In 2014, the dams of Treaty #3 territory were overwhelmed by major continuous snowmelt and rain, causing mass flooding throughout the Rainy-Lake of the Woods watershed. To mitigate the damage that would be dealt to the Indigenous communities of the watershed by such events in the future, we will use remote sensing technologies and GIS […]

This research project will be used to help mining operations and other industrial proponents where applicable, ensure the integrity of their tailings ponds, reduce the risk to human life/health, and meet government regulations by reducing cost and logistic barriers to conducting tailings volume surveys. The goal is to verify that an autonomous vehicle can conduct […]

Imaging of cerebral perfusion (the delivery of blood to a capillary bed in the brain tissue) is significant for diagnosing a variety of diseases. There are multiple challenges associated with perfusion imaging which significantly limits the quality of cerebral perfusion images. I am planning to develop a novel approach of cerebral perfusion magnetic resonance imaging […]

The project work falls in the field of production of Biosuccinic acid which considered as a important intermediate chemical from woody biomass(lignocellulosic biomass). Conventionally,Succinic acid is made from nonrenewable sources i.e.crude oil. Dr.Rakshit’s lab already patented a process of biosuccinic acid from woody biomass at lab scale. The ultimate objective of this project is to […]

This project aims to challenge unjust systems and policies and support Indigenous people in their efforts to establish their food systems and adapt to the new CV-19 world. It will explore ways to address long-term pandemic-related food security challenges led by Indigenous organizations. The intern will gather information from experiences and existing research across Indigenous […]

We are witnessing an explosion in the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms with significant impacts on the world’s economic and social activities. The backbone of a machine learning algorithm is a deep neural network which is composed of hundreds to thousands of neurons. To make the neural networks (NNs) functional, they need to be […]

Food systems organizations work brings together planners, community organizers, public health professionals, food producers, distributors and other food champions to transform food systems through direct action in communities, and collective action across organizations and regions. Many regions across Ontario have identified a fundamental challenge: moving from collaboration to action within their region. This includes the […]

Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) is becoming a leading approach to improving patient and health system outcomes around the world. This research is to develop a new problem oriented record for the VBHC where it can analyze the Patient Progression which is the hospitalized patient journey through the required care events, actions and processes to achieve a […]

Workplace discrimination is common for Indigenous people (1,2). Unacceptable behaviours may take place at work, such as threats, intimidation, or violence (2). The workplace is a location where behaviour labeled as ‘bullying’ occurs (1,3). When examining Indigenous workers, the impacts of behaviour defined as bullying (and the mere act of defining the behaviour as bullying […]

AETS is part of a national wide agreement with the Indigenous Skills Employment and Training (ISET) Program Terms and Conditions, AETS aims to create jobs and lead a skilled Indigenous team by providing skills training, providing employment programs and cooperate with partnerships. The academic supervisor and intern from Lakehead University will provide AETS with professional […]

Covid-19 has impeded many brick-and-mortar businesses, especially the SMEs in Northwest Ontario. The challenging environment calls for change in the business practice to respond to the impact and rejuvenate businesses. Going online is one of the possible solutions supported by technology and market readiness for those businesses. Digital Main Street (DMS), a program and service […]
