A lack of physical infrastructure and the corresponding fear of harm are a significant barrier to urban cycling, and an impediment to the expansion of Curbside Cycle’s target demographic. Using outreach and education through a collaborative process involving partners Curbside Cycle and Cycle Toronto we will empower local experts, enlist local businesses as powerful community […]

Flexpipe, the industrial sponsor, is recognized as a global leader in the production of fully organic reinforced thermoplastic pipelines (RTPs). Flexpipe is currently offering non-metallic, non-bonded spoolable fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite linepipes with a maximum service rating of up to 82 °C and up to 1500 psi, for high-temperature fluid transportation, CO2 injection and other corrosive, […]

Mental health professionals are evolving as they use a multitude of therapy modalities in every session. Already, therapists each have a different way of writing notes to each other, which becomes more complicated when applying a different set of modalities. This research will enable generating LLM case notes for therapists that are unique to their […]

The most employed treatment for decayed teeth is restoration with resin-based filling materials. Longevity of resin fillings is considered low, around 7-10 years. Replacement of resin fillings accounts for 75% of all procedures performed in general practice, of which 60% are due to failures at tooth-filling interface. This happens because during bonding procedure the tooth […]

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but traditional metal pipelines used to transport CO2 are prone to corrosion, especially in environments with impurities like H2S and SO?. This project aims to create advanced plastic-based pipeline systems that are more durable and cost-effective. We will develop multi-layered polymer designs combining […]

Airlines take the extra effort required to figure out what is the best route that their aircrafts should take so as to minimize additional costs from non-revenue flights or idle time. One way to di this is to first generate large numbers of feasible routes and then assign flights to a subset of them so […]

My research project into Mexican Avant-garde music for solo cello (written between 1962 and 2012) attempts to define and evaluate what Mexican Cello Solo Music is and how it has evolved over the years to the point of exerting a significant influence on the universal cello solo repertoire. (This discipline belongs to a category of […]

The proposed project aims to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to develop a predictive model that assists in predicting delinquency in financial contexts. By integrating AI and predictive modelling approaches, the project seeks to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and interpretability of delinquency predictions within the residential mortgages space. The focus […]

Tropical forests house an exceptionally high biological diversity and despite great interest in factors that might drive the formation of high species richness, little is understood about how this diversity arose. In the Neotropics, rivers appear to delimit the geographic ranges of closely related avian species, and are generally believed to have been important in […]

challenges such as long wait times and overcrowding. These delays impact patient health and strain healthcare resources. This project aims to address these challenges by enhancing SiMLQ, a cutting-edge software tool that uses data to simulate and optimize ED operations. Using real-world data from Erie Shores Healthcare Center as an example, the project will develop […]

Developmental language disorders (DLDs) are among the most common early-childhood disorders, affecting between 8-12% of children worldwide. If left untreated, DLD can lead to significant professional and interpersonal difficulties later in life. While speech therapy is highly effective, the barrier-to-access is high with regards to cost, availability of speech therapists, and the delay between detection […]

Climate change poses significant risks to global ecosystems, particularly forest ecosystems, which are crucial for carbon sequestration. In Canada, forests cover 38% of the land area, contributing 9% of global forest carbon sequestration. However, disturbances such as pest infestations and extreme weather events threaten their ability to sequester carbon. Current methods like flux towers and […]
