The goal of this project is to investigate how a new online digital technology, Maple Learn, can contribute to contemporary mathematics curricula internationally. New curricula in mathematics emphasize broad skills that cut across all mathematics domains. In other words, instead of focusing of formulas and procedures, contemporary mathematics curricula promote similarities across domains (such as […]

There is recently a trend of applying computer vision for interpreting the inspection images or videos of pips automatically. In recent years, deep learning has obtained promising performance in various computer vision tasks such as image classification and object detection. Compared with conventional computer vision techniques, approaches based on deep learning are capable of extracting […]

Recent advances in stem cell research have shown the use of silk cultures as an effective and timely method to grow and test stem cell cultures. Silk cultures have the propensity to incorporate bioactive ques, either covalently linked to the protein, or physically adsorbed. With the use of silk material, this proposed project will investigate […]

This project will be looking to work with the Cansbridge Fellowship to work on solutions for food waste and innovative solutions for waste management today. I will be working on this project in conjunction with a Singapore-based startup as a case study to work on waste management and the reduction of food wastes in the […]

Online misinformation is a threat to Canada’s democratic processes, economic activities and public health. Individuals need to be empowered to critically evaluate the online information they consume in a consistent manner, otherwise, they will fall victim to manipulation, deception, polarization, radicalization, etc, efforts from malicious cyber actors. The intern will review the latest findings from […]

The intern’s project comprises an internship at a consulting firm in Canada. They will conduct research into mechanical systems, evaluating the best methods and materials that are to be implemented in the construction of a hospital. Through this project, the intern will increase their professional network, and the level of experience they have in the […]

Several barriers continue impacting EV adoption, including vehicle driving range, cost, lifespan, and safety. These barriers are aggravated in extreme cold and hot climate settings due to the sensitivity of batteries and EV technologies to sub-zero and high temperatures (above 45°C). Partnering with Ford Canada, we will jointly develop battery thermal management innovations combining physics-based […]

Current rates of recycling for many metal species are near-zero. Improved processes are needed for enabling efficient recycling of electronics waste, including batteries. In our work, we will design polymeric membrane materials that will provide a robust platform for separations processes, specifically targeting separating metal ions from each other in aqueous solution. The interns will […]

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a programmable technology that enable the implementation of hardware circuits. FPGAs are now being used as computing devices, but lack the capabilities and services provided by the operating systems used in all software-based computing systems. The goal of this project is to develop some fundamental operating system features for […]

Nanosized devices operating inside the human body open up new prospects in health care. On the one hand, molecular communication enables biological nanomachines to communicate by exchanging molecules and performing applicationdependent tasks. On the other hand, electromagnetic (EM) nano-communication points to the Terahertz Band (0.1- 10 THz) as the frequency range for communication among nano-biosensors. […]

Building off of the original Healthy Bodies Scorecard project, this research aims to test the newly developed Healthy Body Scorecard tool and provide evidence of its usefulness. We will distribute the draft of the scorecard along with a feedback questionnaire for health care practitioners (HCP’s) targeting those who work with typically developing children as well […]

The project will significantly advance and integrate three sophisticated contaminated site characterization tools: stable isotope analysis, microbial community profiles, and 3D reactive transport modeling. These three tools will be applied to a series of poorly studied semi volatile compounds, including (di)chloronitrobenzenes and (di)chloroanilines, and incorporated in a conceptual site model along with concentration profiles and […]
