Documenting Innovations in Access: Creating an Anthology of Access in the Arts

The Access Anthology Project is a collaboration between two non-profit Artist Run Centres (ARCs) located in Toronto, ON, Tangled Art + Disability and Gallery TPW. Commissioned by Gallery TPW in 2022, the Access Anthology will document the access practices of Tangled Art + Disability through a collection of interviews, roundtables, and essays contributed by artists, arts administrators, and other collaborators who have worked with Tangled, reflecting on their experiences of access in the arts. The purpose of the Anthology is to share Tangled’s access practices as a leading disability arts organization in Canada with other ARCs, arts administrators, and artists seeking to develop their own protocols and practices around access in the arts. This project will create new intellectual property for the partner organization through the publication of the Access Anthology, increase the capacity for access in the arts and encourage organizational innovation for ARCs by creating a publication detailing some possible best practices for engaging with access in the arts, and increase Tangled Art + Disability’s community partnerships with other arts organizations such as their partner organization Gallery TPW and along with leading to other future collaborations that may emerge from the publication and dissemination of the Anthology.

Developing an Equity Assessment Tool for Municipal Leadership

Cities are increasingly being asked to attend to equity considerations in their decision-making processes. While some cities have adopted overarching frameworks aimed at embedding equity into the work of municipalities, there remains a gap in applying or operationalizing equity, especially in public-facing decision-making. Building on advocacy work conducted by local NGO Women Transforming Cities, the proposed research seeks to collect and analyze existing tools aimed at moving municipal equity commitments from statements to actions, and use these tools to develop an implementable evaluation tool from the City of Vancouver’s Equity Framework. Targeted at City leaders, the prototype tool would help decision-makers effectively consider the impact their policies and motions have on equity-deserving groups. It would also be a step toward holding elected officials accountable to the equity work they committed to during their election campaigns.

Simulation-based Testing and Fault Localization of IoT Systems

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects a plethora of smart devices globally across various applications like smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and health monitoring. IoT systems are predominantly software-defined, making them susceptible to quality issues on a large scale. This research aims to improve IoT trustworthiness through simulation-based testing and automated fault localization. Existing IoT systems face challenges in automated testing and fault localization due to high costs, inadequate support for constructing high-fidelity IoT simulators, and limitations in synthetic data generation and fault localization techniques. The research, driven by industry, intends to create a holistic, end-to-end testing and fault-localization framework using software engineering and artificial intelligence methods. The results will enable more effective, efficient, and economical testing and fault localization for complex IoT systems, benefiting Cheetah Networks and other IoT service providers by helping them estimate and monitor their systems’ quality through simulation before large-scale IoT service deployment.

Improving Equity in Access to Palliative Care

The new Frontenac Lennox and Addington Ontario Health Team for our region has established palliative care of one of its priorities and formed a Palliative Care Partnership of stakeholders involved in providing palliative care across the FLA. The objective of this project is to improve access to palliative care for underserved and marginalized populations, especially the homeless and vulnerably housed. As an intern, I will provide quality improvement expertise, project organization, and research implementation following the Ontario Health Teams Quality Improvement Plan. Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used for data collection, including The Ontario Palliative Care Network Care “Caregiver Voice” survey and focus groups. This project will ensure all interested parties, including key partners, supervisors, the intern, and patients, have equal voice in the project execution. This project will work to better understand and address the barriers to providing palliative care, especially for disadvantaged groups (i.e., vulnerably housed, and homeless).

Using AI to inform Doctors in a Cardiology Platform

Cardiac specialists spend anywhere from 60-70% of their patient consult working with electronic medical record (EMR) software attempting to extract salient patient data that leads to providing the most accurate diagnosis and care path. Cadea Health Inc. is seeking to reduce the workload cardiologist face by taking advantage of AI to intelligently gather and present relevant information. Cardea’s platform is seeking to utilize AI to extract non-standardized patient data from multiple sources into a coherent data flow and single source. Once the correct data is extracted, it further will utilize AI to then present the most relevant care paths based on the best regional practices and guidelines which can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The first task will undertake NLP algorithms to both recognize cardiological terms and be able to locate relevant data. The second task will most likely take advantage of text embedding and vector databases to locate relevant information based on the NLP results that correlate to jurisdiction. This project will focus on the NLP aspects of this project. We expect preliminary results that can be used to help guide the larger research project.

Employment diversity in the renewable energy sector

If Canada is to meet its ambitious climate goals, addressing persistent labour and skills shortages will be a necessary condition. The research project aims to analyze the employment patterns and composition that current prevail in the electricity and renewable energy sector compared to the broader economy. The research will, in turn, empirically shed light on the various factors underpinning diversity (or lack thereof) in employment in the electricity and renewable energy sector. In doing so, the analysis will help to shape policies to attract workers to the sector, especially those traditionally under-represented, which will be key to Canada’s economic and environmental success.

Télédétection de caractéristiques de bâtiments à partir d’imagerie aérienne haute résolution

L’imagerie aérienne offre de nombreuses opportunités en assurances: simplification de la souscription grâce à la complétion automatique de champs, amélioration de l’indemnisation grâce à des images post-catastrophes, raffinement de la tarification grâce à l’obtention de nouvelles données sur les caractéristiques physiques d’un lieu, etc. Cependant, l’utilisation de ce type de donnée pose plusieurs défis techniques.
L’objectif de ce stage est d’utiliser l’imagerie haute résolution afin de développer des modèles de vision numérique capables d’extraire automatiquement des caractéristiques d’une propriété comme la présence de cheminées et la forme et l’état du toit. Ceci nécessitera le développement de nouveaux algorithmes, le croisement de différents jeux de données pertinents et la mise en place de pipelines robustes.

Acceptance and Commitment Training with Autistic Youth and Young Adults

Autistic youth and adults often experience a drop-off in supports as they transition to adulthood, especially in evidence-based interventions that support their mental health and wellbeing. Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) is an evidence-based therapy based on mindfulness and behavioural principles that has preliminary support to improve the wellbeing of autistic people. The present project plans to 1) co-develop an ACT intervention with autistic youth and adults, 2) pilot and evaluate this intervention delivered in a group format with 6-8 autistic youth and adults, and 3) co-create an ACT manual for autistic youth and young adults. This group-based ACT intervention will fill a vital gap in the services currently offered to autistic youth and adults at CAMH, while also providing important information about its feasibility and effectiveness.

Probing the effects of polymer flocculants on the treatment of oil sands mature fine tailings

Treating oil sands tailings presents a significant technical and environmental challenge for Canada’s oil sands industry. It is crucial to settle and consolidate tailings, reclaim the affected land, and to further recycle/reuse the water trapped in the tailings for oil sands processing. The proposed research aims to tackle the tailings treatment and water management in two aspects. Firstly, this work will develop a reliable and field-representative laboratory protocol to evaluate the performance of polymer flocculants and investigate the effects of various parameters (such as temperature, polymer concentration and pH) on the tailing treatment efficiency. Secondly, this work will characterize the fundamental molecular and surface interaction mechanisms underlying the stabilization and dewatering of oil sands tailings facilitated by chemical additives. This research will advance the development of more effective flocculants, and has the potential to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of tailings treatment processes for Canadian oil industry.
