The research project intends to test various aspects of data collection using a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) in order to assess the suitability for small sites (~1 ha). Ideal conditions for UAV based mapping will be determined and compared to other traditional methods. To identify suitable conditions, the relationship between accuracy and several factors (the […]

Sugarbush Spa is a London-based company that specializes in the removal of unwanted body hair by a method known as sugaring. The method, used for centuries in the Middle East, has several notable advantages over traditional waxing. Commercially available sugaring pastes suffer from inconsistency in production and unsatisfactory performance. At its core, the creation of […]

Deep learning systems can predict properties of chemical substances but do so in a purely mathematical way. As a consequence, the user does not get any feedback on what are the essential properties a chemical must have to exhibit a certain property. This hampers getting any insight in to the relationship between molecular structure and […]

This project explores how to make quantum computers more reliable by implementing how we control and measure a special kind of quantum bit called a “cat qubit.” Quantum bits, or qubits, are the basic units of information in a quantum computer, much like bits in a regular computer. This research aims to find ways to […]

Dans les conditions de basses températures et de faibles densités qui caractérisent le milieu interstellaire, il peut être démontré, par des arguments de symétrie, que l’interconversion des isomères de spins nucléaires (ISN) de la molécule d’hydrogène, o-H2 ? p-H2, est interdite. Des calculs théoriques ont cependant estimé que, dans ces conditions, les temps de conversion […]

This project develops programmable micro-lens arrays made from soft, temperature-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). Using digital micromirror lithography, the research will enable lenses that can adjust their focus through controlled shape changes. The collaboration between the University of Waterloo and Kent State University aims to advance adaptive optics for next-generation imaging and sensing technologies.

Classroom response tools such as the ‘clicker’ are devices that students use in class to answer multiple-choice questions. Many studies have shown that clickers can lead to increased learning when properly used. Learning Catalytics is a new web-based tool marketed by Pearson that is meant to replace clickers. While Learning Catalytics offers more features than […]

Ruken Family Office Corporation is an investment firm specializing in data-driven strategies, risk modeling, and computational finance. As financial markets become increasingly reliant on high-performance computing, emerging technologies like quantum computing have the potential to reshape computational methodologies. However, the scalability and practical viability of quantum computing remain uncertain. This project aims to identify which […]

Using simplified language, please provide a general one-paragraph description of the proposed project including the expected benefit to the participating institutions. My project aims to better understand the impacts and significance of chlorine and chlorine-containing compounds in the atmosphere of Cape Verde. This will be conducted as part of the University of York’s Chlorine Enhancement […]

This MITACS project between the University of Waterloo (UW, host supervisor: Prof. Na Young Kim) and Yonsei University (YU, home supervisors: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo and Prof. Chae-Yeun Park) aims to develop a room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator. The room-temperature system can contribute to solving a complex many-body problem, since it does not require cryogenic cooling that […]

One of the biggest mysteries in modern physics is “dark energy”. This strange form of energy makes up over half of our Universe and is causing space to expand faster and faster. Even 30 years after its Nobel Prize-winning discovery, we still have no clear idea what dark energy actually is. Scientists have come up […]

L’entreprise UCP Paint est un manufacturier de peintures architecturales et de produits de spécialités. Il s’agit d’un domaine fortement compétitif où la qualité des matières premières et leur accès peuvent être problématiques. Le projet vise à développer des méthodes de caractérisation de ces matières et des outils de classification de leur qualité et de leur […]
