Video game development involves complex debugging and quality assurance processes that require teams to analyze large amounts of technical information under tight deadlines. Developers and testers often rely on multiple disconnected tools, making it difficult to quickly identify problems, prioritize fixes, and make informed decisions. This can increase cognitive workload, slow down production, and affect […]

The Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec (CMAQ) is developing the Quartier des métiers d’art (QMA), a new cultural and economic hub that will bring together artisans, creators, and professionals working in heritage, design, and the built environment. Located in Montréal’s Bridge–Bonaventure sector, the project seeks to revitalize a historic industrial area by transforming it […]

I will explore how schools in China use nature to support the mental health of students and teachers/Administration. By observing classrooms and speaking with educators, I hope to understand which practices are most effective and how they might be adapted for use in other countries. The University of Windsor will benefit by gaining new research […]

This community-based research project will partner with Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) to identify how place-based community hubs – such as community centres, neighbourhood organizations, and frontline service non-profits – can catalyze equitable climate action. This project will help us understand how to address climate change equitably. Research has shown that climate action to date has […]

This project aims to use artificial intelligence to study how people interact with nature in cities and natural areas around the world. By analyzing millions of social media photos and captions, the research will identify different types of human activities, emotions, and cultural values connected to nature. The project combines computer vision, natural language processing, […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in Canada to help make decisions and to deliver public services, but research shows that AI systems can unintentionally reinforce social inequalities, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes for minority groups. Biases can appear when AI systems are trained on incomplete or skewed datasets, when development teams lack diverse […]

This proposed project investigates the differences in pedagogical methods in teaching sustainability across Canada and China. This research aims to use the UN’s sustainable development goals as an outline to approach sustainability issues. Research methods will be conducted through initiating casual conversations with students and educators, following the educators guide with the Chinese curriculum and […]

This community-based research project, undertaken through the U of T Climate Hub Catalyst Internship, partners with the Toronto Chinatown Land Trust (TCLT)-a community-controlled effort to build an inclusive, culturally competent, and ever-evolving Chinatown in Toronto. TCLT acquires, develops, and stewards land in perpetuity for community needs and benefit. Operating with the understanding that Chinatown exists […]

The project aims to design and test a strategy that helps healthcare workers introduce and follow up on the use of the EVO+ Colombia app, a digital program that supports people in building healthier habits related to eating and physical activity. By understanding what makes it easier or harder for health workers to recommend and […]

Language is one of the most fundamental cognitive processes, yet we know relatively little about how bilinguals learn, understand, and use language. This is a critical knowledge gap, as around 20% of Canadians grow up in bilingual homes. Furthermore, what we do know about bilingual language acquisition has focused on fluent language. Speech disfluencies (e.g., […]

The co-relation between key principles of co-op housing and the components of ageing in place may signify co-op housing as an optimal housing model to facilitate ageing in place. However, there is currently a gap in knowledge, with little literature on whether co-op housing has what is optimally required for older adults to age in […]
