Mental disorders make up 25.3% and 33.5% of all years lived with a disability in low-and middle-income countries, respectively (WHO). Mental illness and mental health problems cost the Canadian economy $51 billion annually in healthcare costs, lost productivity, and reduced quality of life (Canadian Mental Health Association). This socioeconomic burden is partly due to the […]

The electronic structure problem is the key for material and drug designs. Solving it accurately using quantum mechanical methods on regular classical computers leads to algorithms whose execution time grows exponentially with the system size (e.g., number of electrons and nuclei in molecules). Emerging technology of quantum computing recently provided a new hope to solve […]

This research project centers on developing the Functional Impairment Rating Scale (FIRS), a new tool to better assess how people with neurological and mental health disorders can complete everyday tasks. Traditional assessment methods often rely on patients’ descriptions of their abilities or clinicians observations, which can miss important details. The FIRS aims to address this […]

My doctoral research aims to understand the emerging contentions on common good and citizenship in Turkey as an implication of Turkey’s adoption of free market mechanisms in energy production. In my research, I analyze the different legal (courts), material (public participation meetings) and conceptual (posing livelihoods as an alternative to private property) sites these contentions […]

Cyber-physical systems (e.g., planes, cars, medical devices) are systems where the software extensively interact with their working environment. The software of these systems is typically made by multiple software components. Effectively managing these software components is challenging since software failures can lead to catastrophic consequences. To ensure safety, engineers need to ensure that hazards are […]

The rural poor of Northeast Brazil do not have time to waste; their entire livelihood is dependent on using their time wisely. The objective of the proposed project is to better understand not only how access to clean water impacts the time-use decisions of the rural poor in Brazil, but why these patterns exist. A […]

Access to Success is a Toronto-based not-for-profit organization that supports people with disabilities with a mission to Enable Everyone. It runs ATS Labs, Canada’s only accelerator for accessibility startups, which provides unique programming, services, and resources tailor-made to help scale startups serving people with disabilities. We believe that by accelerating innovation in accessibility, we can […]

Although archives are an important historical resource, they are especially meaningful and impactful if they are mobilized to educate and inspire researchers, community members, and the general public. This project addresses this challenge by activating the digital archives of Midaynta Community Services through the engagement of one intern who will research and prepare an online […]

The Canadian-Chilean Array for Radio Transient Studies (CHARTS) project is a collaborative effort between the University of Toronto in Canada and the Universidad de Chile in Chile. CHARTS is dedicated to detecting and analyzing powerful extragalactic signals known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The primary goal of the Globalink research project is to develop and […]
