During this research I will contribute to our growing understanding of dark matter and dark energy by applying and extending the theoretical framework of simulation and modeling of how dark matter couples via gravity to induce measureable peculiar velocities. As a result of this work Dr. Lavaux and I hope to produce a large set […]

The research program investigates the potential of form-fitting connections in terms of structural performance, manufacturing cost, ease of assembly, and embodied carbon to that of connectors currently employed in the industry. The joint topologies considered will be influenced by joinery techniques and geometry from various cultures and an understanding of the factors that led to […]

The industry partner, Xanadu, is developing large-scale quantum computers based on a photonic hardware platform. All large-scale quantum computers will rely on error correction codes in order to carry out useful computations. Due to the possibility for long-range qubit connections in a photonic system, via fibre optics, it may be possible to exploit non-local connections […]

Building codes are often written in complex legal language, making them difficult to understand. While diagrams can help, they often lack standardization and fail to convey the intent of the requirements. To help architects, engineers, contractors, and inspectors to understand the intent and specifics of requirements, we aim to develop a set of best practices […]

The project intends to create AI agents for the financial services and insurance, transportation & logistics and public sector verticals. This will allow us to expand the reach and adoption of AI and GenAI at the Enterprise by adding ML capabilities as part of the intelligent automation solutions we build. The candidate will be responsible […]

The overarching aim of the study, of which the proposed MITACS funded work is part, is to determine if heritage designation impacts properties and to better understand some people’s support and other peoples resistance to designation. One aspect in particular concerns a building’s time-on-the-market (TOM). Although there have been studies on designation, there is a […]

Growing energy demand in buildings has driven research towards efficient techniques and sustainable sources. Double-skin façades reduce energy consumption, improve thermal comfort, and enable bioenergy generation via microalgae photobioreactors. While recent research has focused on optimizing thermal and bioenergy generation from such systems, it often neglects the impact of heat gain by the occupied space […]

The current treatment for blood clots involves administering medications that increase the risk of excessive bleeding. Surgical intervention can be used, however, complex bends in the blood vessels can make it difficult to reach the clot site. Current treatments are not always successful, particularly in hard-to-reach areas such as below the knee. Miniature robots offer […]

This project aims to explore the coalescence of gas bubbles in ionic liquids which are potential electrolytes for fuel cells. This research will be conducted under the guidance of experts from the University of Waterloo in Canada and TU Delft in The Netherlands. By joining the Mitacs Globalink program, the researcher hopes to use advanced […]

MedMe Health, a leader in pharmacy software solutions, is embarking on an innovative project to enhance its platform’s front-end architecture and optimize key functionalities, particularly the appointment scheduling system. As the healthcare industry faces increasing demands for efficient, scalable, and user-friendly digital solutions, MedMe’s platform must evolve to maintain its competitive edge and continue providing […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Medella Health is developing contact lenses that continuously detect blood glucose levels to better manage diabetes and improve the quality of life for diabetic patients. Patients have a difficult time monitoring and maintaining their blood glucose levels because current systems are invasive, discontinuous and do not generate the continuous feedback necessary for patients to take […]
