Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited and Pratt & Whitney Canada have all initiated research projects on Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. Although applications are different, all companies are facing the same challenges, including the lack of a mature Canadian supply chain. The purpose of the current project is to bring together the whole value chain (Certification […]

The idea of using light for transferring data has been developed rapidly since 1960s. Today, using light for short-distance communication, as an alternative for copper wires, is rapidly growing mostly because of its broadband communication characteristics. Optical communication systems consist of both electronic and photonic components. Designing such systems will benefit from an Integrated Development […]

Present high capacity mining practices suffer from poor selectivity resulting in significant amounts of barren rock to report to the processing plant and significant quantities of metal in the waste dump. The research is aimed at developing sorting systems that improve the selectivity of the mining practices. The research will help MineSense Technologies Ltd to […]

The promotion and maintenance of women’s pelvic floor health is a growing concern as pelvic disorders affect a substantial number of women and their prevalence is expected to increase as a result of Canada’s aging population. Pelvic floor disorders go beyond their physical consequences as they can negatively impact women’s psychological, sexual, and social quality […]

ICES is a non-profit organization tasked with housing and conducting research of Ontario’s health administrative data. Data is available on all legal residents of Ontario, Canada most populous province. In addition, these health administrative data are being supplemented with data from other sources, such as maternal and newborn clinical data, newborn screening data, and immigration […]

The precise prediction of fluid behavior is required in many fields of engineering. Fluid flows are governed by a complex system of continuous partial differential equations (PDEs) which rarely have an exact analytical solution. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a leading method of analyzing fluid flows, by numerically solving the respective PDEs. Current […]

Lubricating oil degradation is a ubiquitous problem in industrial machinery. In general, this process includes the thermal breakdown, oxidation, and polymerization of the oil molecules as they turn into undesirable by-products while the lubricant ages. Primary antioxidants, also known as radical scavengers, are regularly added to the lubricant to remove the initial peroxy and alkyl […]

Solutions proposed by software engineering researchers are not usually used by practitioners due to the lack of tool support. The research software Dione was developed as a solution to this problem. Dione is a platform agnostic integrated software analytics solution to tackle this problem. We have implemented prediction models for effort estimation and defect prediction […]

The project consists in the design, development and testing of algorithms that can solve the routing and wavelength assignment problem in optical networks, for data instances with up to 100 wavelengths and few hundred nodes. Indeed, for each demand between a source and destination, it consists in determining a route, and assigning it a wavelength […]

This project seeks to address the flood of bugreports and crashreports that software companies must address when they build consumerfacing software. Organizations can easily face 50,000 crash reports per day. Developers cannot manually sift through them all. The goal of this work is to exploit modern search engine technology and crash report representation to enable […]

The Intern will develop a tablet based version of a test that identifies French-speaking children at school entry who are at risk for problems learning to read and write. The project will provide an opportunity for a doctoral candidate with a dual academic background in computer science and linguistics to gain skills and experience in […]

High-performance Ge-on-Si photodetectors are of lower cost and can be monolithically integrated with Si based integrated circuits for on-chip optical communications to increase computing speed. Process modeling is essential for structure and processing conditions design, but the current photonic design tools are too simplified for this task. This research is to implement process models in […]
