This research investigation aims to assess a set of well known NP-Hard problems that are currently only solvable with an approximation, and prototype implementations of a general solution to their class of problem previously developed by 1QBit. This requires a series literature and prior art reviews, prior to the development of new algorithms and code […]

Recent years have witnessed a boom in the construction of modern high-rise buildings in megacities around the world. It is important to design a high-rise building that can effectively withstand both wind and earthquake loads. Nonetheless, in current practice, the design of high-rise buildings for wind and earthquakes is done independently. Hence, there is an […]

Classroom response tools such as the ‘clicker’ are devices that students use in class to answer multiple-choice questions. Many studies have shown that clickers can lead to increased learning when properly used. Learning Catalytics is a new web-based tool marketed by Pearson that is meant to replace clickers. While Learning Catalytics offers more features than […]

This project explores how different groups within the Turkish-speaking Cypriot community in Northern Cyprus remember the island’s history of conflict and how those memories shape their relationships and the future of the unresolved conflict. It focuses on two groups: native Turkish Cypriots born and raised on the island and naturalized citizens of the de facto […]

Malgré ses ressources naturelles abondantes (uranium, or, pétrole), le Niger, pays d’Afrique subsaharienne reste confronté à un taux d’extrême pauvreté de 52 % et peine à attirer des IDE. Ceux reçus, concentrés dans le secteur extractif, sont très volatiles et peu bénéfiques pour l’économie, un paradoxe dû à un cadre juridique peu contraignant, de faibles […]

Ce projet vise à soutenir l’implantation d’une technologie d’intelligence artificielle développée par Flow Factor, utilisée dans le domaine de la santé mentale pour automatiser certaines tâches administratives et cliniques. Dans un contexte aussi sensible que celui de la relation d’aide, l’introduction de nouvelles technologies peut susciter des préoccupations ou des résistances. Le projet consistera donc […]

This research project analyzes how South Korean TV dramas, particularly King the Land (2023), portray masculinity and why these representations appeal to Western audiences like those in Canada and Brazil. By studying cinematic techniques and cultural themes, the project aims to understand how these dramas shape global perceptions of South Korean men and culture. The […]

Ce texte propose plusieurs idées qui annoncent la Modernité des Lumières, quoiqu’il soit près d’un siècle en avance. Le texte est abondamment bâti sur la littérature ancienne (sont tirés de […]

This research project investigates how disaster memorial spaces such as museums, monuments, and preserved sites contribute to collective memory and public engagement in different cultural contexts. Focusing on case studies in Japan and drawing comparisons with prior research in Türkiye, the project examines how spatial design, narrative construction, and visitor interaction shape societal understandings of […]

Ultracoustics Technologies Ltd. is developing ultrasensitive optical microphones to detect high-frequency sounds (20 kHz–2 MHz) for industrial applications like non-destructive testing (NDT) and leak detection. While the technology is proven, the company lacks market-ready products and a clear commercialization path. This Mitacs Business Strategy Internship project will bridge that gap by: (1) finalizing a certified […]

This project will support the early development of CORIMA, a new digital platform designed to help ports and other industries improve how different organizations work together to manage safety and risk. The platform is based on research done at Dalhousie University and uses a systems-thinking approach to identify gaps in coordination that can lead to […]
