The goal of this research project is to answer the following two highly-coupled questions concerning essentially all online merchants: (1) which items in my current inventory are highly relevant and should be sold or recommended together? and (2) what new merchandise should be put into my current online store? The key to answering the above […]

This project is intended to investigate and address some of the challenges in the implementation of high quality factor and compact passive components and structures and their application in implementation of active circuit blocks in integrated circuit silicon technology at millimeter wave range of frequency. Advanced deep sub-micron silicon technologies such as SiGe and CMOS […]

Information visualization is gaining importance for analyzing large and complex datasets. There is evidence that user’s performance and satisfaction in working with visualizations can be influenced by cognitive or personality traits. Thus, researches have started investigating how information visualization tools could be made more effective and usable by enabling them to adapt in real-time to […]

The research involved in this internship focuses on the performance and integrity of HTML5. In terms of performance, the intern will design and implement a set of tests that will be used to analyze the performance of HTML5 applications. These tests will focus on measuring the computational performance, network performance, as well as rendering performance […]

Creating computer generated animations and visual effects (VFX) of fluids is a challenging task. The goal of this project is to design novel approaches that ease the creation of fluid simulations for VFX. Four main challenges will be tackled: the simulation of viscous fluids, the gain in geometric details of free surface fluids, the texturing […]

Ce projet de recherche consiste à investiguer et développer le contenu pédagogique nécessaire pour un logiciel de simulation et à valider l’outil auprès d’étudiantes infirmières au baccalauréat. À part les mannequins de haute fidélité utilisés dans certaines écoles infirmières, il n’existe pas à notre connaissance d’outil techno-pédagogique permettant de pratiquer l’évaluation clinique et la documentation […]

Randomly created question and solution problem sets will frequently include scaled images that are generated with a series of variables. These figures contain labels for such things as dimensions, coordinates, angles, sub-titles and vertex names. When images are created manually, labels are placed in a manner which avoids them from obscuring other labels or the […]

Reducing energy consumption is one of many ways to respond to our urgent global need to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To do so, it is important to identify the most effective energy saving strategies and communicate them to energy consumers. Pulse Energy is a company that works to do just that and is always […]

Luxmux sensors will monitor steam quality and water quality for in-situ Thermally Enhanced Heavy Oil Recovery. In Canada, 2 billions of kilograms of steam are produced per year for heavy oil recovery and this amount is expected to double in the next ten years. Each year, heavy oil producers spend $2.3 billions on natural gas […]

The cellular network nowadays faces an uphill battle against the explosive growth of mobile data traffic. Deploying low power radio base stations covering small cells within the current cellular coverage area is a promising approach to significantly boost the network capacity, provide better coverage, and reduce network congestion. Since it is recognized that backhauling the […]

The purpose of this project is to provide insight into how game-based learning can be used to motivate positive workplace behaviour and learning over time. The intern will work with an established industry partner that has deployed a game-based learning platform for the workplace, and analyze user performance and motivation data that the industry partner […]

Quantum computing has emerged as a new paradigm of computation with potentially far-reaching consequences. However, this change in the form, abilities, and characteristics of computation has not been well studied or theorized in communication studies and related fields. This project draws upon Actor-network Theory (ANT) to challenge the assumptions about computation/computers found in current writing […]
