Collision (or crash) Severity Inference

Geotab is a global leader in IoT and connected transportation, providing valuable insights to over 80,000 customers worldwide by collecting more than 4 billion data points daily. The Safety & Video Analytics team at Geotab currently detects vehicle collisions using in-house machine learning models on telematics data. However, the severity of crashes is currently assessed solely through g-force measurements, which is not always reliable.
This project aims to develop a more sophisticated method to infer crash severity using additional data sources, such as kinematic data, contextual data lakes, and external crash databases (e.g., Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration – FMCSA). The new methodology will help in collision reconstruction, insurance claim processing, and overall vehicle safety analysis. By providing a more precise and data-driven severity assessment, Geotab can enhance its services for customers and insurance partners, leading to better risk evaluation, pricing, and claims management. The success of this project would help Geotab provide more contextual information about a crash to the customers that can be used for planning and for litigation purposes. This will also help us build more strategic partnerships by providing more value to our insurance partners

Pollution control of gas mixtures: gas monitoring and detection of contaminants usingnovel THz technology

Electric power plants are the number one toxic air polluters in North America. The emitted pollutants are proven to cause serious health and environmental issues. The emission of Carbon dioxide and of other pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide – major drivers of the human-accelerated global climate change- must be monitored insitu. Our goal for the present project is to explore the properties of Terahertz radiation for control of pollution in the atmosphere. In particular, we intend to develop a new waveguide-integrated gas monitor, based on Bragg grating sensors. Such devices, whose sensitivity will be increased through modulation via an external magnetic field, will be based on probing induced anisotropy. The integration of the proposed sensor into the existing line of products of our industrial partner, QPS Photronics, can potentially result in a versatile tool for industrial applications, which could give the company a leading edge over the competition.

Building a semi-supervised machine learning model to predict biomolecular condensates

Princess Margaret Cancer Centre belongs to the University Health Network (UHN), Canada’s leading biomedical research organization. The Centre focuses on cancer research across various fields, including genomics, informatics, signaling, health services, and biophysics.
Dr. Kumar’s lab is currently investigating the consequences of genomic alterations in intrinsically disordered regions (IDR). IDRs are present in proteins that undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and form biomolecular condensates [1]. IDRs lack a fixed structure yet play vital roles in cellular function [2]-[4]. Genetic alterations can disrupt biomolecular condensate activity, leading to neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer [5]. Despite their biological significance, IDRs are often overlooked in drug discovery. Current experimental methods to identify IDRs lack throughput. Therefore, this project aims to address these challenges by developing an advanced in-silico approach to predict LLPS proteins.
As a research assistant, the intern will take on this project and contribute to cutting-edge computational research. If successful, this in-silico approach could significantly reduce reliance on costly experimental procedures while accelerating breakthroughs in precision medicine. By enhancing predictive efficiency, this computational technique could open new avenues for drug discovery, enabling the targeted intervention in disordered proteins. Furthermore, identifying key LLPS proteins could provide deeper insights into cancer biology.
