The overall objective of the Mitacs Globalink Project is to develop and assess the validity of models of exposure to air pollutants and temperature variability, using data extracted from a variety of available sources in South Africa and Canada. This objective will be achieved through a series of specific aims. The first of these aims […]

The research project aims to investigate how racialized communities relationship with public space can be improved with community-engaged architecture. The intern will use a post-occupancy evaluation to understand the impacts of the community-engaged designed public space, 1700SPOT, for the residents of Russell Heights. Impact is evaluated with consideration to racial and gender equity.

This project aims to critically analyze the Erba Massacre case, in which an Italian couple, Rosa Bazzi and Olindo Romano, were convicted of murder but may have falsely confessed to the crime. Many experts believe their confessions were influenced by a combination of psychological factors and problematic police interviewing techniques. By examining case materials such […]

In (VR, we can’t see our bodies due to replacing the real world with a virtual one. This leads to disembodiment, which has been shown to impact performance. An avatar, a digital body, can create that embodiment. The proposed research aims to combine the topic of the intern’s master’s thesis, “Investigating Graphical Realism in Mixed […]

This project aims to enhance responsible AI in dynamic environments by leveraging data drift detection and model adaptation techniques. By collaborating with IFS Canada, this project seeks to synergize academic exploration with real-world application, creating a dynamic partnership that bridges the gap between theoretical advancements and practical solutions. This project, focused on developing reliable AI […]

Lightweight Composite Consoles for Aerospace Applications: Carbon fiber composites used in aerospace applications are subjected to harsh environments while in service. In particular, structural components are often exposed to oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids. Over time, these contaminants may affect the material properties of the composites and thus, the mechanical behavior of the components. This […]

The Parkdale Food Centre, a non-profit organization in Ottawa, provides social community programs and services that aim at inspiring and empowering individuals to address the root causes of food insecurity. Programs include a community kitchen, catchment-based grocery program, youth-run social enterprise and employment training program. The Centre seeks support in re-designing the existing Mino’Weesini Grocery […]

Fusarium avenaceum causes Fusarium Head Blight, a devastating disease affecting cereal crops, and in Root Rot in pulses; diseases that significantly impact Canadian and European farmers. Different strains of F. avenaceum can harbor strain-specific biosynthetic gene clusters that produce mycotoxins which give rise to particularly virulent strains. In this context, the intent of this Globalink […]

This research project focuses on developing an advanced light detection system for high-speed communication networks. The interns will integrate a specialized photodetector (PIN photodiode) and an amplifier (Transimpedance Amplifier or TIA), using cutting-edge (16nm FinFET) technology. The photodetector quickly detects light signals at visible frequency, while the amplifier boosts these signals with minimal added noise. […]

This research project focuses on understanding how moving between multiple countries impacts migrants’ sense of identity and overall well-being. By analyzing data collected with migrants in both Canada and Brazil, the study aims to uncover the psychological and emotional challenges they face during these transitions. The project will provide valuable insights into the complexities of […]

This project aims to create advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help scientists and doctors better understand and treat severe lung conditions, like acute lung injury (ALI). ALI is a serious condition that can lead to breathing problems and is often difficult to study because the current methods for analyzing lung tissue are time-consuming and […]

The proposed project aims to investigate the link between tRNA maturation and mitochondrial disease using yeast as a model system. Researchers from Carleton University in Canada will collaborate with experts from Comenius University in Slovakia to develop advanced gene-tagging techniques in yeast. This collaboration will allow for the creation of new reagents, tools, and technologies […]
