Dans le cadre de son stage au média d’information Le Devoir, le stagiaire intégrera le Laboratoire d’innovation numérique et aura pour mandat de produire deux dossiers journalistiques qui devront tirer profit du potentiel novateur des formats numériques (contenu multimédia, interactif et narratif). Chaque dossier devra se décliner en un reportage écrit de long format sur […]

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability. One area of injury prevention research is to use geographic information systems to identify at-risk neighbourhoods for targeted intervention. However, few studies have been conducted to investigate the geographical distribution of TBI in Canada. The proposed project is based on the linked trauma […]

The popularity of autonomous survey vessels (ASVs) are rapidly increasing due to their low-cost, efficiency, ease of operations, and safety benefits. These systems are applied to ocean mapping survey operations that would have traditionally been completed by small, crewed vessels using either single beam or multibeam echosounder systems. To maintain the simplicity of the ASV, […]

Le projet propose une analyse de segmentation des donateurs individuels des Grands Ballets Canadiens. L’analyse sera effectuée avec des données personnelles détenues par l’organisme.

One of the practical methods for treating powdery mildew is to use a UV lighting system carried by an autonomous robot. The height of the plants can be different from one greenhouse to another or even within the same greenhouse. Hence, having a varying-height UV lighting system would be essential. . To enhance the robot’s […]

The use of business process modeling (BPM) and analytics has demonstrated exceptional results in improving efficiency and effectiveness in various industries. Health care processes however, are characterized by uncertain, exception and continual evolution. This project aims to apply flexible, adaptive and evolutionary process modeling protocols coupled with operations research and other analytic methods to the […]

The goal of this project is to conduct market research and landscape analysis for potential areas that We-Watch may enter. The intern will be responsible for leveraging surveys conducted by We-Watch to find the best customer groups. Additionally, the intern will develop various customer personas in order to draft recommendations for which features the firm […]

The goal of this project is to improve the process by which professional energy managers and utility company personnel analyze large amounts of data related to energy consumption. This process is often exploratory, meaning that many analysis questions are open-ended and cannot be phrased as a directed query. Open-ended exploration can be supported by information […]

2020 and 2021 have seen an unprecedented number of natural disasters. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce, 2020 was the 5th warmest year ever recorded with a record number of tropical storms and wildfires throughout North America.
