Cellular immunotherapy has yielded numerous clinical benefits in treating cancer. While many successes involve CAR T cells, unfortunately this potent anticancer cell therapy can cause serious and even fatal complications. Another immune cell, the natural killer cell (NK), may lead to effective treatment without unwanted side-effects. Furthermore, the use of stem cell-derived NKs provides additional […]

The field of responsible investing is rapidly expanding, with even greater attention on the importance of responsible investment with each passing year, as seen most recently in the aftermath of the impactful 2021 COP26 summit, where responsible investment was key focal point. Directing our financial resources in a sustainable direction has the potential to have […]

The topic of our research is to study how randomization is used to solve Byzantine Agreement problem in different computational models. Byzantine Agreement is a classic distributed computing problem, where processors try to agree on a value, but some of the processors try to disrupt the agreement or make sure that the algorithm never terminates. […]

Involving some of the smartest students in Ukraine, the research project and partnership will enrich the Master of Global Affairs and Master of Public Policy programs at the Munk School. KSE students will provide Munk community a window into the Ukrainian policymaking process as well as a more general understanding of governance during conflict, Simultaneously, […]

This project will measure the behavioural responses in a certain fly species, ‘Ormia ochracea’, to a variety of cricket mating songs, and from geographically separated North American populations of the fly. This type of fly attacks crickets so that their larvae may feed and mature within the cricket’s body. They locate the cricket’s position by […]

Biological-system-based production of chemicals and fuels (Eg: ethanol, bio-diesel, bio-nylon, etc.) has lesser or no impact on the environment than their conventional, chemical processes But, these biofactories are not evolved to produce industrially important chemicals yet. Hence, the productivity of the desired chemical is low in an isolated biological system. Metabolic engineering modifies the metabolic […]

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

Canada’s Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program has gained a lot of international attention from countries around the world. Since the program’s inception, emerging literature has appropriately captured the increasing shift from the ‘welcoming the stranger’ model to ‘kin-linked’ based sponsorships. Today, linked-sponsorships make up the majority or private sponsorships. Further, in the Fall of […]

All data-driven solutions today start with the ingestion (input) of data. Typically that data is messy and unlabelled. However, downstream consumers of data benefit from well-labelled data. Data labelling (assigning categories, data types, privacy and sensitivity tags, source characteristics, etc.) is usually an error-prone, time-consuming, manual effort. There are no readily available off-the-shelf tools that […]

The field of responsible investing is rapidly expanding, with even greater attention on the importance of responsible investment in 2021, as seen in the aftermath of the hugely impactful COP26 summit. Directing our financial resources in a sustainable direction has the potential to have a massive impact on helping us meet the Sustainable Development Goals […]

Standard cognitive assessments are normally administered over pen-and-paper or desktop computers. Although these tests are accessible, they are often administered by a trained professional to ensure protocol adherence, and shorter tasks are often repeated many times to mitigate the impact of anomalous trials. These considerations render the current practices costly and time-consuming. For this proposal, […]

My project is related to machine learning and robotics. A brief description of my project is the following: a robot comes into a room and takes snapshots of this room. Then the algorithm will make different digital representations of the room and store them in the database. After that, the robot can make photos of […]
