Living Architecture STEAM Kits, User Experience Interfaces, and Folio Publications

Transforming Architecture: Pluripotent and Quasigeostrophic Space is an interdisciplinary research program investigating new materials, tools, methods and frameworks in the field of living responsive architecture, an emerging sub-discipline of architecture that focuses on how buildings respond to their occupants. Part of that work involves creating and disseminating kits and publications to help individuals access and understand living architecture. By building and creating interactive environments with their own hands, the potential of these new systems can be truly developed and disseminated. In this project, two interns will work on refining the physical and electronic structure for these kits, as well as the development of intuitive software interfaces to make it easier to design and control them. This allows Riverside Architectural Press to translate innovative research from experts and engage with a wider audience that includes researchers, artists, and designers. Creation of a kit for interactive architecture allows for the distillation of key LASG concepts into a digestible learning tool for STEAM education. By drawing from principles of Open Source, the publications and kit engages students and the community, creating a critical discourse through making and design research that will be available to all Canadians.

Feeling Belonging In Your Community and Programs: Supporting research among child- and youth-serving organizations in Waterloo Region

Feeling belonging is important for all people, including children. Many organizations want to help children feel they belonging in their communities and the programs they attend (such as recreation or education programs). But to do this, organizations need a way to measure belonging and see how it changes over time. This project addresses this need by scientifically-testing tools to measure children’s feelings of belonging to their community and programs they attend. Information collected through this testing process will also allow researchers to answer questions like, “Which groups of children most need help feeling they belong?” and “What are the features of programs that children tend to feel the most belonging in?”. These answers will be shared back to community organizations to help them decide how to allocate resources and structure their community programs to most benefit the children in their community.

Measuring Structural Diversity using Lacunarity

Forests are important for a variety of ecological, social, and economic values. With climate change, forest ecosystems are globally impacted. More diverse, complex forests are thought to be resilient to climate change impacts. Forest complexity is a well established concept , yet poorly quantified. For forest managers and conservation biologists to make informed decisions, quantitative measures of complexity are required. This project utilizes a measure of complexity referred to as lacunarity. In simple terms, lacunarity measures the presence of gaps in vegetation structure. We propose using lacunarity to describe the vertical and horizontal complexity of forest structure using a variety of data sources including ground data, spherical imagery, and LiDAR.

Developing an AI math tutor using large language models and transdermal optical imaging

We propose to combine large language models with transdermal optical imaging (a novel contactless imaging technology we invented to decode human psychophysiology) to develop an AI-assisted tutor to teach children mathematical problem-solving while monitoring their psychophysiology. This research endeavors to bridge the gap between technological innovation and pedagogical efficacy. The seamless integration of these advancements holds promise for creating a more dynamic and responsive educational ecosystem that caters to the unique learning profiles and emotional states of young learners.

International Japanese Nursing Missions

The objective of this research project is to systematically review and analyze existing literature on Japanese international nursing missions to understand the scope and impact of these missions on a global scale. This will involve examining the various aspects of Japanese nursing missions on global healthcare, including the geographical reach, activities, outcomes, and understanding their broader impact. It will also include examining the barriers and facilitators faced by Japanese nursing teams in diverse international settings, the evolution of their scope of practice, and how the source country, Japan, copes with the loss of nurses towards these international nursing missions. Due to the scarcity of available literature published in English, discussions and insights from experts in the nursing profession in Japan will be conducted that will guide the search and inform this study.

Analyzing lactate metabolism in cell culture with paper chips

Le but du projet est de concevoir un dispositif sur papier pour la détection du lactate dans les cellules en culture. Le lactate est un sous-produit du métabolisme et un marqueur du caractère invasif du cancer. En effet, les tumeurs deviennent hypoxiques durant leur croissance, ce qui altère le métabolisme. La consommation de glucose dans les tumeurs est élevée, tout comme la production de lactate, connue sous le nom d’effet Warburg, une glycolyse aérobie typique des tumeurs invasives. Ces conditions (faible teneur en oxygène, métabolisme, …) sélectionnent des types de cellules plus agressifs et aggravent la maladie. Il est donc intéressant de mieux comprendre le rôle du lactate en biologie cellulaire.
En combinant les technologies du papier à la détection électrochimique, nous envisageons de créer un dispositif robuste et non spécialisé pour des mesures rapides. Les dispositifs seront testés sur des cellules en culture, pour suivre les niveaux de lactate en tant que déchet métabolique pendant la culture afin de démontrer la viabilité de notre approche. Nous prévoyons trois étapes:
1- Fabrication des puces
2- Fonctionnalisation enzymatique des puces
3- tests en culture cellulaire
Le produit du projet sera un dispositif bioanalytique pour l’analyse chimique en culture cellulaire du métabolisme.

Defect-Controlled 2D Material Platforms for Quantum Light Sources

The development of quantum technology is exciting frontier being pursued globally due to its potential for transformative innovations across information security, communications, medicine, energy and more. A critical component if the availability of robust quantum light sources. This research focuses on a promising approach – creating quantum light sources that can operate at room temperature. Current quantum computing relies heavily on superconducting circuits which must be kept at ultra-low temperature, requiring complex cooling systems that consume tremendous energy. The ability to generate and control quantum light at room temperature would be a major breakthrough. In this study, the trainee aims to induce atomic defects in hexagonal boron nitride, a two-dimensional material just atoms think, to create a room-temperature quantum light source. The material will be synthesized in Korea, then analyzed using cutting-edge imaging techniques at McMaster University in Canada. This international collaboration allows knowledge transfer in both directions. By combining strengths from both sides, the researchers hope to make significant strides toward realizing practical, energy-efficient quantum light sources – a pivotal achievement that could catalyze the broader quantum technology.

McMaster MPP in Digital Society: Social Capital Partners

For over twenty years, Social Capital Partners has invested in projects and people with the goal of using our capital to create more economic opportunity. We have chosen to take risks, try things that others are not doing, and co-design solutions with our partners that can be scaled. We invest where we are uniquely placed to have a big impact and over the years have had some big successes – and some failures! – supporting social finance, social enterprise, community infrastructure and demandled social hiring. For the past five years SCP has focused on the ownership agenda. We have worked with our network to change the policy landscape to make it easier for more workers to have an ownership stake in the business they work for – building wealth, financial security and economic resilience for themselves and their communities. We are continuing our work on the ownership agenda, but are now embarking on SCP’s next strategic phase. In the coming years we will focus on solutions, projects, policy, advocacy and investments that reverse the trend towards greater wealth inequality and greater concentration of assets. This is a natural extension of our work on the ownership agenda. We believe that extreme wealth inequality is incompatible with democratic stability. We believe the system as currently designed leads to extreme wealth concentration and is therefore unsustainable. We believe that public policy can make an impact on these issues, and properly designed policy can incent private actors in better ways. Social Capital Partners – we invest in projects, build networks, conduct research and advocate for policies that reduce wealth concentration and expand asset ownership.

The toxic effect of major depression

Major depression (MDD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder. The aim of this project is to examine the link between specific molecular alterations and neuropathology in the brain in patients with MDD. We will use post-mortem brains that were collected by the Sao Paulo autopsy service. More specifically, oxidative modifications to proteins and lipids, and levels of neurotrophins, which are necessary for the survival of neurons and glial cells, will be measured and correlated with markers of neurodegeneration. We hypothesize that oxidative stress and neurodegeneration will be increased in patients with MDD, but neurotrophins will be decreased in patients. We also hypothesize that increased oxidative stress and decreased neurotrophins will be associated with greater neurodegeneration in patients with MDD. This project will expand our understanding of the link between neurodegeneration and specific molecular alterations in MDD, and may reveal targets that can be used for the development of novel interventions.

Using a multicontinental invasion framework to understand constraints on movement and range expansion in an aquatic invasive fish species, the round goby

Our proposed project will examine how invasive species spread. We plan to address this question by studying an invasive fish species, the round goby, and compare individuals at the invasion front with individuals in the established areas of the range on two continents (Europe and North America). Our aim is to determine if there is a common phenotypic signature of range expansion by investigating if individuals with particular physiological or behavioural traits are the ones most likely to expand the invasion forward in both in France and Canada. To conduct this research, the research team will leverage cutting edge techniques and expertise at McMaster University and at Lyon University. The research project will serve as a fruitful launching pad for a more sustained collaboration between the French and Canadian teams, with accompanying opportunities for strong multidisciplinary international training. The trainee will work together with the supervisors to conduct field work and run experiments in the lab. They will fully immerse themselves in the research environment of the partner institution. The unique capabilities and knowledge provided by each host lab will facilitate this investigation on how particular behaviours, morphology and physiology might promote or slow down invasion speed and success.
