The proposed collaboration project between the Richeson and Journaux groups has a primary purpose of identifying new magnetic phenomena derived from common, inexpensive transition metals. The focus is on compounds containing cobalt and iron metal centers since these metals have larger than usual magnetic anisotropies. In order to design these compounds, specific chemical groups will […]

Les catégories strictes sont utilisées pour étudier des propriétés géométriques et calculatoires en algèbre, tandis que les catégories faibles sont importantes pour formaliser les mathématiques sur ordinateur. Si les premières sont bien comprises aujourd’hui, possédant des méthodes de calcul efficaces, la théorie mathématique des secondes est encore peu développée car elles sont bien plus complexes. […]

The relationship between the structure of rocks near the Earth’s surface and their geophysical properties is little understood. Rock samples from a large, exposed fault will be collected from Serifos, Greece, a region strongly affected by earthquakes and recent tectonism. These samples preserve varying degrees of deformation and structural complexity. The amountof deformation affects the […]

This project will be conducted by Myriam Lapierre (University of Ottawa), and will be supervised by Professor Andrés Salanova (University of Ottawa) and Professor Luciana Storto (Universidade de São Paulo). The aim of the project is to provide a thorough phonetic analysis of the vowels of Mebengokre, a Jê language spoken in the Brazilian Amazon. […]

OrbitHub is a web/mobile platform that helps its clients coordinate activities more efficiently and maximize the utilization of their resources and time. In addition to being a global social network, OrbitHub also offers tournament, league and ladder management functionality, as well as registrations, payments, rankings, court booking and more. This project aims to focus on […]

This research project investigates the experiences of women accessing abortions in Istanbul, Turkey. I will conduct interviews with approximately 40 women about their abortion experiences and their experiences with family planning and other reproductive services. I will also interview relevant figures in Istanbul who can speak about the quality of reproductive healthcare in Istanbul, including […]

The proposed research will develop a virtualized cloud-based multi-tenant environment tor testing and developing software defined networking products on a national scale. Similar centers are being built in other jurisdictions (Japan, Europe) but this is the first such initiative in Canada. We are partnering with CENGN, which is a consortium of industry partners who wish […]

The research involved in this internship focuses on the performance and integrity of HTML5. In terms of performance, the intern will design and implement a set of tests that will be used to analyze the performance of HTML5 applications. These tests will focus on measuring the computational performance, network performance, as well as rendering performance […]

Orthoses are planar insoles for countering the constant and permanent deformations caused by muscular or nerve weaknesses. The orthosis fabrication process at VRAM currently involves five labor-intensive stages: the assessment of the gait, the determination of the corrective measures, the evaluation of the orthosis dimensions, the creation of hand-carved molds for forming the orthosis, and […]

This project will focus on developing a scoring system to help organizations understand which of their software and technology systems are most at risk from advances in quantum computing. Many of today’s encryption methods, which protect sensitive data and communications, will become vulnerable once quantum computers are powerful enough. The intern will work with the […]

This project aims to make it easier for people to access valuable information stored in complex company databases—without needing to know technical coding languages like SQL. Today, many employees and customers can’t easily search these databases because doing so requires specialized skills, which creates delays and extra training costs. Our research will explore ways to […]

Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) is a national charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people facing cancer. We do this by educating and empowering individuals to manage the appearance-related and psychosocial impacts of cancer and its treatment. Our workshops and resources are designed to help people feel more like themselves again […]
