The objectives of this research project are to deepen understanding of the cognitive underpinnings of engagement in games, especially in the context of multiplayer games. The research will be leveraged by our organization in future research projects and commercial productions.

One promising approach for the advancement of both fuel cells and electrolyzers is the incorporation of anion exchange membranes. These would provide many potential benefits, such as a significantly decrease cost as they do not rely on expensive precious metal catalysts. However, anion exchange membranes still face multiple challenges, one of them being their chemical […]

Form Athletica Inc.’s augmented reality swim goggles (FORM goggles) are on the leading frontier of augmented reality sport technology. With their see-through display and ability to track and display numerous swimming performance metrics in real-time, swimmers have the opportunity to train in a smarter and more efficient way. Exploiting data from the FORM goggles will […]

This project will help to design and develop the user interface and an image picture archiving and communication system (PACS) for mobile teledermatology for use in an application of skin imaging. This will enable both patients and specialists to acquire, archive and manage dermatological images for further diagnosis, triage and follow-up purposes. The project goals […]

Brain wave technologies allow researchers and clinicians to monitor the brain at work. Our team has developed a new technology that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to provide an online record of different brain functions in a very short period of time. The brain waves recorded by this technology may change normally as time passes and previous […]

Radioactive medical isotopes lead-203 (203Pb) and lead-212 (212Pb), which are compatible with nuclear imaging and cancer therapy, respectively, have recently gained international academic and commercial attention due to successes in clinical trials. Through initial imaging with 203Pb-labeled drugs, physicians can determine if the patient will be suitable for treatment with the 212Pb-labeled counterpart, allowing for […]

In recent years, numerous jurisdictions in the USA and Canada have enacted bans on ‘conversion’ practices, i.e., organized attempts to suppress Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (2S/LGBTQ+), and other minoritized sexual and gender identities. In 2022, our team conducted the UnACoRN survey, a first-of-its-kind binational survey of 9,679 youth (15-29 years of age). Through […]

The “local turn” of migration policies has been more pronounced since the “refugee crisis” of 2015. Its accompanying camps, emergency shelters, and buildings occupation have put cities under the microscope, underlying the multiple interactions between homelessness and forced migration, including precarious housing and hidden forms of homelessness. Several types of networks are engaged in tackling […]

In an era where mass protests are happening with increasing frequency across the globe, there has been a growth in research interest on why people participate in social movements. However, consequences of social movements have received less attention (Louis, 2009). One especially understudied area is how attitudes towards language, a core aspect of group identity, […]

Hydrogels can hold many times their weight in water and consequentially find a diverse range of applications, ranging from biomedical applications to photonics and adhesion. However, their moisture content is not easily controlled; in wet environments, water easily enters the hydrogel, and in dry environments, water in the hydrogel quickly evaporates. This leads to swollen […]

The objective of this project is to better understand the impact prevalent mental health challenges have on cognition. For this pilot study, neurophysiological electroencephalography (EEG) will be investigated in three different mental health population groups: those suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Portable EEG will be used to assess […]

The aim of the internship is to develop strategies for commercialization of radical, generic technologies developed by Exro in the area of clean technology. They have developed and patented. a variable input electrical generator that could be very efficiently used in producing electricity for undetermined electricity generation levels from clean tech sources like wind turbine […]
