The GenWell Challenge: Promoting Social Health Through Experiential Learning in Universities

Young adults are at risk for social disconnection, and the severity of this unfortunate reality has been compounded by a decade’s-long trend toward worsening social health. There is, therefore, an urgent need for strategies that will effectively promote social health. To this end, researchers at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with the GenWell Project, propose a project that underpin a social health pilot program that leverages the strengths of experiential learning. In the proposed experiential learning assignment, which will be piloted within a large introductory psychology course, students will collaboratively develop and share social health promotion messages. We expect that this program will serve two distinct purposes: First, the messages shared will advance the discourse around the importance of social health and strategies for improving it, and second, the experience of creating effective social health messaging will help students to internalize the value of social health, along with strategies for strengthening it. The work proposed for this project will lay a strong foundation for an impactful social health learning experience, for the research infrastructure that will measure its effectiveness, and for the eventual wide roll-out of this program to post-secondary institutions across Canada.

L2M – Reducing Radiation Dose in Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery Using Depth Camera Augmented Fluoroscopy (DeCAF)

The proposed project involves advancing UBC’s Depth-Camera-Augmented Fluoroscopy (DeCAF) system, a novel device for improving efficiency and reducing radiation exposure in orthopaedic trauma surgeries. DeCAF integrates a 3D depth camera with the conventional C-arm fluoroscope used for intraoperative imaging. The primary goal of our project is to assess the feasibility and market fit of the DeCAF system by testing the hypothesis that it effectively addresses a market problem and is viable for production, distribution, purchase, and adoption based on collected interview data. The Lab2Market Validate program will play a crucial role in refining our understanding of how DeCAF fits into the market, offering required training and facilitating extensive discovery interviews and analysis. More specifically, throughout this program, we aim to develop a commercialization plan for DeCAF. If we are successful, then the commercial development of DeCAF will generate benefits to Canada both in increasing economic activity in the high-tech sector and in its impact on healthcare, particularly by reducing the radiation exposure for the surgical team in orthopaedic trauma surgeries and increasing the efficiency of such procedures.

Quantum Error Correction with High-Dimensional Nuclear Spins

Quantum information processing is a game changer for information technology: currently information is representable as strings of binary digits, or bits, and logical processing is performed according to the principles of boolean algebra. Quantum mechanics allows us to work with superpositions of states and perform quantum logic, which preserves the coherence vital for quantum information science’s transformational benefits. Dramatic examples of quantum information’s prowess are the capability of almost exponentially faster factorisation of numbers and the ability to create information-theoretic communication security that is impervious to computational attacks. However, the foundations of quantum information processing are primarily constructed from the principles of bits and binary processing, but natural systems typically involve higher-dimensional information states, i.e., involving higher than base-2 (binary). This collaboration between theorists in Canada and experimentalists in Australia concerns qudits, which are quantum versions of base-d arithmetic. This project will develop optimal control techniques for manipulating one qudit, manifested in the high-spin antimony nucleus, and introduce and test quantum error correction for encoding a logical qubit. Schemes for quantum control and error correction could overcome noise on high-dimensional nuclear spins and pave the way towards fault-tolerant quantum computing—addressing a key challenge in unlocking the potential of quantum computing.

Economies of Deviance: Sex Work and the Sport Mega-Event

Canada is in the midst of a 12-month federal debate regarding the constitutionality of prostitution-related activities which has led the Supreme Court of Canada and Government of Canada to seek international expertise to inform future policies and legislation. Parallel to this debate, in preparing for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American event, Toronto must plan for the influx of an international tourist market. The hosting of a sport mega-event of this nature has been said to heighten the demand for sex work and/or sex-related industries. Evidence-based research from former host cities is thus needed to inform the processes undertaken in a globally-recognized, sexually-progressive urban centre such as Toronto. This ethnographic research collaborative, in which I will travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and work with Dr. Thaddeus Blanchette to determine the impact of the 2014 FIFA World Cup on local sex economies, will offer data needed to inform our evolving sex economies.

Real-time dispatching of rebalancing tasks for a bike sharing network

Bike rebalancing involves the redistribution of bicycles among stations to mitigate potential system imbalances, addressing shortages or surpluses of bikes at individual stations. This task is done using trucks designed for moving bikes. The aim is to optimize the routing plan for these bike-moving trucks, deciding which stations to visit and the order to visit them. The plan also determines how many bikes to load and unload at each station. The primary objective is to prevent customer dissatisfaction caused by inefficiencies, such as stations running out of bikes as well as avoiding the situation where stations lack the capacity to drop the bike. The optimization framework seeks to minimize these undesirable outcomes while also reducing the operational cost of the system. This project focuses on the dynamic capacitated pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem. Given its NP-hard complexity, addressing this in real-time, particularly within a large-scale system, poses a substantial challenge necessitating advanced optimization techniques.

Chemically defined media for porcine muscle progenitor expansion – towards their application in cellular agriculture

Agriculture is on the brink of a paradigm shift due to sustainability challenges and the demands of a growing population. This transformation is being led by cellular agriculture, an emerging industry that encompasses lab-grown products ranging from sugar substitutes to meat-in-a-dish. Canada’s pork industry, one of the world’s largest, stands to benefit from this innovation given recent environmental and geopolitical challenges, by offering an ethical and sustainable alternative to traditional farming.
However, current production methods are hindering the commercial viability of cellular agriculture due to inefficiencies and high cost. Cell culture media, the nutrient-rich solution required for cell growth, has been designated the culprit. Largely, this is because media was originally designed for the biomedical industry, not for the large-scale cultivation of pig muscle cells, where cell requirements and economic expectations are vastly different.
Our collaborative team has partnered with Myo Palate to directly tackle challenges in culture media formulation development by leveraging our custom predictive algorithm. Unlike more dated approaches, this allows us to simultaneously evaluate multiple ingredients, assessing their impacts on cell growth and cost-effectiveness. This approach will drastically improve the efficiency of media formulation and quality of the cultured cells.

Microwave Spectroscopy of Antihydrogen

The Big Bang is predicted to have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter; however, the universe is dominated by matter and there is much less of its counterpart. The ALPHA (Antihydrogen Laser PHysics Apparatus) collaboration, based out of CERN, investigates the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem by creating and performing experiments on antihydrogen to compare it with hydrogen. Antihydrogen is composed of a single antiproton and positron, the antimatter counterparts of the proton and electron, respectively. Studying and understanding the atomic energy levels of antihydrogen is important because current theories of quantum electrodynamics predict these levels to be identical to hydrogen. The splitting of the 2S and 2P energy levels at zero magnetic field is known as the Lamb Shift and is an important transition in hydrogen. This project’s goal is to make a direct precision measurement of the Lamb shift in antihydrogen, which has the potential to lead to the discovery of a matter/antimatter difference. This project’s success will further the work of the ALPHA collaboration and be a significant result for all participating institutions, which benefits the greater quantum physics community.
