Over the last decade, there has been a growing literature on “brain plasticity” and the role of computer based games for brain health improvement. Most of the focus has been on healthy older adults. While there has been pharmacologic treatment available for dementia for decades, there is no accepted standard treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment […]

GestureLogic is building a product that optimizes athletic performance. The product is a wearable sensory network that monitors muscle activity. The goal of this research is to take this inherently complex muscle data that is acquired by the sensory network and translate it to useful biometrics for the consumer with the help of intelligent algorithms. […]

Over the past several years, serious concern has emerged in many Western nations over the future and sustainability of public policing. The situation in Canada is no different. Key stakeholders in the Canadian policing community have expressed serious concern about the sustainability of policing. A model of public policing has emerged in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan […]

Robotics will transform the construction industry in the next decade, yet Canada is lagging in producing the highly qualified professionals needed to support that transformation. With a high percentage of the construction workforce retiring in the next five years, Canada must find ways to integrate robotics into the processes of design and fabrication of our […]

The proposed project is about developing and implementing AI-powered hiring tools for a partner organization. These tools will help the organization streamline its recruitment process by automatically filtering resumes and identifying top candidates. This will save time and resources for the organization while ensuring that they hire the best candidates for the job. The expected […]

The small-scale food processing industry is underrepresented within scholarly and industry discourses, despite its vital role in local economies, food systems, supply chains, and Canadian food security. How can a financing model developed by the Small Scale Food Processors Association (SSFPA) best enable its members to continue to innovate, support local economies, and contribute to […]

Through a well-established partnership with Ottawa’s Children’s Coordinated Access and Referral to Services in Ottawa, this internship project will examine factors affecting school attendance problems of youth at risk of serious consequences (i.e., unsuccessful educational completion, behavioral problems, and unmet mental health needs, etc.), with the goal of better understanding the complexity of these factors […]

The industry partner1QBit has access to a processor that uses an adiabatic annealing technique to address a special class of optimization problems for initial application in finance. Optimization problems have a long and broad relevance to challenges faced in the financial sector. The prospect of quantum annealing as a way to innovate in solving finance […]

The project aims to evaluate microplastic removal technologies from wastewater effluent and surface water of the Rideau River in Ontario Canada. A specifically designed net with a novel mesh product that has been developed to capture microplastics will be deployed to a wastewater effluent stream to test removal capabilities. Furthermore, removing microplastics from surface water […]

Invasive species are one of the major threats to biodiversity in Canada and globally. It can be challenging to identify where and under which circumstances landscapes will be most susceptible versus resistant to invasive species, and not having this information can hamper conservation efforts. The objective of this Master’s project is to model and map […]

The primary goal for this project is to develop a user customized dashboard to help overcome business challenges and provide the opportunity to access new and different markets. Mortgage Brokers Ottawa can access new and different markets with more efficient assessment and considerations of the terms and risks of the mortgage, unique financial circumstances and […]

MAE Robotics Inc. is working on a unique robot system called Captive Trajectory System (CTS) for supersonic wind tunnels. The robot will move aerodynamic models and prototypes inside the tunnel to measure and simulate their motion trajectories. This research project will focus on developing and implementing the appropriate robot control architecture, various redundancy resolution schemes, […]
