The larger study project aims to assess and enhance the impact of virtual health interventions on older adults with IDD, their family caregivers, and service providers. The first phase of the research project will explore and investigate current challenges older adults with IDD experience within academic and grey literature, and data collected from previous virtual […]

AltaML is an innovative company capitalizing on a major technological trend: artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, enabled by big data, are driving a fourth industrial revolution. AI will transform all industries, but traditional industries face challenges in implementing AI. AltaML has a unique business model to overcome barriers to adoption of AI solutions by industry, which […]

Happipad is a not-for-profit Canadian corporation which leverages technology to facilitate the matchmaking and support of home-sharing between refugees and hosts in Canada. Launching its pilot projects in Metro Vancouver and Toronto, Happipad wants to assess its effectiveness and benefits for refugees and minimize its potential barriers to make it a replicable framework for implementation […]

While many Canadian planning practitioners are familiar with the harmful legacies of transportation infrastructure development in the United States, particularly as it relates to the displacement and forced removal of racialized and low-income communities, there is comparatively little documentation or awareness of this history in Canada. This research project will contribute to filling this knowledge […]

Recent experimental advances have enabled the creation of setups where matter and quantized electromagnetic fields (photons) interact more strongly than the typical energy scale of the matter. Specifically, these strongly coupled light-matter systems have been achieved within the realm of cavity quantum electrodynamic (QED) materials, placing a material of interest inside a cavity of photon […]

This project will focus on reinforcing biocomposite materials with a superhydrophobic plating to help improve the mechanical properties and industrial feasibility. Biocomposites are currently being widely researched because of their numerous advantages over materials traditionally used in manufacturing such as being easily recyclable, being made from materials which are found abundantly in nature, and having […]

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) agreements are part of a recent policy by the Canadian government. The goals of CWELCC are to increase spending on and access to early childhood education and care (ECEC) across the country. Children from low-income families receive the most benefits from access to high quality ECEC, past […]

Since 1991 SMART Technologies has infused classrooms around the world with powerful interactive technologies, principally the “SMART Board” which sets a standard for interactive whiteboards. The SMART Board has been featured in many innovative designs for learning and instruction – some coming from academic research, and many from classroom teachers as they integrate touch boards […]

There are increasing calls to build green spaces (UGS) that provide ecosystems to city residents. For example, one approach is to transform degraded UGS beneath hydrocorridors into restored meadows (e.g., The Meadoway in Toronto, Canada). This ecosystem is meant to act as a place for recreation and habitats to support wildlife. To maintain this desired […]

The overarching goal of the Globalink research project is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the 1991 Soviet coup attempt by delving into the motivations, strategic decisions, and enduring implications of this pivotal event. The central research question guiding this endeavor will have answers to such questions: What were the underlying motivations and strategic decisions […]

Promoting healthy living and reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases are public health priorities in Canada and the United States. In recent years, the importance of measuring neighborhood contexts to address inequities in cardiovascular health has been highlighted. Many neighborhood indices have been utilized by academic researchers to explore the complex relationship between neighborhood and […]

This research will study an efficient method for extracting germanium from waste fiber optics cables. Germanium is widely used in optical fibers, infrared optics, and solar energy industry. Optical fiber is the major application of germanium. Germanium possesses various properties that can make positive impact on these fields. The demand for germanium will increase with […]
