Traditional approaches to healthcare in Canada are being transformed by new care models that address key challenges including a shifting tax base, changing consumer expectations, and the disruptive impacts of new technologies. These new care models offer an opportunity to rethink how health care services are designed and delivered. Our partners in the proposed research […]

As the need for pandemic preparedness, assessing cross-infection risks based on the given indoor environmental conditions is crucial for preventing the spread of group infections. The objective of this research project is to analyze cross-infection risks with various types of mechanical ventilation systems in uncertain environments, such as locations and distances of the infector and […]

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

In this project, the candidate will gather new & utilize existing data in conjunction with machine learning algorithms to optimize various aspects of how one (or more) social games operates. Experiments will be proposed and run in order to gather operational data. This data will be used in conjunction with existing player & game data […]

MyHealthNB is a province-wide personal health records (PHR) application that provides all New Brunswick citizens digital access to their health information, including lab results, immunization records, medication lists, and imaging reports. Although MyHealthNB was developed with aim of empowering New Brunswickers to be more actively involved in their health and healthcare, the solution has yet […]

In our proposed project, we aim to predict the behavior of large structures like buildings and bridges and key devices upon the large structures in response to natural hazard such as earthquakes. By combining cutting-edge deep learning techniques with the multi-fidelity concept, we’re developing a deep learning model that can predict the response time histories […]

Despite significant therapeutic advances, the management of type 1 diabetes remains a major challenge, with current modalities unable to achieve, in every patient, optimal blood glucose control, while minimizing complications. Precision Medicine steers away from this ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Precision Medicine aims to understand each child’s health by integrating all the information they share about themselves, […]

This project aims to benefit society by improving accessibility for viewers who may not be able to receive sound information well from the media content, including DHH viewers. To develop and research for the project, it is necessary to reflect an in-depth and multi-faceted case analysis on the topic of improving sound accessibility. To fulfil […]

This project aims to explore the mechanical behaviors of ferroelectric polymers, focusing on P(VDF-TrFE), through atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. By investigating the frictional properties of P(VDF-TrFE) and similar materials using AFM-based methods such as transverse shear microscopy (TSM) and friction force microscopy (FFM), the project seeks to uncover the relationship between electrical polarization and […]

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and developing of specific techniques (16S pyrotag pipeline) for microbial communities profiling and metabolic reconstruction. The work benefits to industry […]

The intern will lead the development of three research briefs based on findings from the 2023 Kindergarten Parent Survey, a unique research instrument designed by a collaborative of Halton researchers. The survey provides a snapshot of the wellbeing of Halton kindergarten preschool children and their families on multiple domains, including healthy development, physical activity, nutrition, […]

The clinical translation of innovative oncology treatments can be boosted by the establishment of alternative in vivo models based on the chick chorioallantoic membrane. In this project, a biomodel based on commercial cancer cell lines, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, will be established and characterized by standard biological assays. The biomodels will be employed for the […]
