Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is a protein that is able to mediate the cross-linking of other proteins. The unregulated activity of TG2 is implicated in fibrosis, celiac disease as well as cancer cell survival. Blocking this activity has been shown to decrease tumour size and growth in mice. We have previously designed small molecules that are […]

In the last 30 years, the theory of optimal transportation has emerged as a fertile field of inquiry, and a diverse tool for exploring applications within and beyond mathematics, in such diverse fields as economics, meteorology, geometry and engineering. More recently, it has empowers today’s machine learning research and become one of the most emerging […]

Network intrusion detection systems play a crucial role in computer networks defense. However, most of the existing solutions do not take into account the time-evolving component of the attacks. Attackers are constantly changing the intrusion methods which becomes a serious threat and requires the development of adaptive methods that can cope with these modifications. Moreover, […]

In the last 30 years, the theory of optimal transportation (OT) has emerged as a fertile field of inquiry, and a diverse tool for exploring applications within and beyond mathematics, in such diverse fields as economics, meteorology, geometry, fluid mechanics and engineering. More recently, thanks to many applications in finance, economics, quantum chemistry, machine learning […]

This research project aims to study the factors which can influence engagement in physical activity in older adults and how it is linked to health. Using data from multiple countries and collected over periods of up to 12 years the research project will look at the influence of socioeconomic and environmental factors on this relationship. […]

Power is typically transmitted as electricity in copper wires. This works well in many cases, but there’s a major drawback: electromagnetic interference can disrupt the power supply, which is detrimental for sensitive electronic devices. Another approach is to transmit power as light, which is immune to this interference. A laser converts electricity to light, which […]

The project will develop a 6G silicon-based beamforming network incorporating optical technologies. Such a technology may increase the performance of the 6G wireless systems and to reduce the power consumption. The use of photonics to perform beamforming has a key advantage of wide instantaneous bandwidth with no beam squint problem. Since the signals are already […]

A ring resonator is a waveguide that circles around to make a closed usually circle-shaped loop. The electromagnetic wave may travel within this loop and instructively interfere with itself if the travel length is a multiplicative of the wavelength of the wave. In such a situation, energy builds up in the ring and very strong […]

As the population of older Canadians increases, so too does the number of persons living with dementia. Our research project aims to improve the health and wellbeing of Canadians by focusing on improving the dementia friendliness/inclusivity of our cities (where many older persons choose to live). Ten (10) persons living with dementia and their care […]

Older adults living with frailty recover less quickly following minor illnesses and are more likely to be hospitalized or die. Therefore, it is of importance to identify strategies to prevent or treat frailty. In Canada, there is currently no available multi-component interventions addressing frailty in long-term care settings. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of […]

Housing First (HF) is an approach that assists people with serious mental illness who are chronically homeless to become housed. Research has shown HF assists people in leaving homelessness and achieving stable housing. However, HF participants do not experience increased participation in the community or improved social networks. In response to these results, the present […]
