Everyday millions of customers move through the sales cycles of companies, generating numerous data for potential use. The main objective of the research project is to advance the current state of the art techniques inside the company, with respect to the application of new algorithms on customer behavior data. From a research perspective, access to […]

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are receiving significant attention in many communities, including academia, industry, and consumer electronics. SOTI is the world’s most trusted provider of mobile and IoT management solutions and its new aerospace division, SOTI Aerospace is focusing on hardware and software systems to support self-navigating situationally aware aerial drones. This project belongs […]

Machine learning has great potential in detecting cognitive, mental and functional health disorders from speech, as acoustic properties of speech and corresponding patterns in language are modified by a variety of health-related effects. Specifically, neural language models, have recently demonstrated impressive abilities in tasks involving linguistic knowledge. Their success in language understanding and classification tasks […]

Due to urbanization in the GTA, many green areas are replaced by impervious infrastructure, preventing runoff infiltration and increasing flood risks. The Meadoway project proposed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) aims to restore meadow habitats with native plants along a hydro-corridor over 16 km across Scarborough, which can potentially improve the runoff […]

The global burden of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing as it has become the second leading cause of cancer-relateddeaths and the fifth most common cancer worldwide. HCC is heterogenous, arising in the setting of various chronic liver diseasessuch as hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. Patients with cirrhosis who develop cancer cannot tolerate […]

Ribosome biosynthesis is one of the most multifaceted and energy-demanding processes in biology. It involves over 250 factors that transiently associate with the nascent pre-ribosome in a well-orchestrated manner. Importantly, increased ribosome biogenesis has a critical role in cancer initiation and progression. Owing to the advances in cryo-electron microscopy, this pathway’s detailed mechanism started to […]

The proposed research seeks to learn more about the ways Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs), collaborate with Constituent Groups (CGs) and Co-sponsors to sponsor refugees to resettle in Canada. For this project, the Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC), will be used as a case study. Given the limited capacity and resources that SAHs have available to them […]

The project aims to study the use of advanced machine learning algorithms to enhance the ability of TRCA to detect shoreline erosion. Accurate detection of shoreline erosion will have significant contribution to optimizing TRCA asset management plans. This will enable TRCA to work with local communities to reduce the impacts of climate change on shoreline […]

One of ten Canadians will experience trauma at least once in their lives and will develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many people cannot access PTSD care because of the high cost, long-waiting time, stigma and other barriers etc. Amygdala (deep brain) is important to traumatic emotions and memories. One way to access these memories is […]

The “Assessing forest harvesting impacts on furbearer habitat at the scale of Indigenous traplines – A case study in Indigenous consultation and forest conservation” project is planned to enhance the understanding of Indigenous rights holders concerning forest management activities that impact the distribution of forest types and ages upon which the forest dwelling wildlife that […]

A successful computer application can easily have millions of users, but handling the network traffic generated by millions of users is not easy. The server system has to be well designed in order to properly process large, concurrent, and distributed data streams without affecting user experience. In addition, users do not generate data constantly, they […]

The purpose of this project is to identify bees and evaluate plant-pollinator networks based on the biomonitoring surveys conducted at the Meadoway in 2020-2021 with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). The aim of these surveys is to develop a baseline understanding of bee diversity in The Meadoway and evaluate the effects of plant […]
