The proposed research project consists of an educational and research component. The intern will deliver a workshop/seminar series to the industrial partner, transferring the basics of polymer science to Lintec’s staff to used in material selection processes. Second, the intern will research biodegradable polymers for suitability in flexible packaging films as one possible route to […]

This project will attempt to explore the solution space around a number of key issues related to passive underwater acoustic monitoring. Namely the mitigation of acoustic flow noise in turbulent environments, digital compression techniques for underwater acoustic data and the implementation of real time signal processing algorithms related to the detection of marine mammals on […]

Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, is a significant visual problem in childre n worldwide. Lack of proper visual development during the first 8 years after birth leads to deficits in sensory and perceptive stimuli processing. Around 5% of children in the world are commonly affected with amblyopia. When left untreated, amblyopia affects everyday activities, quality […]

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) exhibits superior material-level strength, ductility, and durability when compared to conventional concrete. Therefore, UHPC is being increasingly applied in concrete industry. However, prestressed UHPC girders may often show low structural ductility, which poses threats to precast/prestressed industry. This intern is going to create a large database of prestressed UHPC girder test […]

Pour cela, Famic souhaite un développement stratégique dans son offre de solutions par l’introduction d’une plateforme permettant un environnement d’apprentissage et de conception créative, […]

Sunnybrook Research Institute has developed the Medventions internship program, an immersive 4-month project-based internship program that brings together multidisciplinary teams of students in the process of identifying hospital-based clinical challenges and the conceptualization and implementation of technology to improve healthcare. The interns are given a unique opportunity to directly observe the full cycle of care […]

The partner organization operates in the dynamic electric vehicle (EV) industry, aiming to address the challenge of making light electric vehicles more affordable without compromising performance. This is particularly evident in e-bikes, e-motorcycles, e-scooters, and e-wheelchairs. The high cost of these vehicles, coupled with efficiency challenges, hinders widespread adoption. The project targets the cost and […]

Sustainable agriculture has a significant and multifaceted role in promoting human health and well-being. There are many approaches to achieving wellness and an aeroponic growing solution is an excellent way to promote wellness by cultivating fresh, nutritious plants and thereby providing an indoor natural environment. In addition, the urban population in Canada is experiencing unprecedented […]

In the dynamic field of construction project management, accurately forecasting project performance remains a significant challenge. Budget overruns and schedule delays are common issues, and despite the abundance of available data, existing forecasting practices struggle to effectively leverage this information. This study addresses gaps in the current literature by proposing a data-driven approach to enhance […]

2.1.b. Objectives and approach (the what and the how) obj1: Understanding Healthcare Requirements for Medical Data: Initiate in-depth studies with healthcare professionals to understand their specific needs for visualizing medical data in MR. This could involve examining existing VR solutions in healthcare, and conducting focus groups and interviews with doctors, surgeons, and medical staff to […]

This project is fundamentally about business development and identifying user needs in the face of climate change, a critical issue that poses significant threats to urban water infrastructure resiliency. The focus is on the anticipated challenges caused by changing precipitation patterns, increasing temperatures, and rising demand leading to freshwater scarcity and declining quality. Such climate […]

it is planned to devise 3D printable PLA-PEG gels hosting st EOs (called emulgels). The primary objective of this research is to develop innovative methods to manufacture multifunctional 3D-printed hydrogels that can be applied to wound treatments. The challenges include stabilization of EO droplet in gel media along with engineering the rheological properties of emulgels […]
