Designing a Participatory Platform for the inclusion of marginalized communities of Winnipeg

While the City of Winnipeg keeps attracting varied groups of cultural-linguistic newcomers, these groups normally fall behind the walls of the entrenched cultural sector. This project aims to examine and map the process of designing a participatory platform for the inclusion of people who are not the regular target audience of conventional art institutions for Plug-In ICA. This will include direct decision-making, common-curating, and common exhibiting of a people-centered theme through the frameworks of ‘participatory design’.

Developing a Mental Health Access Prioritization Algorithm as an API Service

Mental illness is considered one of the most serious conditions that one can develop. If left untreated, it could result in worsening the condition of the patient and increase the difficulty of treatment. From a patient’s perspective, most of the time even if they suffer with severe and debilitating symptoms, there’s still a prolonged wait time to secure an appointment for getting the right treatment. The aim of the project is to estimate the priority for consulting patient based on the severity of their symptoms. The intention is to develop algorithms that can determine the severity of a patient’s condition prior to seeing clinicians based on their screening responses. We aim to minimize the waiting time for patients who require urgent intervention.

Espaces publics: Enjeux liés à la diversité des besoins de la population et négociations pour un usage favorable au bien-être

La vie communautaire implique une négociation de l’usage des espaces publics qui s’arrime avec la diversité des besoins de la population. La Municipalité de Sainte-Julie fait face à des enjeux relatifs à des rassemblements de jeunes dans des espaces publics qui ont contribué à des dégradations de l’infrastructure et des incivilités. Ce projet fera état des circonstances menant aux rassemblements. Le projet visera d’abord à établir un portrait descriptif quantitatif et spatialisé des incidents liés aux rassemblements des jeunes. Ensuite, par le biais de groupes de discussions avec les résident.e.s et des entretiens individuelles avec les jeunes, le projet identifiera les perceptions et postures chacun, ainsi que les besoins et vécus des jeunes dans leurs milieux de vie (famille, école, espaces publics). Ce projet à méthode mixte permettra la municipalité de s’outiller pour mieux cibler ses interventions afin de promouvoir le bienêtre et la qualité de vie de toustes.

Recherche de coconstruction de savoirs sur les usages de saunas par les hommes gais et bisexuels à Montréal

Le projet de recherche que je réalise dans le cadre de ma maitrise en mobilisation et transfert des connaissances à l’Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) en partenariat avec l’organisme Les 3 sex* vise à faire la
reconstitution historique des événements, des enjeux et des savoirs qui ont eu un impact sur les usages de saunas par les hommes gais et bisexuels à Montréal. Depuis 1950, les saunas pour hommes sont fréquentés par
les hommes gais et bisexuels et sont devenus des lieux symboliques et revendicatifs d’une sexualité à l’écart des normes hétérosexuelles. Pour réaliser ma recherche, j’utiliserai une approche de recherche participative afin
d’inclure dans la production des connaissances les acteurs directement concernés. Ce projet de recherche s’insère à merveille dans les objectifs de l’organisme Les 3 sex* qui se spécialise en diffusion des savoirs et des enjeux sexologiques chez les femmes et les personnes issues des communautés LGBTQ+.

AI-Driven Role-based Data Retrieval System for Infrastructure Digital Twins

The project focuses on developing a ‘Question-and-Answer’ (Q&A) system over lifecycle information of infrastructure elements (such as bridges), which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to efficiently search and organize information. The developed system will efficiently search through a large variety of data, ranging from text-based documents to spreadsheets, to provide accurate answers to specific questions. This is vital in construction, where finding the right information quickly is essential and the data sources are dispersed and unorganized. For the partner organization, this AI system brings a major improvement in how they handle and use data, making their decision-making process more efficient. For developing and integrating this technology into Digital Twins, advanced AI techniques will be employed, compared and verified.

Pre-delinquency models.

Times of economic stress (e.g., high inflation and interest rates) result in an increase in the frequency with which households fall behind with their loan payments. Loan delinquency in this project is when a borrower is behind with payments by more than 60 days. The project explores whether we can forecast loan delinquency early. An early delinquency signal could be used as an opportunity for the bank to initiate a conversation with borrowers, for example, by providing financial education in a timely fashion to those who might need it the most. The models would focus on clients that are not currently past due but may likely become loan delinquent soon. The models will employ account attributes from internal accounts. The model would support ATB’s proactive outreach program, with the aim of improving the path for clients headed toward loan delinquency.

Assessing the impacts of ship noise on Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticetus) in the western Canadian Arctic through passive acoustic monitoring

My proposed project aims to determine the extent to which increased vessel traffic in the Canadian Arctic will impact Bowhead Whales and proactively develop mitigation strategies. As Arctic sea ice is lost at an increasing rate due to climate change, the amount of vessel traffic through marine Arctic environments has increased dramatically over the past several decades. This increase in large ships represents a serious conservation threat to the Bowhead Whale, a large baleen whale species endemic to the Arctic. The increase in underwater noise from these ships have the potential to disrupt regular behaviour and spatial distributions of this vulnerable, long-lived species. My work will make use of long-term marine acoustic monitoring to measure the amount of noise produced by vessels in the western Canadian Arctic and quantify how Bowhead Whales respond to this anthropogenic noise. In quantifying how Bowhead Whales change habitat use patterns, and by classifying how different vocalizations change in response to vessel noise, I will be able to produce proactive conservation strategies to minimize the impacts of increased vessel traffic on this species.

Investigation of Cascaded Commutation Failures in Multi-Infeed High-Voltage Direct Current Systems

The increasing applications of high-voltage direct current technology in long-distance bulk power transmission have resulted in multi-infeed systems, where multiple inverters are located within mutual electrical vicinity. Many of these systems use the line-commutated converter, which may suffer the commutation failure (CF) when a thyristor valve does not turn off at the desired instant. The cascaded CF becomes a possibility where a CF at one inverter propagates to other inverters, leading to a major power interruption and even loss of system stability. This project will reveal the underlying mechanism of the cascade CF by developing a novel approach for relating the probability and immunity of the CF to the area under the simulated commutating voltage curve. It is hoped that this project will enhance the understanding of the cascaded CF. The industry partner is RTDS Technologies Inc., a major simulator manufacturer.
