When students use mobile devices in a classroom, teachers cannot easily know if students are actively engaged in group activities or if they are distracted. For example, a student may be observing the activities of others rather than contributing to group workspace. Even though students are in close proximity, they can be too focused on […]

This research project will systematically compare different design alternatives for a data store module that is tuned for concurrent accesses by multiple independent threads in a program. The particular access pattern is modelled after the specifics of automated securities trading programs implemented in Java. Based on a systematic evaluation, a prototype implementation will be developed […]

Spinal disorders are the largest cause of years lived with disability globally. Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is a common surgical approach to address dis degeneration, but reoperation rates can remain as high as 20%. Mechanical analysis of on-market designs and discussions with spine surgeons suggest this is linked to the mechanical design of the implants […]

The objective of the proposal is to enable high-reliability free-space quantum communication in turbulence environments. Free-space optical and quantum communications face a critical hurdle of atmospheric turbulence induced distortions in propagating optical beams. This degrades signal purity in quantum key distribution (QKD) and long-distance optical transmission. Our vision for this project is to establish a […]

Our project focuses on improving protein purification using a novel continuous separation method; Free-Flow Counterflow Gradient Focusing (FF-CGF). Traditional purification methods are slow, inefficient, and result in high sample loss, making it difficult for industries like pharmaceuticals and biotech to recover valuable proteins. Our technology offers a faster, more efficient alternative without the need for […]

The objective of this project is to create and improve metal-infused filaments for low-cost 3D printers by including recyclable elements. We combine recyclable and bio-based polymers with eco-friendly metal particles, including carbonyl nickel, to provide a durable and sustainable 3D printing material. During the first phase, we produce and test these metal/polymer filaments to ensure […]

CIGI aims to address the lack of knowledge relating to regulations and decision-making of emerging dual-use technology. This initiative will focus on quantum technologies as a case-study. There is a need for knowledge-building, knowledge-translation and innovation to advance a technology-dynamics perspective in forming decisions on emerging dual-use technology (quantum). To address this need, CIGI proposes […]

Demand for water and wastewater treatment has grown substantially in recent years, leading to a increased need for innovative technology. To remain a global leader in UV-based treatment technology, Trojan must continue to innovate through its intesive research and development program. One of Trojan’s distinguishing features has been the rigorous analysis and testing that our […]

Through this engagement, students will work in the 5G innovation space, looking at creating technology solutions for customers that ultimately impact the larger Canadian Innovation ecosystem. Students will have the opportunity to work on projects in various industries, including transportation, public safety, automotive, manufacturing, and others. Through these projects, the interns will help Rogers customers/partners […]

The aims of the partner organization are to: bolster audience engagement, i.e., to enhance the experience of those already attending the Stratford Festival; bolster audience attendance, i.e., to draw new crowds to the Stratford Festival; and establish the Festival as a leading digital media creator in the field of professional theatre. With the intern’s focus […]

The proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern aims to find cost-saving trends of market-based instruments and other mechanisms for small municipalities. By collecting data indicating the performance of different types of market-based instruments and other mechanisms the intern will be able to distinguish which ones have seen the most positive results in […]

MedMe Health, a leader in pharmacy software solutions, is embarking on an innovative project to streamline patient data management through seamless integration with third-party Pharmacy Management Systems (PMS). This project focuses on creating a bidirectional integration between MedMe’s platform and PMS, enabling the automated transfer and synchronization of patient records. As the healthcare industry continues […]
