Sensorless Control of Brushless DC Motors at Low Speeds

Accelerated Systems is a leader in the design and implementation of control systems for electric vehicles; especially vehicles driven by permanent-magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motors. One of the key technological challenges in the use of BLDC motors is that traditional control, especially at low speeds, requires external sensors to determine the rotor position. These external sensors then become an added cost and maintenance challenge. In this project, we will investigate novel control strategies that infer the rotor position from measurements of motor voltages and currents only. A successful design will provide Accelerated Sytems with a unique technological advantage that will allow them to become the premier global supplier of controls for BLDC motors in electric vehicle applications.

Developing genomic and transcriptomic tools for analysis of cannabinoid producing yeast strains

The therapeutic potential of cannabinoids is well established. The study of these molecules is primarily based on their availability from the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa). In addition to common cannabinoids, there are dozens of rare cannabinoids produced in C. sativa with potential therapeutic benefits that cannot be fully evaluated because of their scarcity. Thus, there is a need for alternative production methods for these molecules. Willow Analytics is developing yeast strains that are capable of producing two rare cannabinoids that cannot be practically sourced from cannabis plants. Part of our development cycle is the analysis of the biological sequences of successive yeast strains. We currently have a bottleneck in building the computational pipelines for the analysis of our yeast strains and cannabis plants. This project will focus on building fully-automated pipelines for yeast data processing, designed specifically for development of strain engineering.

Redesigning the organization of the future: an investigation and experimentation of new impact-driven business and operational models.

Groundswell, a Toronto-based design consultancy, is seeking to understand, study and experiment with new non-hierarchical organization structures. In partnership with UofT’s Business Design Initiative research team, they will investigate and experiment with the redesign of for-purpose and value-driven organizations to better respond to today’s economic climate described as volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous or VUCA. They will engage in a series of generative design sessions and prototype new organizational and operational models that prioritize equity, inclusion, and impact over growth and profit-making, for themselves and the clients they serve. This project is significant in generating new knowledge and new models of non-hierarchical organizational structures and processes that will be piloted by Groundswell, resulting in potentially new innovation-service blueprints and/or offerings (aka product, process or service innovation). In addition to applying BDM to their organization, Groundswell has agreed to co-author an instructional case study for use at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.

Modeling the phenotypic effects of neuromodulatory agents on human neuronal cells using cerebral organoids

Emerging therapeutic agents that function through the brain’s neurotransmitter systems have recently shown robust benefits in a number of otherwise challenging to treat neurological conditions including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The long-term changes that these agents induce within neural tissue is still however unclear. This MITSCS program aims to to use expertise in tissue bioengineering models to explore the molecular changes that modulation of these pathways induces in neuronal cells. By growing and analyzing artificial humanoid brain tissue in the presence and absence of various relevant neuromodulatory agents, scientists will help us better understand their downstream and long-term molecular changes. These insights are expected to help provide a stronger understanding of how these novel neurotransmitter pathways improve brain function, will help improve their safety, and guide new indication for use of this emerging drug classes for other difficult to manage neurological disorders.

Automatic Mapping of Residential Rooftops using High-Resolution Thermal Imagery and Machine Learning

MyHEAT Inc. (industry partner) provides on-line tools/services to reduce urban waste energy. Currently, the company relies on sourced municipal, private, or publicly available GIS roof polygons which it combines with its proprietary high-resolution (H-Res) airborne thermal infrared (TIR) imagery to generate personalized rooftop heat-loss maps/metrics. Unfortunately, these GIS polygons are often incomplete, inaccurate and out-of-date. To mitigate these issues, this project proposes two main goals: (1) test and optimize two leading-edge Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) methods (SegNet and U-Net) for automatic and accurate rooftop delineation from MyHEAT’s existing TIR imagery, and (2) define the optimal TIR spatial resolution for CNN based rooftop delineation. The key benefits to MyHEAT include: (i) reduced data acquisition/processing costs as their optimal resolution TIR imagery will be the only data source required for heat-loss metrics, and (ii) speeding up their entire analytical pipe-line, as there will be no need to acquire, correct, or negotiate for sourced GIS roof data.

High Efficiency GaN RF Power Amplifiers for 5G and Beyond Applications

This research project will be a collaborative effort to explore, understand, and capitalize on the growing market shift from Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductors (LDMOS) to Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based radio units in the base station market, which is ever-growing with the increased demand for 5G. The intern will be trained on simulation, measurement, design, and development tools that will allow for a comprehensive analysis of these GaN-based units. The intern will learn valuable practical design skills that are complementary to her theoretical work and Recon-RF will benefit from a proven technique that will answer their needs for future designs. Between this upskilling and the candidate’s current Master’s thesis work, along with the expertise and resources offered by Recon-RF, the collaboration will demonstrate advanced waveform engineering products that are guaranteed to have a large impact in the base station and 5G market.

L’effet de l’oniérage sur la productivitéforestière

L’orniérage est l’impact de la machinerie sur les sols (par ex. la compaction) qui peut causer une
perte de croissance de la régénération après coupe, et ce, à court et à long terme. C’est un problème
important dans les écosystèmes caractérisés par des sols à textures fines. Cependant, dans les
écosystèmes avec les sols plus grossiers, comme notre aire d’étude, nous ne savons pas si cette
perturbation aura des effets négatifs ou des effets positifs suite aux activités de scarifiage. L’étude
vise à caractériser les facteurs favorisant une perte de productivité suite à l’ornièrage et déterminer
quels endroits sont à risque et lesquels ne sont pas une préoccupation. Pour ce faire, nous
analyserons les caractéristiques du sol ainsi que l’abondance et la croissance des arbres dans des
sites perturbés et non-perturbés Au final, cette étude permettra d’isoler les conditions du milieu où
l’orniérage cause une perte de productivité forestière.

Measurement and Modeling of Pandemic Effects on Door-to-Door Bottle Recycling

SkipTheDepot is a door-to-door bottle collection service based in Calgary which allows users in Calgary and Edmonton areas to request bottle recycling pickups, and the COVID 19 pandemic has caused demand for these services to increase. In order to meet rising demand, it is important to develop a clear understanding of how the service is used currently, how the service may be used in the future, and how usage affects the overall performance of the collection system. The proposed research project will develop a simulation model of SkipTheDepot’s door-to-door bottle collection, based on historical pickup data. This simulation will be used to test the service at different levels of demand and identify specific areas where efficiency or performance may be improved.

The experiences of Indigenous school psychology trainees working with Indigenous communities

To date, there is little understanding of how to adapt school psychology practice to fit the needs of Indigenous populations. This project seeks to understand the current challenges that exist for school psychology practice with Indigenous peoples and what changes are needed to advance the practice. By completing autobiographical studies, Indigenous master’s students-in-training who will be working with First Nations communities and Indigenous students are uniquely positioned to consider how school psychology can better serve the interests of their people. Their reflections on the interests, needs, barriers, and processes they encounter can help to inform most effective-practice for the profession.
