The use of new technologies, such as Gallium Nitride electronic switches, allows very efficient and compact power converters to be manufactured at reasonable cost. This is particularly interesting in applications such as electric vehicles. This project focuses on developing software simulation models and techniques for deploying these latest high voltage switches, in particular focussing on […]

Ce projet consiste à extraire la nature des accès informatiques des employés d’une organisation et les consolider afin de permettre au gestionnaire de l’employer ou à un auditeur d’avoir une vue d’ensemble des accès informatiques de ses employés. Les employés qui arrivent ou quittent l’organisation, ou changent d’emploi dans la même organisation exigent une révision […]

To communicate with their end users, businesses regularly produce written documents such as letters, notices, statements, etc. in various languages. A set of rules are usually used to ensure that information in these documents is ‘correct’ and consistent across languages and communication channels. However, with the increasing volume and variety of information being sent out […]

Plusieurs fondations, comme la fondation Marie-Vincent, sont particulièrement touchées dans le contexte de la crise actuelle de la COVID. Une partie importante des initiatives de financements étant normalement effectuée lors d’événements physiques d’envergure, l’obtention du financement pour maintien des activités est une préoccupation. Afin de supporter les fondations et organismes à but non lucratif particulièrement […]

Predictive modeling of financial data, especially trading activity or asset prices, is a very challenging task. There are a number of novel approaches to feature engineering, data preparation and model architectures that aim to mitigate some of the problems that arise from non-stationarity and other issues typically found in financial time series data. This project […]

Multiple situations require cross-lingual searching: lawyers reviewing litigation documents; intelligence analysts data mining open source data; and patent attorneys investigating technical documents. To imitate cross-lingual search, people use online translation platforms to find the equivalent terms laboriously and then re-execute the query multiple times in various languages. The commercial search industry hasn’t seen much demand […]

Despite the importance of diverse voices in community decision-making, we still do not fully understand how to support sound decision making in a way that is equitable and works to advance agendas of historically marginalized groups. We will draw on notions of equitable representation and urban planning to define equitable decision making, identify value elicitation […]

COVID-19 has introduced significant challenges to healthcare systems and caregivers to provide quality care to older adults and adults with developmental disabilities (DD) living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). As a result, regular doctor visits are limited, and demand for caregivers is on the rise. Utilizing a Collaborative Service Robot (CSR) technology within a LTCF […]

The general objective of the proposed activity is to increase the future productivity of Burrard Inlet and the contribution of seafood to the diet of Tsleil-Waututh Nation (TWN) members in support of the TWN Cumulative Effects Monitoring Initiative. Specifically we propose to (1) quantify the ecological variables driving contemporary clam density, biomass and diversity; (2) […]

Due to the potential for significant cost-savings, many companies are turning their attention to digital simulations which produce an enormous amount of data. For companies to realize the benefits of having access to this data they need tools that allow efficient and accurate extraction of information from the data set. The goal of this project […]

For this project, we will develop the statistical theory to support, as well as a full functioning prototype for, a large-scale multidimensional data visualization application. This application, which will be fully scalable, will include an interactive user dashboard with customizable widgets. By taking a methodological approach to this type of research , along with an […]

L’apport de l’étudiant se concentrera beaucoup sur la gestion de projet et la recherche autour des initiatives menées par le DG et le responsable du développement des affaires. La validation de nouvelles initiatives innovantes dans le cadre du milieu entrepreneurial nécessite beaucoup d’itérations en raison de l’incertitude, du risque financier, des risques réputationnels pour l’organisation […]
