The intern will study technology tools that can streamline the partner company’s document preparation process.

Dementia affects our memory, thinking, emotions and ability to perform everyday tasks and the prevalence of dementia is increasing in the Ottawa region with over 24 000 living with dementia. Recently, the DSORC launched a new website called www.dementia613.ca – the region’s most trusted dementia-friendly resource directory. The site currently serves only between 4-5,000 of […]

A verifier-prover — where a “prover” suggests an answer to a question, which is then checked by a “verifier” — is a powerful analytical tool in computer science. As an example, understanding the number of transactions required to answer a computational question in a prover-verifier setting offers insights into the difficulty of that computational problem. […]

The project focuses on the characterization of the evolution with time of the properties of physiological signals recorded in different clinical settings, describing sepsis shock and other clinical complications that are common features in Intensive Care Units. Changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation will be studied through an array of […]

This project will apply business concepts, technique and theories to the real-world. It will support Pisces RPM with business development initiatives such as, proposal writing, project management support, and engaging with current and potential clients. Given that COVID-19 has disproportionately affected women in every workforce across every sector, it is more important than ever to […]

A Smart Farm is being setup at the Invest Ottawa AREA X.0 test facility premises with a financial contribution from the City of Ottawa.

FSO (Family Services Ottawa) is a not-for-profit social service agency whose mission is to assist individuals, to build on their strengths and to improve their mental health. FSO does so by providing counselling, education, and advocacy within a context of working to foster systemic change. Although their programs are increasingly monitored and evaluated at the […]

Large community hospitals and teaching hospitals in Ontario operate at congestion levels most of the time. This translates into long wait times for the patients, cancelled procedures, undue stress for the clinical staff, and inefficiency in hospital operations. In order to address the bottlenecks in patient flows, decisions are made by the clinical staff based […]

In the frame of this research project, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles will be synthesized that are able to convert low- to high-energy light in a process called upconversion. Given their outstanding optical properties, these upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising candidates for applications ranging from biomedicine to optoelectronics and the energy sector. We will combine UCNPs with monolayers […]

Global warming is one of the largest environmental issues these days and the increasing greenhouse gases(GHGs) emission such as CO2, CH4 and N2O is the leading reason for global warming. The main sources of CH4 emission are rice cultivating systems and cattle rearing, meanwhile, N2O mainly come from the application of fertilizers. Many factors in […]

The proposed research will consist of an evaluation of both the implementation and effectiveness of the YouIT program for youth and young adults with mental health and addiction problems. An implementation evaluation will be conducted to document whether the program has been implemented as intended (based on best practices) and how the program is actually […]

Performance management collects data to quantify and measure outcomes obtained by organizational processes in order to determine how well they achieve organizational goals. A significant challenge in implementing information systems support for process management of care processes is to understand the relationship between care processes and their performance measures. This research will develop an application […]
