Multiple sclerosis (MS), a progressive disease of the brain and spinal cord, affects millions globally, including 93,500 Canadians. With one of the highest existing global MS rates, the number of Canadians living with MS is expected to increase to 133,600 by 2031 and the economic burden to reach $2 billion by the same date. Treatments […]

The pharmaceutical industry relies on a process known as batch manufacturing to supply their goods to the public. Each batch takes time to ends, involves many parameters and is very expensive. Quality tests are performed at the end of each batch. The calibration of parameters is a crucial task and Design of Experiment (DoE) is […]

This SEF/MITACS proposal seeks to develop a curriculum about mining and local economic development. The content of the curriculum is divided into two main parts: a) mining life cycle and its phases and b) the opportunities that mining activities can create to local communities. The ultimate goal in developing this curriculum is to create a […]

This research project aims to determine how small and medium-sized businesses can use data intelligence software to improve reporting on their environmental footprint. The number of companies choosing to transparently report on their entire environmental and societal impacts have been increasing, including smaller businesses. As larger companies and corporates have been experimenting on the best […]

Aging and degradation of infrastructures pose significant safety concerns, especially in light of increased use of these structures. The economic downturn further exacerbates such concerns, especially for critical structures such as bridges, where replacement is infeasible, and maintenance and repair are expensive. The significance of implementing long-term structural health monitoring systems for large-scale bridges, in […]

Due to the fast mobility of LEO satellites, ground users need to switch between LEO satellites frequently to keep the connection with the satellite network. The process of switching between satellites is called the handover process. Every handover process is associated with signalling overhead, processing delays, and data packet losses. The optimization of the handover […]

The partner organization Croesus aims to provide its customers with a software solution for providing a natural language explanation of fluctuations in investment returns. The proposed research project offers an artificial intelligence-based solution which would provide such an explanation by summarizing financial documents in a way that answers the user’s question. An example of such […]

This project is aimed at understanding evaluating and reviewing gene therapy methodologies used in products in development, assessing the risk and safety and regulatory investigations in different regions of the world. There is limited guidance and regulatory expertise in this area and current drug candidates are being dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the […]

Generation and transmission of ultra-large amounts of energy from renewable resources, such as wind and solar PV power, is on the rise globally. This has unprecedented implication on the operation of modern power systems, including challenges with the natural intermittency of renewables resources, stability, and security of the system following naturally occurring abnormalities. This project […]

La plupart des travaux actuels sur la détection des intrusions se concentre sur la détection et l’analyse des attaques. Peu de travaux ont été réalisés sur l’analyse du comportement des attaquants eux-mêmes. Ce type d’analyse, appelée attribution, est important car il permet de remonter à la source de l’attaque, caractériser l’intention et répondre adéquatement à […]

L’objectif général de ce projet de recherche est d’étudier des approches statistiques et computationnelles pour permettre l’analyse automatique des données structurées et non-structurées dans le contexte de décision péda-gogique et dans le cadre d’un outil tel que Reussito. Afin d’étudier la pertinence de ces approches, le projet se concentrera sur le développement des algorithmes d’analyse […]

The proposed internship project seeks to answer two questions for KMK Mi’kmaq Rights Initiative and Gardner Pinfold. First, what are the operational costs and fishery revenues of two communal lobster fisheries within Nova Scotia? Second, what are the possible avenues for internalizing fishery benefits locally in each of these fishing communities and how might they […]
