Traditional drug development strategy is costly, tiresome, and labor-intensive. In the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have shown promising results to overcome some of these limitations. However, these computational technologies still cannot efficiently generate novel drugs with expected properties for treating specific diseases. Here we will apply new generation of AI frameworks to design […]

By having an intern do market research for this project on active transportation cycling in British Columbia, there are several objectives to be met. program to research this quickly evolving market niche, confirm HUB Cycling’s service offering, and develop a targeted marketing plan to draw in more and more diverse clients. This in-depth study will […]

The proposed project aims to develop simple thermal resistance network models using experimental and CFD data to predict the performance of conventional circular sectioned heat pipes and thermosyphons. Heat pipes are a type of enhanced heat transfer device that uses a continuous cycle of boiling and condensing of a fluid to transfer heat at a […]

Le complexe tourbeux de Lanoraie fait l’objet de conflits d’usage de l’eau depuis plusieurs années et l’évolution récente de la tourbière montre une transformation très marquée de la végétation depuis 70 ans. La hausse des pompages pour l’irrigation des cultures de pommes de terre, combinée à une succession d’étés secs, a exacerbé les conflits d’usage […]

L’objectif du projet est d’automatiser la reconnaissance des signaux acoustiques et vibratoires d’une part, et des signaux de décharges partielles d’autres part, et ceci à l’aide d’un modèle d’apprentissage profond. Cette reconnaissance est la première étape du développement d’un modèle de pronostic et de suivi de l’évolution de la dégradation des alternateurs. Ces signaux sont […]

Earthquakes pose significant risks to many Canadian homeowners in British Columbia, Quebec, and Eastern Ontario. Many homeowners in these regions have not purchased earthquake insurance for their homes, and recent surveys suggest that most Quebec homeowners are unaware that earthquake loss is not covered in their general insurance plans. If a devastating earthquake were to […]

In this project, the main purpose is to develop a tool for facial image anonymization by replacing the face in an image with a fake, generated face. To have realistic looking generated images, it is essential for the generated face to have a similar pose to the original one and to be seamlessly harmonic to […]

Sometimes an object is partially hidden by a physical object like fingers, book etc. or by digitally pasted artifacts like blurringof an area. The intern will be working on detecting these types of digital and physical occlusions on an object. At Jumio we encounter documents that are hidden or occluded by such masks. These documents […]

Several engineering equipment ranging from those used for portable power generation, to medium scale gas turbine aircraft engines, and large scale land-based power generation units burn fuel to produce either electric energy or generate propulsive force. This energy conversion takes place inside a combustion chamber which emits noise and combustion pollutants. The objective of the […]

Speed is incredibly important when addressing issues with computer security. The longer the time between the attack’s start and resolution, the more assets that attackers can steal from a company. There are various security platforms that can alert a company to a cyber-attack. This research project aims to combine knowledge from all these platforms together […]

This project will support the development and implementation of a collaborative conservation strategy for the Annapolis Valley Sand Barrens, a globally rare and endangered ecosystem found in Nova Scotia. It has been estimated that only 3% of the Annapolis Valley Sand Barrens remains today, lost primarily due to competing land-uses such as urban development, agriculture […]

Phishing emails are a common form of a cyber attack. Attackers use leading content to fraud victims, such as fake banking information, forged Google Alert messages, and so on. Phishing attacks have been around for years, causing countless serious consequences, such as financial losses and confidential documents leaks. As of now, there is still no […]
