Testing is a core process for the development of Virtual Reality (VR) software. VR development without appropriate and efficient testing will cause defective user experience and slow down the development process. However, state-of-art VR testing highly relied on VR equipment such as VR headset. To address this problem, our project will investigate and assess novel […]

Multiple coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 have infected humans in the last two decades. In particular, the current COVID-19 pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2 has affected the entire human population, caused millions of deaths and negatively impacted the global economy. Vaccines have helped to reduce the severity of the infection; however, the virus continues to […]

UrbanSim is a simulation framework that facilitates the evaluation of land and transportations policies in the housing and land markets. Current approaches in the UrbanSim, being developed through CHMC to represent the Greater Toronto Horseshoe, do not consider price expectation formation in land and housing market models. The goal of this research project is to […]

The applicants propose to develop a new glue that surgeons will use to glue broken bones back together instead of using metal implants like screws and plates. Such a product has been sought for decades because of potential benefits to the surgeons and patients, including ease of operation when reassembly the puzzle of a complex […]

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is one of the most widely used imaging tools by the researchers and industries to view and characterize tiny objects. This tool uses a very tiny and sharp probe to scan or feel the surface of the specimens and then it produces a topography image of the scanned surfaces. This research […]

As the leader in the delivery of pediatric rehabilitation services for the Region of Waterloo and County of Wellington, KidsAbility serves 11,000 children annually with a variety of developmental, physical and communication needs. For the past 30 years, demand for KidsAbility’s services has grown at twice the rate of growth in revenue. The disparity between […]

The Institute for Peace and Diplomacy (IPD) is organizing and hosting the second annual Middle East Strategy Forum (MESF) in Spring 2022. The conference is focused on the geopolitical developments in the Middle East and Canada’s defence strategy toward the region. The three-day conference will be hosted in a hybrid format in Ottawa, convening in-person […]

Additive manufacturing (AM, also referred to as metal 3D printing) promises to revolutionize the manufacturing sector by allowing custom parts to be printed on demand. Despite manufacturing accounting for 10% of Canada’s GDP, less than 5% of Canadian companies use AM. Among the limiting factors to the adoption of this technology are a lack of […]

The mining sector is vital to the Canadian economy, contributing $71B towards the GDP and providing 392,000 jobs. Canada is the 4th and 8th largest global producer of refined zinc and lead, respectively, and as one of the world’s largest zinc and lead refining facilities, Teck Resources’ operation in Trail, BC, is an important part […]

This research project will engage 10-20 participants from community-based food initiatives across Waterloo-Wellington region to explore how groups access land to grow food. Access to land within urban environments is important for urban Indigenous peoples whose relationships with land have been disrupted by colonization. Indigenous Peoples honour relationships and responsibilities to land, which stands in […]

Quantum networks will enhance the security of communication and link quantum computers together to solve certain problems that are not possible with present day computers. To realize practical applications with a quantum advantage, thousands of photons must be controlled, and entanglement utilized to distribute quantum bits across the network. In this project, we will develop […]
