Tinnitus is when an auditory percept is experienced in the absence of any external corresponding auditory stimuli (Hullfish et al., 2019). This study will look at the use of a sound-based passive treatment to reducing stress and annoyance caused by tinnitus, to ultimately contribute to an increase in the quality-of-life and reduction in the accompanying […]

Residency is a rigorous and highly demanding part of medical education during which time there are multiple demands on trainee’s time and often as a result high rates of isolation and burnout. This is especially prevalent during the final examination year of training. Several factors have been identified by students to be protective and supportive […]

Building design is complex and challenging and the unique nature of each project limits the ability to automate design tasks. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is commonly to manage building design and collaboration between teams and there is a plug-in (“Dynamo”) that supports task automation. The partner organization has developed several ad-hoc BIM automation scripts, but […]

The female body goes through various hormonal changes at each phase of the menstrual cycle every month. These hormonal changes result in detectable biophysical changes, such as skin temperature variations. Moreover, the chances of pregnancy are noticeably higher during the ovulation phase which is a 4-5 days window. Our product, will have sensors inside it […]

This two-year storytelling and research project explores the potential of storytelling and arts-based approaches to build understanding about transnational trajectories of forced migration and re-settlement in Ontario, Canada, especially as related to experiences of refugee women from Syria and Afghanistan, and women displaced from Ukrainian since the war started in 2022. The knowledge created through […]

Sai is a startup that aims to help artists and arts organizations manage their finances more effectively. They noticed that many artists struggle with financial literacy due to the lack of financial education in their artistic backgrounds, and the pandemic has exacerbated this issue. To address these challenges, Sai is developing an integrated educational program […]

The abradable rub strip (ARS) material’s main function is to minimize the clearance between blade tips and the fan case, thereby increasing the overall engine efficiency. Under tensile and compressive loading, the abradable material behaves different, and has a significant post-failure compaction under compressive loading. Therefore, its characterization is complex and requires a wide range […]

Advanced aerial drones have extensive applications in industry, e.g., water resources management, warehouse operations, search & rescue, and geographic mapping. Current drone body frames mainly use low-temperature polymers with limited thermal and structural performance. In this project, high-temperature high-performance polymers and continuous carbon fiber composites will be used for 3D printing drone body frames. It […]

A key requirement for returning to societal and economic normality is the evaluation and surveillanceof SARS-CoV-2 infection and immunity. The proposed technologies described herein, enable a safe and effectivediagnostic test that can quickly provide an easily interpreted result for SARS-CoV-2 immunity, all without complicated equipment, expensive reagents, or high-level biosafety containment facilities. Such a system […]

The Access Anthology Project is a collaboration between two non-profit Artist Run Centres (ARCs) located in Toronto, ON, Tangled Art + Disability and Gallery TPW. Commissioned by Gallery TPW in 2022, the Access Anthology will document the access practices of Tangled Art + Disability through a collection of interviews, roundtables, and essays contributed by artists, […]

In partnership with the Rexdale Community Hub (RCH), this project involves undertaking a locally-informed feasibility study to assess the viability of a ‘Community Grocery Store’ model that provides affordable, accessible, culturally appropriate food in Rexdale (a Neighbourhood Improvement Area in Toronto). The intern will help train community-members to co-create and implement focus groups and interviews […]

The goal of this research is to facilitate utilization of solar energy in Caribbean islands. Currently, the Caribbean islands mainly depend on the scarce oil-based energy resources. This research will assess and define cost effective suitable solar-PV technology with storage and associated energy management and control system for utilization of the solar energy resources available […]
