantum states can be two-dimensions (qubit) or d-dimensions (qudit) quantum states defined in different degrees of freedom (e.g., […]

Tel qu’il a émergé dans la Silicon Valley autour du modèle de la « start-up », le monde de l’entrepreneuriat numérique s’est fondé sur des valeurs d’ouverture, d’inclusion et de liberté, laissant imaginer le respect d’une égalité professionnelle. Pourtant, alors que l’écosystème des start-up québécois est en pleine expansion, les femmes ne représentent que 15 […]

The proposed research project aims to address the issue of language endangerment and mother tongue education through a “citizen science” methodology in the remote Zangskar valley (Ladakh, India). In particular, the project seeks to test whether a citizen science approach can be an effective and sustainable way of documenting and revitalizing the endangered Zangskari language. […]

Emulating topological phases of matter in photonic systems appears particularly promising for engineering new generations of quantum devices more resilient to noise or external perturbations. Indeed, the great versatility of these platforms could allow developing specific architectures that have no counterparts in condensed matter. The goal of this project is to experimentally explore the fundamental […]

Modern code review (MCR) is broadly adopted as an established and effective software quality assurance practice, with an increasing number of open-source as well as commercial software projects that adopt code review as a crucial practice. The MCR process is most effective when developers follow best practices, such as efficient, collaborative and timely review discussions […]

The In-Place Technology Platform project with N. Chandolias and Alkemie Atelier, under the supervision of Dr P. Shrivastava addresses the problem of how people in everyday as well as rehearsed situations can use site-specific media to enrich public spaces: “place-making.” Alkemie will be able to develop specific projects for artist groups that can co-design meaningful […]

Les logiciels de simulation numérique humaine permettent aux ergonomes et aux designers d’analyser le profil des tâches de travail de manière ergonomique et s’assurer en fin de compte de l’optimisation de la tâche. Les logiciels de simulation actuelle demande un temps de mise en forme par rapport au temps de simulation. Une grande partie de […]

Robotic sensor networks (RSN) are increasingly applied to Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). In such an application, a RSN is deployed to safe-guard some critical infrastructure (e.g., building, pipeline, etc.) in a secure and reliable fashion. By actively considering risk as a major driving force, this project aims at deciding on the optimal configuration of an […]
