In today’s quantum computing environment, access to all major hardware providers is entirely cloud-based. As a result, large enterprises and other privacy-sensitive users are limited in their ability to experiment with quantum computers. Many have simply chosen to forego experimentation with quantum computers altogether. A careful application of recent research is vital to address this […]

There is a paramount need to treat symptoms, find cures, and reduce/contain the virus’s continuous spread due to the global pandemic caused by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The most life-threatening symptoms of COVID-19 result in severe respiratory failure due to pneumonia complications. While antiviral treatments and vaccines are under development globally, patients in critical condition […]

This project will extend on our labs initial findings that current q-RT-PCR based screening strategies for COVID-19 patients can fall within variant regions of the SARS-CoV2 viral sequence and may potentially lead to false negative results. This project, in collaboration with BioXplor will lead to the development of online bioinformatics tool that will allow tracking […]

SOTI SNAP is an application development platform that allows users to create applications with little or no programming knowledge. By utilizing a block-based approach, users can drag and drop blocks and pre-made widgets and connect together to create applications in minutes. Apps made using SOTI SNAP can run on both Android- and iOS-based devices. The […]

Patients most vulnerable to COVID-19 have pre-existing illnesses, including diabetes and heart disease. Two potential treatments in clinical trials for COVID-19 are the anti-malarial drug, hydroxychloroquine, and the antibiotic, azithromycin. These drugs can cause side-effects, including cardiac arrhythmias which can lead to heart failure, that make them inappropriate for the most vulnerable COVID-19 patients. Cardiac […]

This project dedicates to leverage the use of SOTI snap app to a greater community by providing more flexibility for third-party users and reducing required prior programming knowledge. To do this, we will focus on building a Software Development Kit (SDK) so that third parties can create and publish new widgets allowing SNAP apps to […]

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, uses computer-aided design to build objects layer by layer. AM enables complex designs with reduced component lead time, cost, material waste, energy usage and carbon footprint. Large scale robotic AM (> 1 m cubed) using wire arc welding is an emerging field offering scalability of AM to […]

Les blessures ou lésions au travail constituent la 2e cause la plus importante d’invalidité au monde. Afin d’aider les travailleurs dans leurs tâches et réduire l’exposition aux blessures, l’utilisation d’exosquelettes est une avenue prometteuse. Il existe déjà plusieurs exosquelettes d’assistance pour la production automobile et les industries manufacturières, mais ceux-ci ne sont pas adaptés aux […]

This project explores 3D pose hand reconstruction using machine learning models with sensor data from innovative input devices. The goal is to propose an approach that provides real-time high fidelity hand reconstruction and understand how users perceive its quality to improve user experience and social interaction in AR/VR. The proposed methodology is to train a […]

Science and engineering companies rely on powerful computers to simulate, in virtual space, the performance of new processes and products. The computer architectures of these systems are evolving to provide even faster virtual solutions with less energy requirements. This hardware evolution impacts software design and implementation of simulation tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). […]

With increasing amounts of information available online on the web, it’s crucial for search engines to filter out the content they think is useful and rank that content in decreasing order of relevance to the user’s query so that the user can just focus on the top results. Traditional techniques in search ranking focused on […]

L’objectif principal de ce projet consiste à développer une formulation de béton électriquement conducteur basé sur l’utilisation des résidus de bauxite calcinés. Les retombées de ce projet de recherche pour le Canada sont doubles puisqu’elles permettront, dans un premier temps, une valorisation de produits recyclés issus de la production d’aluminium canadienne, réduisant ainsi l’impact environnemental […]
