Light detectors are a mature technology that we encounter on a day-to-day basis without even realizing it, such as in cameras for high resolution imaging and in satellites and dishes for communication. The ability to detect light at the fundamental limit (i.e., single photons) is critical for numerous applications in modern medicine, imaging and quantum […]

Cyclic Materials are helping the world transition to a more environmentally responsible future by recovering rare earth elements and other valuable materials from the difficult-to-recycle products of the modern world. Helping businesses recycle, provide the market with a secure and regional supply of critical metals, and do so in an ethical, economic, and sustainable way. […]

The presence of chlorine-bearing compounds in sewer headspaces is a potential risk to personnel and can cause decay of valuable infrastructure through increased rates of corrosion. There is however little information available on their speciation and concentration in these systems as standard methods for sampling them from sewer headspaces do not exist. In addition, the […]

The two goals of this project are to: 1. create a demonstration information system based on an existing system called Dreamcatcher for consultation, land-use, occupancy, and planning based on the archival material of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation (MNCFN); and 2. use this system and First Story to preserve and promote Aboriginal […]

The project aims to develop a strategy to drive operational efficiencies across all of Viva’s core business functions.

Quantum computers are well-suited to a subset of machine learning tasks known as supervised learning (SL). In SL, a model is trained on labelled data to generate correct labels for novel data thereafter. Robust classifiers can be achieved in SL by using the “kernel trick”, which provides a more expressive metric from a transformed point […]

We are seeking someone who can work closely with our founding engineers to enhance the various methods we collect and process data from customers. Specific tasks will include conducting secondary and primary source research on data sources of interest (data silos). Tasks will also include producing validation that data sources can be ingested from customer […]

In response to the current housing crisis, we are studying the effectiveness of tiny homes as a solution to transitional housing for housing insecure persons in the Region of Waterloo. We have completed an earlier phase of this research which produced a Tiny House prototype and propose to continue this research through the following two […]

The research will document process knowledge that is currently held by individual employees. The main objective is that this personal knowledge about processes can be shared and used to create standardized documents which, as a result, can improve coordination and collaboration. The documentation work will include reviewing existing organization’s documents, engaging personnel in series of […]

The research project bridges across international architectural exhibitions using nextgeneration dissemination venues, including online and physical screenings. The project includes the immersive architectural environment Grove and its associated CGI film Grove Cradle. The film was created for the 17th Venice Biennale of Architecture as a collaboration between Professor Philip Beesley of Canada, Warren Du Preez […]

Prostate cancer is a prominent cause of death in Canada. A better understanding of how prostate tumours grow and respond to treatment is vital; however, typical lab methods used to study cancer have key limitations. To compensate for these shortcomings, computational models have revolutionized the study of cancer. This research proposes modifying an existing 3D […]
