Optimisation, développement et validation du SNAD 1.0

L’entreprise Nadeau Design a développé le SNAD, un véhicule urbain qui s’utilise avec des équipements sportifs actuels tel que la planche à roulettes ou le patin à roues alignées pour bénéficier d’une assistance motorisée électrique lors des déplacements. Comme plusieurs éléments du SNAD ont toujours des lacunes sur le plan de l’utilisabilité, ce qui compromet […]

Biomolecular analyses of ancient cooking pots to reconstruct foodways

Reconstructing foodways can provide archaeologists insight into the relationship between past people and their lived environments. My project explores two innovative and complementary methods of biomolecular analysis – shotgun proteomics and lipid residue analysis – for the identification of foods eaten in the past. By identifying proteins and lipids from food cooked in Late Moche […]

Capacity Planning and Optimization of WiMAX for Smart Grid, Part 2

Smart grid (SG) aims at modernizing the current power grid which can better manage the electricity through the grid and react to the system faults quicker. To realize this goal, many sensors are attached to different points of the power grid infrastructure. These sensors collect data and can be used for controlling, protecting, and monitoring […]

AI-Driven Pneumothorax Detection in X-ray Imaging

This project aims to enhance the accuracy of identifying health issues in chest X-ray images. The team will develop a specialized tool, known as a “chest-tube detection model”, which will initially examine all X-rays to identify cases where patients have already received medical assistance, making it unnecessary to flag these cases. Subsequently, the remaining X-rays […]

Generating Synthetic Bank Transaction Sequences with GAN-based Models

Financial institutions gather vast amounts of data from our transactions. However, using this data directly can risk our privacy. A potential solution is generating “synthetic data”, which contains real data information without copying the original data. Generating this data, especially for bank transaction sequences, is challenging. During our research internship, we will use recent developments […]

UranOS: a Cloud-based Resource Management Framework for High Dimensionality Search Optimization

Multidisciplinary automated design-optimization (MDO) is a rapidly growing field of interest in sectors as diverse as architecture, engineering, science, and more. Often the computational cost of doing such optimization can be staggeringly high, requiring hundreds of computers connected through high-performance networks with complex custom designed software to support it. To address these problems, we propose […]

Textile Sensor Development for an EMG muscle activity monitoring system

GestureLogic is building a product that optimizes athletic performance. The product is a wearable sensory network that monitors muscle activity. The goal of this research is to take this inherently complex muscle data that is acquired by the sensory network and translate it to useful biometrics for the consumer with the help of intelligent algorithms. […]
