Evolutionary history and diversity of human-specific FAM72A paralogs
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-14)
Gene duplication is a key driver of genetic diversity and adaptation, allowing genomes to develop complexity and redundant sequences that evolve along different trajectories. In human evolution, gene duplication played an ...
N-Dimensional Polynomial Neural Networks and their Applications
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-04-06)
In addition to being extremely non-linear, modern machine learning problems require millions
if not billions of parameters to solve or at least to get a good approximation of the solution,
and neural networks are known ...

(University of Winnipeg, 2016-08)
Despite the central role that Indigenous foods can potentially play in meeting people’s food security needs in Nigeria, it has continually been ignored by Government and policy makers. With 65% of Nigerian’s considered ...
Exploring Deep Neural Networks for Plant Image Classification
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-04)
Automatically distinguishing different types of plant images is a challenging problem relevant to both Botany and Computer Science disciplines. Plant identification at the species level is a computer vision task called ...
On the Evaluation of Pattern Match Queries in Large Graph Databases
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-01)

I document and analyze, using a decolonization framework, historical and contemporary understandings of Indigenous identities, focusing primarily on Indigenous Canadian identity in urban centres. I describe the reconstruction ...
Post mating isolating barriers between Drosophila species and the role of seminal fluid gene expression
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-07)
Reproductive genes are known to be among the fastest evolving category of genes within the genome, and males’ reproductive genes show a high divergence between species. A class of genes expressed in the male’s reproductive ...
