Over 200,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed in Canada each year. With imaging using an appropriate modality, many types of cancer that manifest as solid tumors can be detected, treated or managed effectively. Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT) is the primary imaging modality in a range of cancer types. Scientific studies […]

Additive manufacturing (AM), 3D printing, offers flexibility in manufacturing and can process a wide range of materials. In this project, polymers and composites are investigated to increase mechanical performance, and to reduce weight, cost, and lead time of candidate parts. Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) can greatly benefit from AM processes in aircraft engine components. […]

The goal of this research is to investigate and build a recommendation system that suggests charities to users based on their previous donations. One of the first successful recommendation systems was Amazon’s “Customers who bought this, also bought…”. This recommendation system focuses mainly on making it easier for users to find relevant information and increasing […]

Anomaly network traffic threat detection has been used in many companies to detect threats. Usually, it is deployed on-premises for efficiency and privacy reasons. Anomaly detection system usually consists of a machine learning algorithm that needs tons of time to train and test. Because each company may have different network setup, it is hard to […]

Most computer services nowadays are provided in cloud environments. Inevitably, every individual needs to use these environments when they have to use computer services. Considering cyber threats in the cloud infrastructure, security and privacy conservation of one is really challenging. Out of date techniques are no more executable in these infrastructures. However, machine learning algorithms […]

Security has become increasingly important as cyberattacks are more prominent. Despite advances in security technologies there’s still a need for a new security architecture that is simply adaptable and scalable to different and evolving security requirements of various organizations. This project will study the latest technologies and solutions in the field of Cybersecurity that are […]

Girls with Turner syndrome (TS), a chromosomal condition in which a female has complete or partial absence of the second sex chromosome, present a unique group of patients, with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Since the mid 1900s extensive research has led to advancements in the treatment of Turner syndrome: growth hormone therapy can […]

Iron and Steel are the backbone of major industrial sectors, like automobile, building and construction, heavy machine manufacturing etc. and Blast Furnace (BF) Ironmaking is the chief production route of iron throughout the world. The objective of this project is to develop novel models for blast furnaces to enhance their productivity in a sustainable way […]

Although the electric guitar has widely been valued as a vehicle for musical expression, many of the efforts that have been carried out to bring the instrument up to date with the era of digital music fail to capture that richness. Attempts at creating interfaces based on the guitar using either sensors or analysis of […]
