Electric power is almost entirely transmitted through polymer insulated cables or wires in every home, factory, plant, or apparatus. If the temperature of a cable increases, it would be an indication that some accidents or malfunctions such as inflow of excess electric current occur in the cable. The generated heat, indeed, degrades the polymer insulations […]

The post-doctoral fellow will act as an academic liaison between the Stratford Festival and the University of Waterloo’s Games Institute’s joint project on a series of Shakespeare-themed video games and apps. The Festival will benefit from a development of new games. This project also offers numerous scholarly products as output, including a growing partnership between […]

Main aim of this project is to develop a prediction model for cancer projection, with detailed information regarding incidence, mortality and other measures of cancer burden for the most common types of cancer, presented by age, sex, time and geographic locations. These data can help stimulatenew research as well as assist decision-making and priority-setting at […]

Three out of five Canadians with dementia wander, raising concern as to how it can be managed. Strategies, such as GPS, offer options for finding missing persons with dementia and may be a preferred strategy by police. As part of the Finding Your Way® Program with the Alzheimer Society on Ontario, a series of education […]

This project is to focus on building an application which can be used to perform a hearing test on a mobile device (such as an iPhone or iPad). The intern is to implement a white-label (brand-free and easily reusable) application which can be easily distributed by doctor’s offices and hearing centers with their specific brand […]

The goal of the partnership between Mantech and Waterloo is to develop a technology to manufacture smart hybrid water sensors for current and future disease prediction and detection. This technology will have an invaluable impact on human health research efforts to contain the COVID-19 and possible future pandemic spread, and put Ontario and Canada far […]

For banks and financial institutions data is one of the most important assets, providing the key to true differentiation and competitive advantage. Insight Business Intelligence solutions, offered by Banking Software Company Temenos, turn figures into meaningful information for business decision making. However the existing business rules based models could be improved by using novel statistical […]

CANDU 6 is a Canadian technology 700 MWe class nuclear power reactor. CANDU 6 reactors are performing well on four continents with over 150 reactor-years of excellent and safe operation. Candu Energy is a Canadian-based company that is enhancing this reactor design based on the experience and feedback that was gained in the development, design, […]

The Etobicoke Creek watershed is heavily urbanized with erosion issues due to the high amount of impervious cover and creek channelization. This research will help to better understand the current erosion sensitivities and risks within the watershed for inclusion in a comprehensive watershed plan that will inform municipal land use and infrastructure planning.

Unsupervised machine learning has recently been introduced into the field of quantum many-body physics. A strategy based on generative models has been particularly successful in the data-driven learning of quantum states. In this proposal, we aim to adapt this technology to applications in quantum chemistry. The primary focus of this research will be on the […]

Computer hardware is enjoying a widespread renaissance with the emergence of the compute-intensive and challenging machine learning workloads. ABR develops and maintains NENGO, a biologically-plausible model for neural networks and is keen to develop hardware support for efficient realizations of these networks. FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), are an attractive target for this if we can […]
