A Universal Design Framework of Employment Accessibility Standards for Supporting Visually Impaired Community by Social Robots

This project aims to employ a universal design framework to employ a social robot-aided training system to support the visually impaired community in attaining an inclusive job interview process. The universal design framework advocates that any given environment is accessible by persons with disabilities, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The research will take an evidence-based approach by adopting qualitative data collection strategies for the visually impaired community, such as conducting interviews and focus group sessions. Data collection will include persons with different visual processing disabilities, successful and unsuccessful experiences in the job interview process, and hiring managers and human resource professionals. The goal is to establish guidelines for implementing inclusive employment and accessibility standards while providing practical tools to break barriers in the recruitment process for the visually impaired community.

Transfert de connaissances aux acteurs du milieu de la recherche et de la pratique à partir des résultats d’une thèse portant sur les quotas de femmes dans le système électoral haïtien

Ce stage vise à transférer aux acteurs du milieu de la recherche et de la pratique résultats d’une recherche sur l’adoption d’une politique de quotas de femmes en Haïti. Ce transfert se fera à travers trois activités : diffusion d’articles (deux articles scientifiques et un article de vulgarisation), réalisation d’une séance de formation pour une association de femmes, rédaction d’une chronologie sur les moments fondateurs des luttes de femmes en Haïti. Le but est d’améliorer les compétences des acteurs revendiquant la présence de plus de femmes dans les lieux de pouvoir et d’enrichir la littérature sur les stratégies d’intégration des femmes en politique. Ces activités permettront au stagiaire de bénéficier de l’expertise de l’organisme d’accueil en matière de transfert de connaissances. Le stagiaire apportera à l’organisme sa disponibilité, ses compétences pour travailler sur ses activités de recherche sur les violences faites aux femmes en Haïti.

Applying Multi-surface Environments to Medical Imaging Techniques

In medicine, imaging-based exams are used to support diagnostics, treatment planning andlor the treatment itself. Considering the number, integration and nature of devices in a multi-surface environment (e.g. smartphones, tablets, multi-touch surfaces and wall displays), this project proposes a system for imaging visualization and manipulation that takes advantages from each device’s capabilities in the environment. The goal is to integrate the framework MSEAPI developed at the University of Calgary – responsible for the creation of multi-surface environments and applications, as well as interactions between users and devices – with ResolutionMO from Calgary Scientific Inc. – an imaging visualization tool for medical diagnosis. This integration aims to show (i) how the future of medical imaging manipulation and visualization tools is envisioned and (ii) present a case for Calgary Scientific to utilize their tools in a novel environment.
