Over the past decade, Japanese influence on North American pop culture has seen a noticeable increase. Examples can be seen from the world of street fashion, luxury goods, film/media production, and beyond. Japanese influence has, at times, even been considered the driving factor in the success of numerous North American brands/artists. Take, for example, the […]

Statistics Canada estimates that going forward, 25% of all Canadian work hours will be completed remotely, which means that remote work will be a permanent fixture of the Canadian labour force. Increasingly, workplaces are embracing completely remote or hybrid (a combination of remote and in-office work). Regardless, often these decisions are made by the workplace […]

Learning technologies now exist that give students practice thinking critically and creatively, communicating and collaborating, and gaining an insight into their personal strengths and weaknesses. In the case of a technology called peerScholar, that exercise happens as students give feedback and then learn from feedback effectively. Giving effective constructive feedback and learning from the feedback […]

In this project, the university and industry researchers will work together to examine ways in which two new, powerful computing technologies, machine learning, and quantum computing, can be combined in order to improve our ability to understand and simulate molecules, chemistry and materials. One of the key challenges that limits improvements to today’s chemical simulation […]

The main objective of this study is to design a new fabric-based wearable tele-rehab system for automatic assessment of patients’ range of motion and quality of movements. This wearable system will consist of a lightweight stretchable sleeve that can accommodate frequent large stresses while keeping the functionality and durability of the device intact. In addition, […]

The electrical activity of muscles can be recorded from the skin and used to control external devices. Advances in this technology have the potential to allow a broad range of users with disabilities to control assistive technologies. This project will develop a system that uses sensors embedded in garments to measure muscle signals, and artificial […]

The project is intended to support and enhance the learnings provided by Stem Minds – a Toronto based start-up that provides digital learning focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), through the approach of gamification. The project will focus on the factors that motivate students to learn STEM subjects through gamification to deepen their […]

Vibration of aircraft engine is the major contribution to the structure vibration in an aircraft. To reduce the cabin noise and improve the comfortability for air passenger, research design and analysis are desired in the engine technology. A critical component in eliminating the vibration in an aero engine is the squeeze film damper (SFD). Current […]

This research project will examine fruit tree health in the City of Toronto. This will be done by conducting a health assessment of Not Far From The Tree’s fruit trees and will examine if there is any variance between species or neighbourhoods. Additionally, since NFFTT’s trees are located on privately-owned land, this project will examine […]

This project will support Not Far From The Tree, a nonprofit organization which coordinates volunteer picks of fruit trees on private property in Toronto’s downtown core. The intern will work on database management and spatial visualization of tree health, type, age, and other details across Not Far From The Tree’s working area. The intern will […]

The overall purpose of this research is to measure the effect of lower extremity muscular fatigue and bracing on the hip, knee, and ankle joint biomechanics in two different populations; i) those at risk of ACL injury and ii) those with early onset osteoarthritis. This topic is significant because muscle fatigue is often considered as […]
