The proposed project will help Avonhead Electric build a clearer and more organized way to grow its business in the EV charging market. Instead of relying mainly on manual outreach, personal relationships, and case-by-case decisions, the project will identify the best customer groups to target, find the most useful channel partners, create a more standard […]

HIV-1 persists in people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) because the virus can hide in long-lived immune cells, forming a latent reservoir. These hidden viruses can reactivate if treatment stops, making HIV difficult to cure. Efforts to reverse latency aim to “wake up” these silent viruses so the immune system or drugs can eliminate them, but […]

This project investigates the performance and scalability of two advanced hydrodynamic models TELEMAC-2D and HiPIMS through a comparative study of Lake Ontario’s shallow-water dynamics. The intern, Mehrdad Jafarzadeh Khoshroudi (Western University), will conduct high-resolution simulations under the joint supervision of Prof. M. Reza Najafi (Western) and Prof. Qiuhua Liang (Loughborough University, UK), a world expert […]

This project will examine whether personalized, AI-generated stories in the StoryMii app can help children who have both ADHD and reading difficulties learn new words, comprehend stories, and stay engaged with reading. Children with these challenges often have trouble sustaining attention and decoding letters, so generic texts often cannot keep them engaged long enough to […]

This project aims to help hospitals reduce the spread of airborne infections—such as influenza, COVID-19, and other respiratory illnesses—by improving how a new disinfecting light technology called far-UVC is deployed. Far-UVC light can safely kill viruses and bacteria in the air while people are present in the room, but hospitals currently have no reliable way […]

This project addresses a key innovation challenge: how to ensure equitable access to electoral information and foster meaningful participation, especially among underrepresented groups such as tenants, youth, seniors, newcomers, Indigenous individuals, and persons with disabilities. It builds on a Council commitment made in November 2024 to improve voter and candidate support through inclusive, accessible communication. […]

Contrary to popular belief, children under five aren’t naturally active all day. In fact, most don’t get enough movement to support healthy development, and this matters, because over two-thirds of their waking hours are spent in childcare. Yet, many early childhood educators (Educators) receive little to no training in how to promote physical activity through […]

Pathogenic alleles in human asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (NARS1) cause heterogeneous genetic disorders collectively known as NARS1 diseases. NARS1 disease is an early onset disease, and few children reach adulthood. No NARS1 specific therapies are available, and treatments remain supportive. The molecular and cellular consequences of most pathogenic NARS1 alleles remain unknown. We will investigate NARS1 mutations […]

This project aims to build a comprehensive Talent Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, a business intelligence tool designed for organizations to track and optimize talent progression through data-driven insights. The system will synthesize user profiles, market data, and engagement metrics from our AI coach, recruiter, and mentor agents to deliver actionable insights for career development […]

Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars have called for music educators to decolonize and Indigenize their work (e.g., Prest & Goble, 2018; Robinson, 2019, 2020; Young, 2023). This Business Strategy Internship aims to support the decolonization of vocal practices and promote the Indigenization of music education. It builds on PI Sirek’s prior SSHRC-funded research and longstanding collaborations […]

The BioWater development project will encompass the design, development, fabrication, and validation test of a real-time online pathogen detection analyzer prototype for wastewater. The current development of the prototype BioWater analyzer will focus on (but is not limited to) the detection of the Legionella pneumophila in wastewater from Ontario wastewater treatment facilities (OCWA). CEM Specialties […]

Traditionally, firms approach their innovation agenda focused on profits. Conventional innovation processes, such as stage-gate and design approaches, can create harm for the world by ignoring the wider ecological, social, and economic systems in which a firm is embedded. There is a better way. This project will develop an innovation tool that creates prosperity and […]
