Climate Finance and Youth Unemployment for COVID19 Recovery

The COVID19 crisis has had an immense impact in loss of employment across nations and sectors. Youth are one of the most impacted demographic groups as job security has become more precarious. With a main objective of addressing youth unemployment in recovery packages while remaining committed to climate progress, this project proposes a quantitative and qualitative research methodology to analyze the policy recommendations and financial figures found in economic recovery packages and policies. This research aims to reveal how governments can successfully use public funding, namely through economic recovery packages and climate finance to catalyze youth employment potentially through education and training, while simultaneously accelerating progress on climate goals.

Validation Techniques for an Application Program Interface for Artificial Intelligence Agents Operating on an Internet of Things

This research project will aid in the creation of safe networks of wireless devices, such as security cameras. Computer software using artificial intelligence will watch the networks for problems with the devices or misuses of the networks. In particular, this project will discover ways to ensure that the networks are compatible with the right kind of artificial intelligence software. Smart Talk Beacon, the partner organization, will be creating the protocols for the networks and the artificial intelligence software in order to make sure that both the software and the networks are compatible with each other. They will benefit from this project because it will help them make networks safer, and more secure with the assistance of artificial intelligence software.

Youth Engagement in Social Enterprise and Co-operative Development: Supporting Economic Adaptation in Rural Communities in Atlantic Canada in Context of Covid 19

Communities and regions throughout Canada have just been hit with a bomb that is a major threat multiplier: Covid 19. Across the country, rural municipalities that were already struggling economically are now struggling even more with how they should move forward, and support economic recovery and stabilization.
This research project will focus on how to rapidly engage youth in social enterprise, community enterprise and the co-operative model as a means of helping to rebuild and strengthen the economies of their communities in the context of Covid 19 and its aftermath.

Immunotyping of COVID-19 patient sera using novel protein complementation-based assays

In order to help deal with COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need for development of fast, reliable, and sensitive tests that will be capable of detecting IgG and IgM proteins directly in people’s blood. Our novel test for detection of IgG and IgM proteins in the blood offers several major advantages compared to other tests currently on the market: (i) highly quantitative; (ii) compatible to large scale investigation; (iii) fast performance; (iv) limited procedures; (v) small volume of blood sample required; (vi) no need for special equipment beside a common plate reader, and (vii) no need for special training for operators. This test can be used not only for clinical testing but also for large scale epidemic investigations. Moreover, once the framework has been set up, the same strategy can also be applied to monitor other infectious diseases. Our collaboration with Cyclica will greatly expand this work by allowing us to employing predictive modeling of the relevant protein-protein interactions, such as predict viral S protein-neutralizing compounds.

The Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic Response for People who are Marginalized

The current public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we socialize with eachother, how we access health care, and our economic conditions over a short period of time. For people who are marginalized, these changes may cause decreases in income, loss of social support and community connections, unstable home environments, more substance use withdrawal and overdose, and growing mental health concerns. Some responses to the pandemic, like physical distancing and financial challenges, are likely to last for months. The Government and non-governmental agencies have started programs and services to meet the needs of people who are marginalized but we do not know whether or how these are working. Our proposal will look at urgent needs to make sure that new investments are prioritized to areas of greatest impact, quickly identify and lower unintended harms, and target novel approaches that should be scaled-up. We will use mixed methods and work closely with communities in Toronto to identify and evaluate programs and to develop recommendations that will address the needs and improve the health and well-being of people experiencing marginalization.

Optimization of cloud computing usage cost through artificial Intelligence Techniques

Cloud computing allows consumers to reduce the costs associated with the purchase and maintenance of computing infrastructure, platform and software resources by exploiting on-demand resource provisioning and pay-per-use payment models. Although, cloud computing has offered significant benefits to the IT indistry, the research on cloud computing is currently at its infancy, with many issues still to be addressed. In this project, we will investigate current OpenStack based cloud computing services and state-of -the-art Artificial Intelligence and search-based techniques to research and develop an analytical engine, based on our previous work, for improving cost efficiencies and optimizations in cloud resource consumption. A full analysis will be conducted on applying Artificial Intelligence and search-based techniques on cloud computing platform and infrastructure in enterprise IT and the impact of business units within the organization. Recommendations for appropriate enterprise sofware license selection in combination with underlying cloud compute infrastructure, flagging high cloud data transfer…

An Integrated Knowledge Approach to Communicating the Impact of COVID-19 on the Mental Health and Well-Being of Caregivers and Available Resources for Families Living with Autism

Families (i.e. siblings) with children and adolescents with autism often experience demanding stressors and distress associated with providing care to their family member with autism. Distancing requirements imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have halted many of the programs that parents rely on for respite and support (e.g. interventions, day programs, schools, adapted recreation and leisure, etc.). This means parents have little or no assistance outside of the family to care for their child with autism. In this project, I aim to better understand what has been documented regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on caregiver and family functioning and identify the supportive programs that have emerged as a result. I will partner with Autism Ontario to create a lay summary report of these findings, and through our collaboration communicate the information to key knowledge users (i.e. clinicians, researchers) and families so that we can better support the mental health needs of families living with autism during this crisis.

Effect of Diesel Exhaust Exposures on the Respiratory Microbiome in COPD Airways

Some of the bacteria present in healthy lungs protect the lung against harmful germs. Studies have shown that people with lung diseases often lack these “good” bacteria in their lungs. Our team has been demonstrated that breathing polluted air causes lung inflammation, which can make it hard to breathe, especially for people who have lung diseases. We think that polluted air could change the lungs’ bacteria. To understand this, we will examine samples collected during a controlled human exposure to DE or filtered air (as a control) to evaluate the effect of polluted air on the lungs’ bacteria and lungs’ health. The Mitacs fellowship will help me in positioning myself as an expert at the intersection of environmental exposures and the airway microbiome, provides the support and guidance necessary for my transition to becoming an independent principal investigator and professor at one of the top Canadian universities. This study will contribute to the BC Lung Association’s mission of improving the respiratory health of British Columbians.

Graphene-based Corrosion Protective Coatings – Year Two

Globally, all small and large industrial operations pay high and increasing costs to compensate for the damage and losses caused by corrosion. Based on the statistics, in Canada, various industries spend more than $80 billion per year collectively to cover the direct and indirect costs of corrosion. Annually, hundreds of people are injured or killed due to accidents caused by corrosion damage to industrial equipment. The central theme of this research proposal is to design a new generation of graphene-based corrosion protective coatings for metallic surfaces with complex shapes. This research program specifically targets the conversion of Albany Pure Graphite powder to advanced graphene-based nanostructures such as graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via a novel chemical/electrochemical technique. The graphene synthesis technology will allow ZEN to convert its Albany Pure Graphite to value-added graphene at a large scale. The success of this project will lead to new protective coating technologies, Which has the potential to save billions of dollars for Canadian industries by reducing corrosion-induced material damage. The development of graphene-based coatings with corrosion inhibition properties will also result in positive environmental impacts, as durable protective coatings will prevent the leakage of hazardous chemicals into the environment.
