In the Arctic, climate change is leading to declines in seasonal sea-ice cover. Polar bears are increasingly at-risk from sea-ice loss because they use the ice as a platform to hunt seals, their preferred food source. When the ice retreats seasonally, bears rely on their stored energy reserves as fuel, but climate-driven changes in sea-ice […]

Canada has been glaciated many times in the last 2.5 million years and large ice sheets many kilometres thick have profoundly affected Canadian landscapes by eroding rocks and moving sediment. Using data from modern ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, glacial geologists have very recently recognized the imprint of fast flowing corridors of ice with […]

Social reproductive suppression is when the reproduction of healthy, adult animals in a population is inhibited by the presence of a socially dominant individual. This is known to happen some group-living species, where only the dominant pair will reproduce, and the other group members will assist in raising their young. There is evidence that social […]

Persons with disabilities encounter many barriers to workplace inclusion. Prior research on strategies to mitigate such barriers has primarily been focused on recruitment and access to entry-level positions, with limited consideration given to career success. However, mentorship has been identified as an important element of career success for persons with disabilities—even though we know little […]

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease that affects many parts of patients’ lives, such as the abilities to think, move, and speak. Speech problems in ALS can have a substantial effect on patients’ quality of life. They are also related to faster disease progression and shorter survival time. It may be possible to […]

Deep learning is nowadays one of the most popular areas in computer science which has shown extraordinary performance and enjoyed wide use in a variety of fields. This research project is aiming at exploring the application of deep learning algorithms in two fields: autonomous driving with 5G networks, and facility maintenance with CT scanning. In […]

pre-agreed price. The problem of what an option is worth is usually solved using costly numerical simulation methods. We will apply Deep Learning methods to solve the Option Pricing Problem. This cutting edge technique has the advantage that, once trained, the model can simulate many scenarios at a low computational cost. Unfortunately, training is costly […]

Polytellurophenes are an emerging class of semiconducting polymers showing promises in organic electronics. However, their commercial potentials are still held back by the synthetic scale. In this collaborative efforts with 1-materials, we aim to develop a synthetic strategy to produce polytellurophenes from a laboratory scale to a pilot scale to meet the increasing market demands. […]
