The electrical activity of muscles can be recorded from the skin and used to control external devices. Advances in this technology have the potential to allow a broad range of users with disabilities to control assistive technologies. This project will develop a system that uses sensors embedded in garments to measure muscle signals, and artificial […]

Afin de limiter la dégradation des sols, fortement accélérée par les activités humaines, T2 Environnement, une entreprise de services et conseils en environnement, souhaiterait poursuivre ses efforts en recherche et développement dans ce domaine afin de générer et proposer des solutions innovantes pour ses clients dans le respect de l’environnement. Ainsi, ce projet a pour […]

The portable user friendly devices can help us monitor our health status without any need to refer clinics. This capability is good to timely and efficacious medical interventions. This project aimed at realizing this device by making the key component involved in recognizing the biomarkers. We will synthesize the component at first using available inexpensive […]

The goal of the project is to assess the viability of current synthetic data generation systems. If the generated synthetic data is accurate enough without providing sensitive details it can be used to train machine learning models without needing to share sensitive information. The particular application of this project is to computer logs which can […]

In this Mitacs Cluster project, we aim to investigate and improve performance of deep survival models developed by Ortho Biomed Inc., our industrial collaborator. The main objective is to predict clinical outcomes, such as time of death, and the time of organ failure before and after surgery, more accurately and more efficiently. Architecturally, Ortho Biomed […]

OneCup uses Computer Vision to uniquely identify livestock and wildlife from almost any angle, effectively Face ID for animals, called 360 Live ID. We then track health, growth, activity, nutrition, and phenotypes with the ID. It is a revolutionary idea that will disrupt the agricultural industry. We call our AI for cattle BETSY, or Bovine […]

The distribution of IT products in Canada is complex and constantly changing, with dramatic transformation coming from new digital technologies, changing customer expectations and the constant presence of global competitors. This research will assess the IT Distribution Channels in Canada to understand the changes, and to identify the key attributes for survival and prosperity going […]

Collective memory helps societies access and learn from the knowledge that they have gained through experience in the past, and make better informed decisions at present. When collective memory is explicit and accessible, it facilitates knowledge transfer within the society, helps reach decisions faster, and contributes to preparation for risks. However, access to collective memory […]

Parenting is challenged by the pace of change in information technology, impacting child development and parent-child relationships. Children learn and grow in online environments and their development, perspectives and understanding of the world are impacted by multiple communities, which creates risks to safety, relationships and experiences. Supporting technologies will help bridge this gap, intervening with […]

Cyber attackers can sometimes compromise endpoint machines. They may perform malicious actions that will damage the company. As a result, it is necessary to collect forensics artifacts (Information from the endpoint machine that can be used to trace the attackers’ behaviors) from the compromised machine for investigation. With the information we have, we may reconstruct […]

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 the Historical Black community in Nova Scotia. This research stems from ongoing collaborative relationships with the Delmore Buddy Daye Learning Institute (DBDLI) that has focused on strategies […]

This research addresses the ethical issues that abound in professional design practice. If these issues are identified, they are seldom discussed and mitigated. As such, this research aims to 1) observe human-centered design in action, 2) develop a series of tools, artifacts, and methods—what I refer to as ethical design things—to foreground matters of ethics […]
