Ce projet consiste à innover en offrant aux consommateurs un outil de calcul des coûts de leurs entretiens et réparations automobiles, qui sont aujourd’hui très différents d’un garage à l’autre. En ayant une estimation des coûts réels que les entretiens devraient lui coûter dans les prochaines années, le consommateur ne se fera pas avoir, paiera […]

Precision agriculture is adopting site-specific agriculture practices reducing farm inputs and increasing productivity. Site-specific agriculture requires information about every inch of the field. Provided the large farm holding of the Canadian Prairies, getting extensive information about the field is an uphill task. Currently, limited samples are taken from the field resulting in low spatial resolution. […]

Le stockage de l’énergie renouvelable variable et le remplacement du gaz fossile pour le chauffage des procédés industriels sont deux des plus grands défis techniques de la transition énergétique. Un système économique de stockage de chaleur à haute température pourra répondre simultanément à ces deux besoins. Ce projet vise à reprendre la technologie de stockage […]

Le projet de doctorat consiste à faire l’essai d’un certain type de lentilles électroniques spécialisées, appelées lentilles à focalisation forte, que sont les lentilles quadripolaires électrostatiques. Ces lentilles sont généralement utilisées dans des appareils analytiques comme les microscopes électroniques et les spectromètres de masse, entre autres., qui opèrent tous à de très basses pressions. L’élément […]

As the climate change problem has been a serious global issue, we have been making effort replace internal combustion engine to electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emission. As demand for EVs increases, it is necessary to research an infrastructure; such as an efficient and intelligent EV charging system, to support various charging services. Wireless […]

Sustainable product development adheres to the needs of the present while developing a product without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This proposal aims to develop a suite of sustainability metrics that can be computed by analyzing data like company website, product material information, etc. The metrics will be integrated into […]

The goal of the project is to develop an integrated platform for size, shape, and topology optimization of thin wall structures that can meet both manufacturing and performance requirements. The research fellow will receive guidance from Autodesk Researchers & Professionals as well as close supervision on the fundamental aspects pertaining the mechanics and optimization by […]

Currently, call centres effort in this matter is largely reactive. Someone calls in, they are upset, and agents respond accordingly. However, this approach is not always most effective, especially with difficult customers. Therefore, knowing the customers current emotional state is very important for appropriate problem solving. Affective computing can be used to detect and evaluate […]

Car (automobile) insurance is a very common type of insurance: policyholders pay a premium to get financial compensation in case an accident happens with their cars. Insurance companies use complex calculations and a lot of information to determine the value of these premiums. More specifically, they must also consider their expectations of the future. Predicting […]

Virtual agents based on artificial intelligence have become increasingly popular on social media. Examples of Lil Miquela or Shudu Gram show how completely artificial agents can have a significant influence on our social lives, and especially social media marketing. However, it stands to question how these virtual influencers are actually perceived by consumers, whether they […]

Existing data lake systems lack the support for storing or discovery features that could be used with different ML projects. These limitations negatively affect the process of decision-taking. Data scientists spend most of their time finding, preparing, and integrating relevant data sets to finish analytics tasks. Feature discovery systems are needed to ease the process […]

Aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2) are poisonous mycotoxins that are produced by two common molds, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, in cereal grains and maize. When dairy cows ingest AFB1 toxin through contaminated feed, it is metabolized into carcinogenic AFM1 toxin, and it is transferred in milk. AFM1 contamination of milk poses a significant health […]
