System on Chip for Embedded Controller

Thales Canada Avionique développe entre autres des produits constitués de calculateurs (des modules contenant des cartes électroniques constituant des ordinateurs) jumelés à des modules d’interfaces, utilisés présentement à
bord d’avions d’affaires produit par Textron, Bombardier Inc et Gulfstream Aerospace. Ces produits contiennent un nombre trop important de composants électroniques discrets de basses et hautes tensions et puissances, avec
quelques circuits intégrés numériques. Or, les technologies à composants électroniques discrets impliquent de plus grandes dimensions, un poids plus élevé, un plus grand nombre d’interconnexions sur carte avec une conséquence
directe sur sa fiabilité et son coût. Ce projeté vise à faire l’étude des composants avioniques de Thales pour établir des stratégie d’intégration de ceux-ci sur des systèmes sur puce miniaturisés. Cela permettra d’augmenter la
fiabilité, de réduire le volume, le poids et la consommation de puissance des systèmes avioniques de Thales.

Development of a theoretical and a practical model for assessing the socio-economic feasibility of small-growing businesses

The objective of the research is to provide international development agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with decision making and evaluation tools that are practical and, at the same time, are based on sound academic foundations. These tools are specific to a sector, such as nutrition, and a country, such as Guatemala. The resulting documents will assist analysts in the design of international development projects as well as in their assessment, monitoring, and evaluation. The immediate benefit of such practical guidelines would be their utilization by the partner organization in the analysis of ongoing projects.

Info-Archéo: Environnement numérique de consultation des connaissances du patrimoine urbain enfoui

À la ville de Québec existe un système (SIGMA II) qui regroupe tous les plans et les cartes anciens qui couvrent le territoire de la ville. Le positionnement précis de ces derniers permet de voir l’évolution des divers quartiers de la ville et de certains terrains en particulier. Actuellement, SIGMA n’est pas accessible aux personnes ne travaillant pas à la ville. Le projet proposé vise ainsi à concevoir et développer à l’aide d’une interface de type ArcGIS Online une application de consultation sur tablette nommée Info-Archéo. Celle-ci permettra, tout en respectant les contraintes de diffusion de la ville de Québec, d’offrir un accès aux données de SIGMA II pour pouvoir profiter de toute l’information historique et archéologique. Cette application pourra aussi servir aux archéologues dans leurs travaux de recherche tout en permettant au public de mieux connaitre, voire à s’approprier, leur patrimoine urbain.

A Review of Doctoral Dissertation and Comprehensive/Candidate Exam Models in Canada in Relation to Learning Outcomes Relevant to Both Academic and Non-Academic Careers

The alignment of the dissertation and the CE in terms of preparing students as researchers in today’s environment or for innovative work outside the academy is in question. The purposes and structures of these basic PhD components have not changed significantly since the origin of the modern PhD, which was developed primarily as a vocational degree for the professoriate. Much work has gone into identifying the range of knowledges, intellectual abilities, competencies and attitudes required by graduates, especially those working outside the academy, yet these attributes have not necessarily been the focus of educational efforts or assessment in these core components.
The intern will work with and support two working groups established through CAGS, focused respectively on the dissertation and the CE and their purposes, forms, and assessment. TO BE CONT’D

Optimizing Movement in Children Study (OMiCS)

OMiCS represents a broad research initiative exploring the relationship between physical literacy (PL) in children and markers of biological health. The research seeks to expand on the literature surrounding the components of PL: physical competence, confidence, and motivation for being active, and determine whether any of these components can shift objective biomarkers of health (the “omics”). Employing emerging technologies from the field of personalized medicine, OMiCS will collect and analyze biological samples from a diverse group of children, which will allow researchers to determine what, if any, effect the components of physical literacy have on a child’s “omics”.

Fibre response to temperature and precipitation variation in natural and planted stands of spruce (Picea glauca x Engelmannii) in northern interior British Columbiaa

This goal of this research project is to understand how wood fibre characteristics within planted and natural stands of spruce behave with changes to temperature and precipitation. Several methods of wood analysis will be used to determine this relationship including dendrochronology, scientifically dating tree-rings and comparing to climate, and analysis of fibre qualities, or cellular wood qualities, within samples of both natural and planted stands of spruce. The partner organization, Canfor, will benefit by gaining knowledgeable expertise in how cellular wood fibre qualities vary with climate and how future wood sources are expected to change with a changing climate. This knowledge will allow Canfor to better understand their future wood quality and help maintain sustainable forests and economic stability.

Analysis to Facilitate Electric Public Transportation Demonstration Projects in the Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC)

Battery electric busses (BEBs) are a promising emerging technology to replace the diesel buses currently the mainstay of public road transportation. Diesel buses contributed significantly to both climate-change related emissions, as well as local air quality issues. This project is examining a number of key issues associated with BEB adoption, in the context of a Canada-wide trial of BEBs. The high power demands of charging BEBs will be looked at in concert with energy storage on the chargers, to avoid high electricity costs and local electricity grid impacts. An evaluation of BEBs relative to ‘standard’ trolley buses with overhead power lines as used by TransLink in BC will be carried out. A quantification of the cap-and-trade system in Ontario with respect to BEB rollout will also be conducted.

The Challenges of Curating Latin American Cinema in the 21st Century

Curatorial studies is a well-established field of research in the visual arts. However, curating and programming are probably among the most understudied areas in film and media scholarship. While I participate in defining the official selection of Latin American movies for the 2017 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, I will gather tools to attempt answering the following questions: Which films are prioritized for exhibition and why? How can a film festival contribute to the development of ethnic inclusions? My goal is not only to contribute new academic knowledge to the field of Latin America film programming but also to encourage new appreciations of this region’s audiovisual culture among TIFF’s audiences, which could potentially raise the number of people interested in attending the Latin American section’s screenings.

Improving Computation and Evaluation of Isogenies Over Supersingular Elliptic Curves

Cryptography allows to achieve the privacy of conversation between communicating parties by means of encryption. In the core of many cryptosystems lie mathematical problems that are difficult to solve. However, many of these problems, though intractable to attacks carried through electronic computers, are vulnerable to quantum computer attacks. ISARA is a security solutions company that offers quantum-resistant products. Improving their underlying algorithms is crucial to achieve the desired efficiency in performance. The goal of this project is to improve the cryptosystem based on isogenies of supersingular elliptic curves. The research will focus on the investigation of the techniques to improve the computation and evaluation of isogenies.

Extracting supplier information from the web

Using web crawling technology in coordination with state of the art machine learning techniques, the project aims to mine useful, structured information about the world’s suppliers from the web. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have increased the viability of such autonomous systems for extracting coherent information from arbitrary human-produced content. By leveraging these technologies, our goal is to build improved supplier discovery and recommendation systems. Such systems would enable manufacturers to meet the right suppliers faster, thus putting their products on the market sooner. The methods and processes we will develop might be transferable to different text mining tasks on other subjects as well.
