Sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder among heart failure (HF) patients where it increases the mortality risk. Therefore, it is important to develop new treatments for sleep apnea. We have proposed that fluid which is accumulated in the legs during day moves towards the head when lying down to sleep and accumulates in the […]

The big problem in healthcare Is that that about 80% of medical data remains unstructured and untapped after it is created. It’s hard to handle this type of data for Electronic Medical Record (EPIC), it tends to be ignored, unsaved or abandoned, and therefore is not effectively used in medical treatment or research. It’s highly […]

The search for music for a video is time-intensive. Video creators and bloggers listen to hundreds of tracks in music libraries, yet barely find the perfect one because of the difficulty of communicating their vision to the computer. Thus, the question we address in this research project is on the role of the modality, in […]

The “Improving Access to Detached Additional Dwelling Unit Data” project will help ensure the successful scaling of the ADUSearch.ca tool, an online interactive mapping tool that allows users to determine the physical feasibility of building a detached ADU in compliance with the local zoning bylaws on both a lot-by-lot basis and at an aggregated geographic […]

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, […]

There is an Elite graduate program at the University of Toronto’s Department of Computer Science called Master of Applied Science in Computing (MScAC). During this program students spend 8 months taking graduate courses and 8 months at their applied research internship at multinational research labs and startups, which send their project proposals for program approval. […]

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. […]

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 […]
