With climate change driving more severe and unpredictable weather, countries around the world are facing higher probability of extreme weather events, particularly in the form of flooding, storm surges, and hurricanes. The overall objective of this research is to explore how Canada, a (low-probability of risk country) and Japan (a high-probability of risk country) compare […]

The near-infrared imaging is a technique widely used in many medical applications, such as tissue imaging and non-invasive imaging of lymphatic systems. The market was estimated to be USD 950 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.1% to 2028. The conventional near-infrared system commonly employed is […]

To address the urgent problem of climate change, it is important to look for alternatives to fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, are attractive but are often criticized for being intermittent: the energy produced varies with time of day or season of the year. There is a mismatch between the […]

Nucleic acid-based therapies such as DNA and siRNA has equipped us with the freedom to customize in our battle against specific cancers and other diseases. Especially the non-viral approach to deliver the therapeutic nucleic acids in a clinical setting provides a safer alternative to the viral gene therapy systems. However, to achieve a clinically relevant […]

The project is focused on designing and developing a novel point of care analytical device using functional magnetic microparticles that can quantitatively determine the concentration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody and SARS-CoV-2 viruses in human saliva and serum. This approach will allow mass testing in the general population to assess past or current infection. Furthermore, it can […]

The intern will work on a project to develop a coalition of cross-sector community leaders in a mental health-care setting. The project will contribute to new solutions to community challenges in Canada surrounding the pharmacological treatment of alcohol use disorder. The intern will train in research skills, interdisciplinary teamwork, and community-based research methodologies. The intern […]

The overall goal of the project is to contribute to the advancement of safe and sustainable environmental remediation through increasing knowledge of catabolic processes occurring during bioremediation and how engineered amendments may enhance these processes. To achieve the overall goal, research activities will investigate catabolic processes involved in the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon- (PHC) and […]

The widespread availability of broadband internet has transformed Canadian life. However, the increasing volume of data traffic strains the “last mile” access networks that deliver broadband internet to individual premises. The cable industry has responded with updates to the dominant standard for cable modems (CMs) and cable modem termination systems (CMTSs), known as DOCSIS. The […]
