Given advancements in medical and surgical technology, the number of children with medical complexity (CMC) is rising. These children, who experience multiple chronic medical conditions and require ongoing specialized therapies, are at higher risk of adverse outcomes from respiratory infections. However, most research on respiratory infections among CMC has been limited by small sample sizes. […]

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are responsible for detection and review of malicious interactions. The SOC issues tickets for interactions that are considered suspicious or threatening. These tickets are then inspected by analysts for approval. For sake of safety, this ticketing system often issues too many “false positives”, i.e., it alerts for interactions that are not […]

Recent studies in quantum computing have demonstrated that the localized unitary Jastrow (LUCJ) ansatz, a promising electronic structure method capable of running on near-term quantum hardware, can surpass exact solutions on classical hardware by using quantum-centric supercomputing. However, scalable and efficient methods for initializing the LUCJ ansatz remain underexplored in current research. We propose a […]

The Radiation Medicine Program at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre treats cancer patients with Radiation Therapy (RT). RT relies on the principle that the cancer can be killed by delivering a high radiation dose to the tumor while sparing healthy tissues. Deformable image registration (DIR) is a cornerstone of modern RT, enabling the alignment of […]

The Radiation Medicine Program at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre delivers curative radiation therapy (RT) to cancer patients, including those with gynecological cancers, using a combination of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT). A key clinical challenge is the accurate accumulation of radiation dose delivered across these modalities. Current methods rely on deformable […]
