Through this Mitacs initiative, the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary’s University, and OEA Technologies, Inc., will cooperatively research and develop online and social media tools that facilitate delivery of professional environmental services in developing countries. OEA Technologies’ specific interests are climate-change related oceanographic services and small-island developing states. “Innovation and diversification are not optional […]

With this project, we aim to increase our knowledge and experience in recommender systems. We are specifically interested in testing various data structures and algorithms that will allow us to provide recommendations to our users based on their interest (user-user), as well as the intrinsic similarities between different elements of our database (item-item). Based on […]

This study aims to develop a soft and flexible magnetic millirobot based on elastic and biocompatible polymers that can generate voltage as it moves. By using this proposed millirobot, locomotion efficiency can be increased with a decrease in resistance under challenging and harsh conditions in stomachs and digestion systems. In addition, it can serve as […]

Today, thanks to microelectronics, it is possible to find technology that continuously collects data such as motion kinematics or physiological data. This type of technology is commonly referred to as wearable and therefore the scope of this project is to find methodologies based on artificial intelligence for the creation of models that can predict a […]

AWL-Électricité travaille actuellement au développement d’un chargeur sans fil dans le domaine de la mobilité en utilisant une technologie de couplage capacitif résonant. Dans le but de manufacturer est d’amener un premier produit sur le marché, AWL-E cherche à développer un BMS, sois un système de gestion d’une batterie, et l’intégrer au produit présentement en […]

Since the internet boom, cybersecurity has become a major concern every year governments and tech companies are investing a lot to make sure they are not prey of cybersecurity issues. There are various types of threats that are related to cyber security such as: social engineering, malware, ransomware, cloud computing issues to name a few. […]

Digital commerce platforms these days collect trillions of data points of their customers and users, which are stored in database tables for a limited period. In Canada itself, there are 27 million eCommerce users that accounting to 75% of the Canadian population (International Trade Administration, 2022) Hackers constantly attempt to isolate and target vulnerabilities not […]

Autonomous flying vehicles are the future of aerospace industry. They require a robust trajectory tracking algorithm capable of finding an optimal solution in real-time. Optimal control, such as Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) is a powerful technique which can handle the nonlinearities of a system by including the restrictions and constraints of its states and […]

The proposed project on cooperative multi-robot systems addresses one of the recognized major challenges and opportunities in collaborative robotics (Cobots). For multi-robot groups, optimizing transportation efficiency for the workpiece while at the same time achieving whole-body obstacle avoidance in a cluttered manufacturing environment is highly involved due to the physical coupling of the system between […]

Topological data analysis is a tool used to analyze the shape of a given dataset. It allows one to find topological or geometrical features of even large collections of data. Persistent homology is one of the main approaches to topological data analysis in recent times. The strategy is to set some rule to build geometrical […]

Terahertz (THz) waves are a type of radiation located between micro-waves and infrared light. This radiation possess both the qualities of micro-waves passing through walls and infrared which can be used to image an object. In the current project of the student, electro-optic sampling (EOs) method is used to detect THz pulse’s phase in reflexion […]

Improving feed efficiency (FE) and meat quality (MQ) are Canadian swine industry priorities that will increase sustainability and competitiveness. It is difficult to improve these traits simultaneously by traditional breeding methods due to limited knowledge of genetic interactions, limitations on animals that can be measured and the high cost of measurement. High throughput genomic technology […]
