KidsAbility is the leading provider of pediatric rehabilitation in Waterloo and Wellington, supporting 17,000 children each year. Rising demand and a shortage of trained clinicians have made it difficult to keep up, leading to longer wait times for families in need. KidsAbility is exploring the use of group therapy in their Speech Language Therapy (SLT) […]

Increasingly prevalent patient violence within the dementia population is a challenge to long term care providers. Violent incidents can lead to serious musculoskeletal and neurological health complications. I propose to use video surveillance and a novel brain monitoring system in a care facility-based elderly population, to monitor violent episodes and brain vitality after incidents. This […]

Depuis plusieurs décennies, les propriétaires riverains du lac Saint-Pierre, dans le Kamouraska, s’inquiètent de l’état de santé de leur lac. Plusieurs études ont relevé des signes d’eutrophisation. L’étude réalisée par Pro Faune en 2006 indique que les apports en phosphore dépassent probablement la capacité de support du lac. Depuis la parution de ces rapports, les […]

Recent studies in quantum computing have demonstrated that the localized unitary Jastrow (LUCJ) ansatz, a promising electronic structure method capable of running on near-term quantum hardware, can surpass exact solutions on classical hardware by using quantum-centric supercomputing. However, scalable and efficient methods for initializing the LUCJ ansatz remain underexplored in current research. We propose a […]

Lithium-ion batteries with silicon anodes have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional theoretical specific capacity of approximately 3,590 mAh/g at room temperature—nearly ten times that of conventional graphite anodes (~372 mAh/g). However, the practical application of silicon anodes faces challenges such as significant volume expansion during lithiation, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, and capacity fading […]

Dans un contexte hivernale de plus en plus changeant, il devient primordial de se doter de méthodes de détection efficaces. Ce projet vise à développer et valider des méthodes de détection des contaminants dans les produits de dégivrage aéroportuaires afin d’optimiser leur efficacité et réduire leur impact environnemental. En combinant des approches analytiques avancées et […]

SaskEnergy developed an in-situ remediation program using a soil vapour extraction (SVE) system to facilitate recovery of petroleum hydrocarbons at the Cantuar Site. One of main problems associated with this program is the deficiency in the knowledge of process control based on the fate and transport of contaminants, and effective studies for assessing the environmental […]

This project aims to help Canadian UAV startups improve the safety and reliability of their autopilot systems by creating a software tool that checks and fine-tunes how these systems perform. Using a method called structured H8 synthesis, implemented through MATLAB, the intern will build a framework that ensures flight control systems meet key industry requirements, […]

Le projet consiste en la collecte et l’analyse de données suivi du prélèvement des échantillons dans l’usine de traitement de minerai existante ciblée (Detour Lake) afin d’estimer les flux de MCS qui transitent à travers celle-ci sans être valorisés. Les résultats du projet permettront à moyen terme d’offrir un moyen de co-valorisation de ces métaux […]

Wastewater is one of the primary point-source contaminants polluting freshwater sources, including shallow groundwater sources. Over 80% of wastewater worldwide is neither collected nor treated and more than 70% of sewered wastewater from human activities is discharged without any form of pollution control, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. This project, in collaboration with Centre […]
