The electrical activity of muscles can be recorded from the skin and used to control external devices. Advances in this technology have the potential to allow a broad range of users with disabilities to control assistive technologies. This project will develop a system that uses sensors embedded in garments to measure muscle signals, and artificial […]

The project is intended to support and enhance the learnings provided by Stem Minds – a Toronto based start-up that provides digital learning focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), through the approach of gamification. The project will focus on the factors that motivate students to learn STEM subjects through gamification to deepen their […]

Vibration of aircraft engine is the major contribution to the structure vibration in an aircraft. To reduce the cabin noise and improve the comfortability for air passenger, research design and analysis are desired in the engine technology. A critical component in eliminating the vibration in an aero engine is the squeeze film damper (SFD). Current […]

This research project will examine fruit tree health in the City of Toronto. This will be done by conducting a health assessment of Not Far From The Tree’s fruit trees and will examine if there is any variance between species or neighbourhoods. Additionally, since NFFTT’s trees are located on privately-owned land, this project will examine […]

This project will support Not Far From The Tree, a nonprofit organization which coordinates volunteer picks of fruit trees on private property in Toronto’s downtown core. The intern will work on database management and spatial visualization of tree health, type, age, and other details across Not Far From The Tree’s working area. The intern will […]

The overall purpose of this research is to measure the effect of lower extremity muscular fatigue and bracing on the hip, knee, and ankle joint biomechanics in two different populations; i) those at risk of ACL injury and ii) those with early onset osteoarthritis. This topic is significant because muscle fatigue is often considered as […]

Sound Antidote is developing medical drones with the help of systems engineering, business and research advisors. These systems require long-haul flight times, which will be the case for some of the expected drone flights. The project opportunity provided is intended to develop batteries that are reliable and provided high energy density for long-flight times without […]

Tech companies generate Petabytes of log data per day, with 50% – 100% year-over-year growth. Conventional log analytics systems no longer scale to such large data sizes. In addition, managing such large data is extremely costly at every level, from storage cost, to network bandwidth, and to the cost of compute resources. This research proposes […]

Bioethanol is well-established as an alternative to petroleum-based fuels. A current roadblock in ethanol fermentation is end-product inhibition: where the increasing concentration of ethanol slows the growth of the yeast cells and their ability to ferment biomass. There is work being done to use existing separation technologies to remove ethanol throughout the reaction to avoid […]

Small Food Enterprise Outreach (SFEO) Project: economic resiliency, ethnocultural food enterprise and urban sustainability collaboration (Phase 1). The Culinaria Research Centre of the University of Toronto Scarborough is collaborating with the Economic Development & Culture Division of the City of Toronto under the direction of the Centre’s Associate Professor Jayeeta (Jo) Sharma, on a Small […]

Wildlife Preservation Canada’s (WPC’s) Bumble Bee Recovery Program is mainly focused on the recovery of the Special Concern (may become threatened or endangered) yellow-banded bumble bee (Bombus terricola). The intern will be taking on a project that will help WPC assess the health of bumble bee queens in the wild and queens that are being […]
