Speculative Sensory Interfaces: Opening a dialogue between differently-abled bodies through sensory interventions

This project will use speculative design methodologies to create wearable technologies (wearables mounted with sensors that can be worn), capable of sending, receiving, and sharing sensory information across differently-abled human bodies. As the participants with different body structures, mobility, and agility move in space wearing aforementioned wearable technologies, proprioceptive information (sense of balance and body […]

Femmes et journalistes à l’ère numérique : recherche expérientielle de pratiques journalistiques sur les enjeux de genre

Je vais réaliser des entretiens avec des journalistes belges pour comprendre quels sont les obstacles et/ou les possibilités qu’elles rencontrent lorsqu’elles veulent produire des nouvelles sur des questions de genre (inégalités, points de vue divergents, remise en question des lois , etc). Ces entretiens serviront à créer un « coffre à outils » en partenariat […]

La vie musicale dans l’Autriche d’après-guerre (1945-1949)

Mes travaux de recherche portent sur la vie musicale en Autriche d’après-guerre (1945-1949) et se déclinent en deux volets. D’une part, j’étudie la culture de commémoration musicale, et plus spécifiquement, les festivités organisées pour commémorer certains compositeurs considérés comme « classiques » et « nationaux » de 1945 à 1949 (Beethoven, Bruckner, Schubert, Brahms et […]

Mobile shape-changing haptic props for virtual reality

The proposed project is built around combining two existing projects, one situated at Carleton and the other situated at NAIST. Carleton has developed a tactile device which can both be tracked for use with Virtual Reality and can also change shape to simulate the tactile feel of various objects presented in a virtual environment. The […]

Retaining observational information when transmitting markerless motion capture data

Recent advances in 3D camera technology and associated software is enabling clinical assessments of function to be undertaken in real world clinical settings, rather than in specialized bio-mechanics laboratories. Working in collaboration with Kinetisense Inc, an SME from Medicine Hat Alberta, a patented markerless motion capture technology has been developed to support a wide range […]

Le potentiel subversif de la pratique de la boxe contre l’essentialisation de la violence des femmes. Ethnographie dans deux clubs de boxe à Tunis

À travers l’étude de la pratique de la boxe par les femmes, mon travail vise à interroger le caractère dépossédant de l’essentialisation de la violence féminine, particulièrement l’assignation des femmes à l’a-violence, et à reconnaître en elles des actrices capables de mobiliser leurs corps pour se défendre, voire agresser. Ma recherche vise également à questionner […]

Anonymity in the context of Data-neighborhoods

The project investigates the transformation of anonymity in times of networked-data by looking into the history of urban neighborhood design and its relation to neighborhood-related machine learning algorithms, such as k-nearest-neighbor (KNN). This method analyzes behavioral patterns to form groups (neighborhoods) of actors with the same characteristics (neighbors). This groupingis then deployed to understand and […]

Advancing the reliability of social media discourse as a measure of public sentiment about COVID-19

The proposed research is to develop a method for making valid, representative estimates of public opinion from sufficiently large and diverse non-probability samples such as social media data. We aim to demonstrate the theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions to the field of public opinion research by demonstrating the reliability and utility of this method in […]
