Selecting the ideal employee or trainee can be a difficult task. A situational judgement test (SJTs) is one type of test that can help identify the best applicants. However, due to the open-ended nature of such a test, test-takers may be able to use online tools or resources like ChatGPT to cheat and fake their […]

Small unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly being used in a wide range of surveillance applications, such as wildlife or crop monitoring. A key limitation restricting broader application is their limited endurance. This project deals with the determination of the flight characteristics of small unmanned aerial vehicles used for aerial observation. A better understanding of those […]

In recent years, weather has been recognized as an important factor that can have a significant impact on consumer behavior in certain industries. Predictive models that incorporate weather data can help industries to adjust their inventory and marketing strategies to optimize sales. This research project focuses on using machine learning and data analytics to determine […]

A typical language test usually consists of four parts: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Both audio and text data from the test takers will be collected and used by the automated scoring system. During the test, some test takers will intentionally/unintentionally provide abnormal answers, which may contain memorized content, repeated sentences, and meaningless or off-topic […]

The global population is aging at an unprecedented rate, increasing the necessity for effective interventions targeting the mental health needs of older adults. The proposed research project is a partnership between Dr. Khoury’s mindfulness research lab at McGill (PhD Intern: Isabel Sadowski) and Super Splendide. We seek to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness […]

The overall purpose of this research is to explore the ways diagnostic assessments enable or disable growth in mathematics understanding for children most impacted by colonialism, in particular Black and Mi’kmaw children in Mi’kma’ki or what we now call Nova Scotia. This research stems from ongoing collaborative relationships in local Mi’kmaw and Black communities that […]

This research project focuses on the integration anonymized signals from sensors. The capture of this data and application provides enhancement and personalization and additional clarity of information to optimize the value of benefits and features for FutureCite membership services.

Hardwood tree species provide many ecological and economic benefits to New Brunswick and across Canada. These benefits relate to biodiversity and habitat, high-quality timber products, and of course maple syrup. Understanding where these species thrive provincially will be necessary to help New Brunswick forests to withstand the challenges posed by climate change. Using relevant and […]

MAE Robotics Inc. is working on a unique robot system called Captive Trajectory System (CTS) for supersonic wind tunnels. The robot will move aerodynamic models and prototypes inside the tunnel to measure and simulate their motion trajectories. This research project will focus on developing and implementing the appropriate robot control architecture, various redundancy resolution schemes, […]

The partner company (AMD) is a major innovator in the field of computer graphics and visualization, they manufacture Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) which are used by many gamers around the world. While playing video games, gamers tend to perform out-of-band actions such as saving the last few minutes of gameplay after a challenging fight in […]

Design of many new products, including transportation vehicles to wind turbines to artificial heart valves, relies on simulation of fluid flow through and around objects. With advances in computational hardware and software, such simulations have become increasingly accurate and reliable. However, these simulations can still be very slow, or even completely fail to produce a […]

Of the five mass extinction events preserved in the fossil record, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction (the so-called “first mass extinction”) is unique in that it had extremely limited long-term impacts. Despite eliminating over 50% of all species on Earth at the time, shallow marine communities around the globe rapidly recovered, providing scientists a unique opportunity […]
