The purpose of this project is to provide insight into how game-based learning can be used to motivate positive workplace behaviour and learning over time. The intern will work with an established industry partner that has deployed a game-based learning platform for the workplace, and analyze user performance and motivation data that the industry partner […]

This project will contribute to the design and building of the systems behind our clinical-facing applications for automated point-of-care ultrasound interpretation. Working closely with our product, AI, and regulatory teams, the project focuses on building real-time respiratory imaging tools that bring immediate diagnostic answers to patients — whether at the bedside, in the back of […]

Construction companies spend significant amounts of resources on front end planning (FEP). The potential to obtain substantial benefits from a strategic implementation of front end planning practices across an entire portfolio have made the evaluation of FEP an important issue for both project leaders and scholars. The opportunity now exists to mine the constituent elements […]

1QBit is midway through our effort to create a software suite (Topological Quantum Architecture Design (TopQAD)) that automates quantum architecture design and enables you to study the impact of quantum algorithm and FTQC component design choices on resource requirements. It can be used to support scientific research, product development, and quantum computing policy and investment […]

Goosechase is a Canadian platform that helps schools, nonprofits, and businesses run interactive, mission-based activities like onboarding, orientation, museum tours, and team training. Today, creating these experiences and checking large numbers of photo, video, and text submissions is slow and manual, especially in education, where safety and privacy are critical. This project will build AI […]

The role of this internship is to assist in reaching the SSHRC goal for the Dreamcatcher system of capturing cultural data, traditional ecological knowledge, and traditional land use. This internship will contribute to the growing area of critical Indigenous research in Canadian planning practice and theory. Canadian planning structures, including heritage recognition and conservation, are […]

This project develops programmable micro-lens arrays made from soft, temperature-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). Using digital micromirror lithography, the research will enable lenses that can adjust their focus through controlled shape changes. The collaboration between the University of Waterloo and Kent State University aims to advance adaptive optics for next-generation imaging and sensing technologies.

The proposed research intends to develop a generalized approach for the remote control of untethered effectors with less feedback required for stable control. Effectively, this approach doesn’t attempt to control effectors directly, instead aiming to control a weighted distribution of possible locations. In situations where imaging bandwidth is sufficient for stable control, the controlled distribution […]

This MITACS project between the University of Waterloo (UW, host supervisor: Prof. Na Young Kim) and Yonsei University (YU, home supervisors: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo and Prof. Chae-Yeun Park) aims to develop a room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator. The room-temperature system can contribute to solving a complex many-body problem, since it does not require cryogenic cooling that […]

One of the biggest mysteries in modern physics is “dark energy”. This strange form of energy makes up over half of our Universe and is causing space to expand faster and faster. Even 30 years after its Nobel Prize-winning discovery, we still have no clear idea what dark energy actually is. Scientists have come up […]

Researchers at the University of Waterloo are partnering with VanadiumCorp, Administration Gilles R. Dupuis Inc, and NanoNife to evaluate the performance of a redox flow battery stack prototype (9 cells, 9 × 500 cm²) developed by Administration Gilles R. Dupuis Inc and NanoNife. VanadiumCorp will supply the vanadium-based electrolyte, which will undergo conductivity optimization prior […]

This project, based at the Tyndall Institute at University College Cork in Ireland, is creating one of the first open-access, lab-quality biomechanics datasets focused on dance. It will record movement from different dance styles using motion capture, wearable sensors, and muscle activity measurements to better understand the physical demands of dance techniques and the risks […]
