FendrAI: Building an AI-Driven Risk Assurance Engine with Insights

Enterprise organizations are increasingly facing significant financial risks caused by hidden vendor overspend, billing errors, and non-compliance with contractual agreements. Traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems often lack the intelligence and automation necessary to detect such discrepancies in real time. As a result, many organizations approve payments without properly validating invoice accuracy, leading to revenue leakage, prolonged disputes with vendors, and operational inefficiencies. This research project seeks to address these challenges by developing an AI-native model(s) designed to detect invoice anomalies and mitigate vendor overspending before payment approvals are processed. The proposed models integrate advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques, machine learning (ML) models, and document intelligence technologies to build a robust solution capable of parsing complex invoices, analyzing contractual agreements, and detecting potential anomalies in real time. By doing so, the project aims to advance the state of the art in financial automation and risk management for large enterprises.

Active Play for Lifelong Learning: Evaluation of a Co-Created Professional Development Program for Early Childhood Educators

Contrary to popular belief, children under five aren’t naturally active all day. In fact, most don’t get enough movement to support healthy development, and this matters, because over two-thirds of their waking hours are spent in childcare. Yet, many early childhood educators (Educators) receive little to no training in how to promote physical activity through active play.
This project, in partnership with Active for Life (AFL), a national organization funded by B2ten, evaluates the impact the pilot phased of a co-created professional development program designed to change that. Through surveys and interviews with Educators from six provinces, the project will uncover what helps active play thrive in busy, real-world childcare settings. The findings will help AFL refine and expand the program nationally.
By strengthening the capacity of Educators to integrate active play into daily routines and create a love of movement, this project supports the development of healthy physical activity habits in early childhood, habits that research shows are more likely to last into adulthood, ultimately potentially reducing chronic disease risk and contributing to a healthier population over time.

Association between ECMO Bridging to Transplant and Days to Discharge: A Historical Cohort Study of First Lung Transplant Recipients in British Columbia 2010 – 2024

More lung transplants are taking place across the world and in British Columbia. A type of life support, an artificial lung machine called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), has made it possible for patients who are more severely ill to receive a lung transplant. More and more patients are doing better with ECMO since it was first used. But we do not know how ECMO patients have been doing in BC. This project will describe the characteristics of patients who received their first lung transplant in BC between 2010 and 2024, with or without ECMO. We will then see how patients are doing after their transplant by checking how long they stay in the hospital. We will also look at whether they are alive when they leave the hospital after their lung transplant.
The partner organization (Legacy for Airway Health) will get better at helping people with lung and breathing problems by training more doctors and researchers to work together and do practical research in lung diseases. This partnership will help get what we learn in this project from research into real-world care more quickly. This will improve care for patients after ECMO and lung transplant.

Machine Learning for Personalized Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning Optimization using Historical Data

Radiation therapy treatment planning is a critical and highly complex step in cancer treatment, requiring significant expertise and time to adapt and personalize treatments to each patient’s condition. Current planning methods often rely on manual expertise and standardized approaches, which can limit the degree of personalization and contribute to variability in outcomes. This project addresses these challenges by leveraging machine learning techniques to learn from past patient treatment in order to inform the design of effective treatments for future patients. We cluster ML/AI techniques to meaningfully categorize patients into clusters based on their specific demographic, anatomical, geometric, and disease diagnostic features, and design personalized radiotherapy treatment plans informed by historical data. The goal is to provide clinicians with decision-support tools that improve efficiency, consistency, and personalization in treatment planning. Through close collaborations with WRHN, the methods are expected to be integrated into clinical practice, improving the quality of care for patients in Canada and enhancing the effectiveness of the workload for staff at the Canadian Cancer Centre.

Mapping of Single NV Centers Using Tunable Electric Field Saddle Points

The project will develop and test a novel technique to precisely determine the position of quantum emitters in diamond, specifically nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, which are among the most promising building blocks for future quantum technologies. This method leverages tunable electric fields and Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) to map NV centers with accuracy better than 10 nanometers, a significant improvement over traditional optical imaging techniques restricted by the diffraction limit. By enabling deterministic localization of individual NV centers, the approach lays the foundation for scalable quantum devices such as quantum sensors, secure communication nodes, and single-photon sources for high-fidelity qubit generation. The University of New Brunswick will contribute expertise in simulations, electrode design, and experimental techniques such as electron beam lithography and ion implantation, while the University of Sheffield will provide access to advanced nanofabrication and optical characterization facilities. This collaboration will not only strengthen both institutions’ research capacity but also accelerate the development of next-generation quantum technologies, while creating unique training opportunities for students in cutting-edge experimental and computational methods.

Development of noncytotoxic peptide-based antibiotic derivatives against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria

The emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance is an escalating public health issue that requires immediate interventions. Among the essential agents in combating bacterial infections are peptide-based antibiotics. These naturally occurring or synthetic molecules exert potent antibacterial activity through various mechanisms such as membrane disruption, inhibition of cell wall synthesis, and immunomodulation. Despite their therapeutic potential, the clinical usage of these antibiotics has been limited due to associated systemic toxicity. Moreover, their efficacy is continuously challenged by the increasing prevalence of resistant bacteria. In the proposed project, targeted structural modifications of peptide-based antibiotics will be explored to improve safety, while enhancing potency against clinically relevant and resistant pathogens. The findings of this study will guide the optimization of next-generation antibiotics with desirable pharmacological properties, as well as inform the design of other therapeutic agents. Furthermore, this collaboration will advance the scientific profile of both universities by directly contributing to public health priorities, addressing the global problem of antibiotic resistance.

Patient-Centred Design and Prototyping of Post-Surgical Recovery Garments: Data-driven bra designs for breast cancer patients

This project focuses on improving the design of post-surgical bras for people recovering from breast cancer surgery. In an earlier phase of the research, patients shared their experiences wearing a specially designed surgical bra after surgery. Their feedback highlighted issues with comfort, fit, gaps and how the bra made them feel during recovery. Phase Two builds on that feedback to improve the bra’s design so it better supports patients both physically and emotionally. The research intern will help develop and test new versions of the bra using real patient input gathered from interviews. The goal is to create a design that is more comfortable, easier to wear, and better suited to the specific needs of people healing from surgery. This project will benefit the partner organization by contributing to the development of a more patient-friendly, evidence-based recovery garment that focuses on patients’ needs and wants.

Improving the health and healthcare of people with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families

The Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health works to improve the health and mental health of adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD) and their families through research, clinical innovation, education and training, and knowledge exchange. Despite growing recognition of their needs, there remains limited information on effective models of care for this population. Our current work focuses on two key challenges. The first is how to deliver optimal primary care for adults with NDD. Research has shown that this population is less likely to receive high-quality primary care, and more evidence is needed on which primary care funding and delivery models in Ontario are associated with better outcomes. The second challenge is how to support the brain health of people with NDD and their families as they age. Thanks to medical advances and improved social supports, people with NDD are living longer than ever before, yet little is known about how best to support them in later life. Additionally, individuals with NDD, in particular those with Down syndrome, face a higher risk of developing dementia, but they are often excluded from mainstream dementia initiatives. This project will contribute to developing and evaluating effective models of care, while supporting knowledge translation with patients, families, and providers.

Pourquoi faire confiance à son gouvernement municipal ? Étude des facteurs susceptibles de favoriser la confiance et le dialogue entre la population et les gouvernements locaux

Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre la façon dont les gouvernements locaux peuvent renforcer le lien de confiance et favoriser le dialogue avec la population, au-delà des contextes électoraux ou des mécanismes formels de participation citoyenne. Il s’inscrit dans un contexte où des changements sociaux transforment les dynamiques de communication entre les personnes élues et la population, comme l’individualisation croissante et le désir de mécanismes plus décisionnels plus horizontaux. Il est réalisé en partenariat avec l’organisme Promotion des Estriennes pour Initier une Nouvelle Équité Sociale (PEPINES). Il permettra la création d’une boîte à outils communicationnelle qui pourra être utilisée par PEPINES auprès de son réseau de personnes élues.

Planar Photometric Scene Reconstruction

This project aims to develop a new method for creating realistic 3D digital models from photographs, specifically improving how flat and texture-less surfaces are reconstructed—an area where current techniques often fail. By combining two approaches—2D representations for flat areas and 3D representations for more complex shapes—the method improves both the visual appearance and accuracy of the final model. The system is built as a feed-forward model that automatically detects and refines planar regions, enabling fast and consistent reconstruction across diverse indoor scenes.
