My main project is the conceptualization, creation, and continuous refinement of my Digital Marketing Masterclass workshops. These workshops are designed to further educate and empower the C-suite, senior technical and strategic management, and the employees of “digital-forward” businesses. There is a huge gap in education currently with regards to what is available for current and […]

Mental health issues are common worldwide and affect people in many ways. These issues include changes and instability in personality and mood, depression and anxiety, withdrawal from events and activities, etc. Computational approaches, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), in the early detection of mental disorders are promising. Even though machine learning […]

Mental health issues are common worldwide and affect people in many ways. In Canada, one in five people are dealing with a mental health disorder. The result of this is high emotional costs to those individuals and their social networks, and high economic costs to the country’s healthcare system. Refresh Wellness intends to offer a […]

Collaborative filtering is a product recommendation technique for making automated product suggestions to a user based on the preference information from similar users. Traditional recommendation algorithms drive personalized recommendations using the data from user purchases and ratings. For e-book retailers, besides user purchases and ratings, product features such as book content and metadata also provide […]

Social media are important ways of interaction between people, creating communities that can engage in order to promote relationships. When used by companies for philanthropic purposes, they can promote actions and donations. The purpose of this research is to understand how engagement can be enhanced through social media communities to get people to help each […]

Individuals with cerebral palsy generally use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices to help them interact socially. The vocabularies provided in these systems are not specifically helpful in communicating during medical emergency or hospital intensive care. This project involves user-centered design and development of a software module for use in such situations, based on a […]

As more and more people record their lives and actions in Social Media, it has become an invaluable resource for the study of society’s opinions and sentiment. From individual life events (e.g., someone’s purchase of a digital camera) to collective events of major societal impact (e.g., the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic), social media has […]

This research project informs an essential part of my broader doctoral research which investigates the aesthetic and rhetoric practices developed by today’s far-right populist movements for their propaganda and communication on social media. Working along with Professor Vijay Mago and DaTALab researchers I will generate, collect, and analyse a wide range of new and original […]

This project is a computational corpus study that considers harmonic integration in the 31 works of Anton Webern (1883–1945). Harmonic integration concerns the relationship between combinations of notes that sound simultaneously (vertical) and consecutively (linear). During the project, I will write code in Python to analyze the 31 works in the corpus and establish empirically […]

Academic journals rarely feature research-creation projects: as such, they are often limited by conventions inherited from print publishing. Recent efforts to create digital and/or online journals can potentially result in new publishing opportunities for scholars and artists. This project will examine how international online f journals in art history, visual studies, and film and media […]

Depuis quelques années, les musées tendent à se responsabiliser socialement et à intégrer les technologies à leurs activités. Ainsi, la recherche vise à étudier les stratégies de médiation culturelle proposées par le Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal par rapport aux nouvelles tendances qui relèvent du champ scientifique de la muséologie. Il s’agit plus précisément de […]
