The research centers around the feasibility study of a method to detect faulty outdoor insulators and to classify the type of defects within the insulator. Every different type of defect results in a specific electromagnetic Signature that can be acquired using an antenna and oscilloscope. Using these Signatures some specific features (eg statistical or spectral […]

LoopX plans to have their intern develop a virtual testing platform in a simulated software program, where the robots mining vehicles with the autonomous driving algorithms that are meant to drive in mines can be put through their paces. These robot mining vehicles are expected to handle complex mining-specific situations, but mines are tricky places […]

As the general population ages the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, has dramatically increased in recent years. One of the main hallmarks of this disease is the buildup of amyloid beta peptides in the brain. This peptide is capable of damaging the cell membranes of neurons and aggregating into plaques […]

The project focuses on integrating critical design methods into the tech development workflow to address ethical concerns and promote inclusivity, diversity, and equity. As an intern, I will contribute to designing focus group questions, conducting focus group sessions, documenting the research group’s activities, and coding data from focus groups. Additionally, I will assist in organizing […]

TimePlay’s project aims to revolutionize the entertainment experience by providing innovative solutions that increase engagement and participation among players and participants, ultimately enhancing the overall satisfaction and enjoyment of their environment. Our TP3 Mobile, serves as a platform that hosts various interactive games and components, including features that allows hosts to control the flow of […]

Group and individual problem-solving play important roles in industrial innovation, product development, strategy formulation, and many other applications. Prof. Duimering’s lab at the University of Waterloo has conducted experiments investigating the behaviour of individuals and groups solving problems under various conditions. Studies have investigated the effects of problem complexity, individual vs. group incentives, and the […]

The proposed project aims to advance computational neuroscience by enhancing the MouseNet model, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) designed to emulate the structure and function of the mouse visual cortex. By incorporating 3D convolutions and realistic temporal dynamics, the project seeks to model the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) dynamics more accurately. This enhancement will provide […]

The project aims to enhance our understanding and ability to predict the dynamics of cognitive and sensorimotor functions in skilled behaviors. Through the integration of non-invasive brain stimulation (like TMS) and machine learning algorithms, this research seeks to develop models that can foresee cognitive-sensorimotor interaction outcomes both in individuals with neurological conditions and healthy subjects. […]

This project focuses on creating interdisciplinary educational program within the energy field. The goal is to address the challenge of engineers struggling to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different backgrounds – both within and outside of engineering. By integrating energy principles with business, political, and environmental considerations, this project aims to equip future engineers with […]

QiiQ Healthcare is building solutions to positively impact the speed, efficiency, and efficacy of clinical workflow – starting in the emergency department. This pursuit requires rapid innovation cycles that respect the constraints of regulatory compliance. This places an unfair disadvantage on small vendors who do not have large compliance and IP teams. As a small […]

The objective of the “rTMS for post-covid-19 condition: A sham-controlled case series involving iTBS-300 and iTBS-600” project is to determine the efficacy, feasibility, and tolerability of several iTBS variants (iTBS-300, iTBS-600) and sham stimulation in PCC patients. Secondarily, the aim is to examine signs of improvement in cognitive, affective, and functional symptoms following each iTBS […]

Feeling belonging is important for all people, including children. Many organizations want to help children feel they belonging in their communities and the programs they attend (such as recreation or education programs). But to do this, organizations need a way to measure belonging and see how it changes over time. This project addresses this need […]
