Mobile Network Carriers are experiencing unprecedented data traffic loads which are straining their existing infrastructure. They are thus interested in exploring research areas which focus on reducing this traffic load. The malicious traffic generated by malware on smartphones is of particular interest. My research focuses on the generation of a software system that marks traffic […]

Arthritis affects 4.6 million Canadians and the demand for timely and effective care is critical to better patient outcomes and cost effectiveness. The research projects will identify better models of care delivery for: 1) at risk patients with obesity who may require knee and/or hip replacement surgery or require conservative medical treatment in place of […]

Ce projet concerne la surveillance de chantier des travaux d’infrastructures municipales. Il s’agit d’uniformiser les pratiques et de fournir de nouveaux outils pour aider les donneurs d’ouvrages à définir leurs mandats. Le guide créé sera simple, accessible et adaptable aux différentes situations que l’on retrouve en milieu municipal, afin de conseiller également les chargés de […]

Aujourd’hui, la méconnaissance de la localisation précise des réseaux d’infrastructures souterraines (télécommunications, électricité, gaz, eau…) ainsi que les mauvaises techniques d’excavation conduisent à de nombreux accidents lors de travaux à proximité de ces réseaux. Dans un contexte où en 2015 au Québec, on dénombre près de 5 bris d’infrastructures souterraines en moyenne par jour (dont […]

The purpose of this multi-project study is to investigate the effects of two different doses of protein supplementation following exercise training on muscle damage and inflammation, as well as on post-recovery exercise performance in young swimmers. Sub-project 1 examines whether whey protein supplementation following a training session enhances exercise performance and affects post-exercise muscle damage […]

This project will develop a temperature sensing and control system for microfluidic systems. Microfluidic systems are devices that can move and analyze small volumes of liquid for many applications, including health care applications. The temperature control system will be made up of several components. The first is essentially a thermometer. This thermometer will use an […]

Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solutions and as a part of this, wants a method to show differences between multiple deployed instances of an application. To implement this, Metafor requires an accurate, high-performance generalized tree differencing algorithm. Differencing algorithms are used for comparing different versions of a document or snapshots […]

Geomechanica Inc. develops simulation software (Irazu) for rock engineering applications. This numerical software has been used in several peer-reviewed research publications in the rock mechanics field. A key challenge in the numerical modelling of rock masses is the selection of appropriate input parameters. The objective of this work is to develop a solution to streamline […]

Smartphone use continues to grow rapidly. With this growth, come significantly more challenging security and privacy threats than preceding generations of mobile devices given that they exist as completely developed computing platforms running established operating systems. Smartphones, therefore, are largely subject to similar malware and attack vectors that have grown to be commonplace within standard […]

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes both Crohn’s disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC). Approximately 230,000 Canadians are affected by these diseases and they have important repercussions on quality of life and on both personal and societal direct and indirect costs. The cause(s) are poorly understood, and treatment is largely symptom-based and not curative. Commonly used […]

The goal of this project will be to develop a privacy policy and procedures manual for Cyanic Automation in order to help them understand the privacy laws that protect the personal information they collect while doing business. Canada has several pieces of privacy legislation that can be confusing to understand, so one of my goals […]

Ciena, the network specialist, is collaborating with Universities and SMEs in Ontario and Québec in order to develop an ecosystem that accelerates advanced research and development activities in the fields of highcapacity optical transmission systems, software defined networks, business intelligence and process automation. A steady-state of over 50 Masters, PhD and Post-Doc students per year, […]
