Two Hat Security is a company that develops next generation moderation tools for social networking apps. Since visual content (e.g. images, videos) is one of the most important types of data shared by social networking apps, an important problem for the company is to identify images/videos that are offensive or inappropriate. For example, certain images/videos […]

Fibroproliferative disorders are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A large group of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) can cause progressive scarring of lung tissues, affecting the ability to breathe. Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is one of the major forms of ILD and is characterized by a progressive decline in lung function. Although the […]

High-end chemical products, such as specialty polymers and pharmaceuticals, are important to provide a high quality of life. The effectiveness of these products is dependent on intensive development and consistent production. The focus of this project is developing new technology to improve both development and production of these products. To address product development issues, we […]

The objective of this proposed project is to develop a prototype numerical simulation software that can simulate the physical processes inside semiconductor lasers and exchange information with a simplified compact model. The combination of these two models can better balance the trade-off between accuracy and simulation performance. The resulting integration will be suitable for studying […]

The goal of the proposed project is to explore the concept of how a remote community can share renewable power without the connection to an existing power grid. The scope entails the analysis of the existing scenario of northern off-grid communities in Ontario and the designed system to help them share power. A proposed system […]

The project aims to develop a novel optical device for use in high-bandwidth data-communications. Such applications feed the insatiable desire for data transfer fuelled by the ever-expanding demand for social networking, video-over-internet and the emerging internet-of-things. The intern will gain invaluable industrial experience in a rapidly growing area, while the company will obtain an insight […]

The project’s main objective is a further reduction of dependence on fossil fuels in our everyday electric appliances. Fossil Fuels are used to generate electricity and they emit dangerous greenhouse gases to the environment which one of its consequences is the familiar global warming phenomena. By integrating a heat exchanger to the original solar PV […]

Customized image sensors will be designed by EnviroSen specifically for advanced microscopes used in biomedical imaging. The goal is to develop image sensors with improved efficiency, image resolution and speed compared to existing technologies for novel microscopes for fluorescence lifetime imaging. The McMaster Biophotonics group has recently developed a novel microscope that is capable of […]

This four months internship project is to help Bristol Machine to flexible redesign a mechanical linked bucket for hard rock mining application with less time, money, failure, resource, materials cost and increase product quality, flexibility, productivity, and performance for various worldwide customers’ needs in mining industry. The proposed method will be computer-aid design, engineering, FEA […]

This project undertakes the design and fabrication of a new headboard for mechanical tarp systems for flatbed trailers. At present, there are a number of problems including on-time supply of headboards, shipping, waste scrap, and health and safety of drivers. With this project a new design will be proposed and then fabricated using the computer […]

In recent years, improvements in technology provide the opportunity for investors to use computer algorithms to produce low-cost guidance on possible portfolio investment mixes and strategies. This project is directed at the research and development of one such “Robo- Advisor” algorithm based on forward-looking scenario optimization, in order to determine the efficacy of the strategy. […]

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common and serious intestinal disease among premature infants. It happens when tissue in the small or large intestine is injured or begins to die off. This causes the intestine to become inflamed or, in rare cases, develop perforation. It is associated with significant mortality and morbidity in preterm neonates. […]
