The project (future monograph) will investigate representations of Kyiv in Ukrainian and Russian literatures and media of the past two decades in the broader context of the cultural history of the city and text of Kyiv in the modern epoch. I will examine how Ukrainian and Russian intellectuals, writers, and activists have conceptualized and claimed […]

As the SARS-CoV-2 virus mutates over time and variants emerge, it is crucial to stay ahead to keep the public safe. This research aims at capturing new variants that emerge and test them against the current therapies and vaccines in place as well as develop the next generation of vaccines and therapeutics to keep the […]

In 2007, ParticipACTION was relaunched in Canada with the goal of inspiring and supporting active living and sport participation for Canadians. The focus of ParticipACTION is on social marketing initiatives The objective of the proposed internship is to take advantage of data collected through internal evaluations commissioned by ParticipACTION of two national campaigns – Teen […]

This research project will seek to investigate the effect of Noa’s pro-resolution therapeutic drug compounds on keratinocyte and fibroblast cell migration as it relates to dermal wound closure. This project will investigate the impact of the therapeutic drugs on skin cell viability proliferation, and mobility using a multitude of different assays. In better understand how […]

The proposed project aims to commercialize our innovative real estate platform, MyHomie, by launching the V2.0 version to achieve product-market fit. Our larger goal is to develop an automated process that allows homebuyers and sellers to transact with just one click. We understand that this is an ambitious objective, but we believe that it is […]

Standard microprocessors are not getting faster anymore, however, consumer and industry demand for faster and lower-power computing is insatiable. The project aims to research and develop a novel computer-hardware platform to be used for accelerated low-power computing versus the use of microprocessors. The new hardware platform, called a coarse-grained reconfigurable array (CGRAs), can be configured […]

Triumvira, a Canadian-US post series A biotech company, is working on development of new targeted cancer therapies. Our core technology is focused on the genetic engineering of immune cells isolated from patients. This process then enables these engineered immune cells to recognise cancer cells that otherwise are invisible to the immune system. These therapies are […]

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 […]

This project investigates how metastatic lung cancer develops and evolves over time. DNA sequencing can be utilised to identify patterns in cancer genomes associated with specific sources of mutation (eg: UV rays, tobacco smoke, intrinsic cellular processes). Additionally, cancers may acquire defects in DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in a positive feedback loop of increasing mutation […]

In this research project, a computational tool will be developed to predict the ground vibration intensities and frequencies during construction activities in urban areas and mining operations. This tool will help minimize the number of vibration monitoring sensors and arrange them properly. It can also reduce the monitoring time significantly. Furthermore, it will help gather […]

The proposed project is to combine digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT), which can be separated into two sub-tasks. The first one is introducing reconstruction holographic algorithm to iSCAT image analysis, realizing real-time particle 3D tracking. Tracking objects along the optical axis in iSCAT is commonly done by comparing the shape of […]

Q&C is a pharmaceutical consultancy company which offers an array of services, some of which include providing guidance to ensure site compliance with the Good Manufacturing Principles (GMP), performing internal audits and helping drug companies navigate the Canadian regulatory landscape in all their operations. This project will aid Q&C in tapping into new markets and […]
