The Cansbridge Fellowship, a leading Canadian non-profit dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial leadership, seeks to modernize its operations and programs to better serve students and ensure long-term sustainability. This project will bring in specialized interns to tackle key challenges, including redesigning the business model for financial stability, optimizing programs to meet the evolving needs of students […]

As a follow-up to a prevalence study on maltreatment in sport among Canadian athletes (Willson et al., 2022), this project seeks to validate a maltreatment in sport survey. The intention is to partner with Sheffield Hallam University in the United Kingdom to conduct a similar study assessing rates of maltreatment rates in high-performance athletes training […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Large burn wounds are a leading cause of morbidity and a major burden on Canadian patients and the health care system. Burns can be clinically treated by transplanting donor mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that suppress inflammation and regenerate the recipient tissue. However, the stiff culture surfaces of bioreactors stress-activate MSCs during expansion into scar-promoting ‘myofibroblasts’ […]

Gravitational lensing occurs when a massive object, such as a galaxy cluster, bends the fabric of spacetime, turning it into a magnifying glass that focuses the light from a distant object behind it. This phenomenon allows astronomers to observe faint astronomical objects and some of the earliest faraway galaxies or black holes that would otherwise […]

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 […]
