The objective is to expand on current collision avoidance path planning frameworks in a two-fold manner, improving prediction as well as decision-making components. The first task is to improve prediction models and generate maneuver bands for air traffic circuit navigation. The second task is to then improve the decision-making framework to select the pseudo-optimal maneuver, […]

MedMe Health is pursuing further growth within Canada, especially in Quebec, and prepares for expansion into new markets such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The company’s customer onboarding process is currently cumbersome and manual, which affects scalability and limits customers’ control over account management. They also face the hurdle of language localization […]

The intern will investigate the architectural potential and philosophical merit of Near-Living Architecture, a design that allows environments to be aware and empathetic to their occupants. To do this, the intern will edit and contribute to the upcoming Near-Living Architecture Monograph, a written work describing the vision, execution and future applications of research conducted by […]

The RIA is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and care of older adults through partnerships in research, education and practice. One of the RIA’s key areas of interest involves addressing unexplained falls in older adults, which dramatically increases morbidity and mortality in individuals with pre-existing frailty. There is currently […]

The primary goals of our project are to fill critical knowledge gaps directly identified in the Federal Recovery Strategy for the Eastern Whip-poor-will regarding habitat use, prey availability, migratory paths and strategies, and overwintering sites in Southern Ontario, and to inform landowners about the presence of Eastern Whip-poor-will on their properties to support on-the-ground stewardship […]

We are testing a novel approach that enables us to create structures with specific sizes and shapes within aerogel using syringe pumps and 3D printers. This method enables specific internal pore structure design. This is possible because freeze-drying removes ice structures placed within the wet gel. Once the aerogel is lyophilized, it will have cavities […]

The research will portray the institutional evolution of post-reform China’s compensation and resettlement mechanism for land expropriation through a case study in Shanghai’s urban fringe region. The project will incorporate archive studies (Phase I), interviews with various stakeholders (Phase II), and ground surveys with affected rural households (Phase II). The study will not only probe […]

This research project works to improve the industry partner’s customer engagement prediction by using advanced analytics. The project focuses on understanding which contacts are most likely to engage with a customer’s marketing campaign, such as opening emails, clicking links, or making transactions. By analyzing a large amount of data, the research team will develop models […]

The free-flow counter gradient focusing technology provides a solution to tackling the problem of separating and collecting large amounts of protein sample. This technology is to be high performance and scalable, and is meant to compete against current batch mode protein separation techniques. The intern will assist in developing the experimental set-up necessary to validate […]

Solar photovoltaics (PV) is currently the second-largest renewable energy after hydropower, producing 3.6% of the world’s electricity in 2016. To achieve caron neutrality, higher share of solar and renewable energy is required, and enhancement of durability of solar PV modules of larger size with tracker systems is the key. This research employs laboratory testing and […]

Vaccines are inherently unstable and are stored in the refrigerator or frozen. This project aims to design a vaccine technology, using a viral vector, that would be much more stable and able to be stored at room temperature. This advantage would reduce the cost of transport and storage, especially in the case of stockpiling for […]

The current healthcare system is struggling with maintaining quality and managing costs. With more older people and more cases of chronic illnesses, these problems are likely to get worse. By using the fast 5G network set up by Rogers at the University of Waterloo, along with medical monitoring devices from Mespere LifeSciences and the Tang […]
