This project will study different residential building retrofit strategies commonly used in Ontario in terms of their environmental performance. In particular, it will try to understand the embodied and operation carbon emissions associated with those strategies. The aim of this project is to understand the effect of using different material and systems in retrofit projects. […]

In the context of a global increase in waste production and waning natural resources, this research intends to promote the shift to a circular economy in the Ontario construction industry. The work includes a literature review, an industry survey, structured interviews, and a period of testing assessment tool(s) with real projects for local use. The […]

This project aims at developing detailed 3D wind speed databases for the major Canadian Cities. The databases will be accessible online through an online user interface and will offer real time localized wind speeds and directions in the urban city canopy. Those wind speeds are invaluable to many applications including UAV (or drone) operation. For […]

This project will allow a start-up organization to brand itself as a leader within the marketplace of accounting professionals.

Healthcare professionals treating trauma patients can vicariously experience trauma from long term exposure to suffering, resulting in compassion fatigue. The impact of compassion fatigue on the psychological well-being of healthcare workers is detrimental, decreasing patient care and retention of healthcare providers. In an effort to reduce compassion fatigue, Mount Sinai Hospital has implemented a 4-hour […]

Arsenic (As) contamination in rice paddies is a fundamental problem that can reduce crop yield, affect human health, and compromise food security. Moreover, rice paddies emit 30% of the methane produced by the agricultural sector. Aerating water during the growing season can mitigate As toxicity and uptake by rice, and reduce methane emissions; however, current […]

A job as an animal care professional can be bittersweet – great levels of work satisfaction can also come with an increased likelihood of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion (“compassion fatigue”). This project aims to ‘take a picture’ of Toronto Zoo staff experiences with compassion fatigue and provide a deeper understanding of the impactful experiences […]

The proposed research will scale-up the current manufacturing methods to produce cost-effective substrates for application in Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. The substrates will be made using dendritic plasmonic materials on a large area substrate. The nanoscale material will provide high sensitivity as a SERS substrate for detection of specific chemicals. The developed SERS substrates during […]
