Anode and solid electrolyte interface engineering

In our project, we plan to improve the interfacial properties between metallic Li anodes and garnet-based Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZ) electrolyte. The approach is to use coating techniques such as chemical and physical vapor deposition (CVD/PVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD) to deposit a thin protection layer on a dense LLZ separator which is co-sintered with a […]

Generating novel crystal polymorphs of therapeutic compounds with uniform size distribution for improved solubility, hygroscopicity and manufacturability

Two pharmaceutical products for the treatment of neurological diseases developed by Neuractas Therapeutics require fine tuning to enhance their solubility, bioavailability and stability towards relative humidity. Extensive experimental research will be carried out to improve the polymorphic distribution of the products by high through-put crystallization to improve the solubility of one of the products. In […]

Certified Defense Framework against Patch Attacks on Images

Adversarial perturbation of all the image pixels is computationally intensive and may not be realized in practice. In contrast, an adversarial patch attack where an adversary can choose to perturb a specific subset of pixels in an image, is more practical in fooling a trained image classifier or hiding a person from an object-detection model. […]

Advanced thermal simulation for mold and die

With newer manufacturing technologies, the need to find the optimum cooling or heating patterns in molds is more important than ever before. The industry has not taken full advantage of solutions available to them in building new and improved manufacturing processes. This project aims to develop, validate and optimize the computer simulation results for cooling […]

COVID-19 and resiliency: How Registered Practical Nurses working in long-term care adapt in times of personal, professional, and institutional crisis

Working in partnership, interdisciplinary professionals and the Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) Association of Ontario (WeRPN) aim to understand what contributes to and detracts from personal, professional and institutional resiliency for RPNs during COVID-19. This is a rare opportunity to learn from front-line workers directly during historical social periods, such as COVID-19, and even less often […]
