Ciena would like to drastically improve its ability to track, analyse and forecast the cost of products. Building on experience with the current tool suite and business practices, Ciena aims to develop a next-generation product cost analytics solution that will run on its existing IT infrastructure and allow capture, analysis and modeling of historical as […]

L’utilisation de systèmes robotiques en réadaptation médicale présente un certain nombre d’avantages par rapport à la thérapie traditionnelle, tels qu’une bonne répétabilité de mouvement, une assistance contrôlable avec précision pendant les mouvements et des mesures de performance quantifiables. Récemment, une nouvelle classe de systèmes robotiques, appelés robots parallèles à câbles, a été introduite dans le […]

De nos jours, l’analyse des données est au coeur de plusieurs nouvelles technologies, surtout avec l’arrivée de l’ère du « big data » et l’essor du « deep learning ». En effet, les réseaux de neurones profonds appliqués à des données massives révolutionnent certains domaines comme la vision, le traitement de la langue naturelle et […]

This project examines how technology firms in Tel Aviv and Haifa, Israel attract and retain migrants with skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Israel strongly depends on its innovative technology firms; however, there is a growing awareness that Israel’s economy and innovativeness could lose momentum due to job shortages in the STEM sector. […]

Many architecture and design firms in Calgary have a strong desire to incorporate parametric software (BIM) and digital manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies into their design processes in order to meet evolving client demands, regulatory requirements, and sustainability performance targets. These are necessary criteria that constitute high-quality built environments capable of meeting the needs of multiple stakeholders […]

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de déterminer la meilleure manière d’informer et de guider les utilisateurs d’un nouveau logiciel de modélisation numérique de l’humain face aux solutions ergonomiques que ce logiciel propose pour qu’ils comprennent ces solutions, se sentent en confiance vis-à-vis de celles-ci et décident de les appliquer plutôt de décider de […]

measures the brain activity via electrodes placed on the scalp, or in the case of evaluation for epilepsy brain surgery, intracranially. The EEG measures very complex time varying signals from multiple and spatially complicated sources. Clinically, EEG interpretation relies on visual interpretation of signals less than 30 Hz, ignoring the rich motherlode of information from […]

There are currently no practical-economical repair methods for many aerospace parts made of aluminum/titanium. The Cold Spray technology produces metal coatings by accelerating metal powders onto the substrate to be coated using high velocity jet at supersonic speeds. Upon impact the particles plastically deform and produce a dense coating. Metals such as aluminum/titanium can be […]

Superalloys are a group of high-perfornlance alloys which are widely used for high stress, high temperature, and severe wear and erosion/corrosion environments. Erosion and corrosion constitute one of the most challenging problems limiting the service lifetime of superalloys. However, due to the complexity of testing procedures and multiplicity of affecting factors as well as the […]

This project is a systemic review and assessment of diversity strategies currently in place at The Scarborough Hospital using the Diversity Institute’s Diversity Audit Tool (DAT). The DAT was developed based on research into leading practices and offers a lens through which diversity strategies can be analyzed; this will be the first time that it […]

Medtronic is a global medical device company and leader in patient monitoring technologies that has a key area of interest for developing technology to effectively monitor patients’ cerebral blood flow (i.e., perfusion) in relation to systemic blood pressure. Maintaining a prescribed intra-operative blood pressure range for patients does not guarantee a healthy cerebral blood flow, […]

I am proposing to research the historical tradition of self portraiture as a way to reflect on the very contemporary preponderance of self portraits in digital media/networks. On order to identify links between art history and contemporary self-representations, I will examine and document different collections of self-portraits and artworks related to the depiction of the […]
