The proposed research project aims to understand junior students’ (grades 4-6) attitudes towards disability. The students are part of an inclusive school board in Ontario. The research will be done through the use of three surveys, two worksheets, and an intervention utilizing parasport athletes. Surveys and worksheets will be given to students before and after […]

This research project is focused on using AI technology called Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) to generate results that are more human-like and of higher quality. The team will utilize a technique called “prompt engineering” to work with a leading PLM in the market, GPT-3, to enhance productivity in reading and writing tasks for salespeople. By […]

The Local Black History Internship Program will provide an undergraduate student from the University of Windsor with a unique opportunity to conduct research with a university professor and develop a museum exhibit for the Amherstburg Freedom Museum. This position will offer the intern insights into how the study of the past is conducted by professional […]

Mastercard is looking to make transactions simple and secure for its customers and vendors across the globe by harnessing the power of graph learning. In this project, the power of graph-based deep learning will be utilized to develop a system that can detect fraud entities, anomalous communities, etc. This track will enable card users and […]

The CURating Clinical Trials project will fill the service gap to help patients, their families, or clinicians find potential clinical trials for patients. Patients can apply for our service through our website and link directly with a navigator to support their search for possible trial matches. Through the development of a new engagement platform and […]

This project plans to investigate the synthesis and reactivity of new iron-based compounds for the conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol. These compounds aim to use cheaper, more earth abundant materials and exhibit greater efficiency than current literature examples. During this research project, all compounds will be fully identified with a range of analytical techniques […]

Automotive makers are facing increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift from the use of more conventional internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Along with this shift comes a demand for on-board electronics that can operate at higher power densities, such as the electric motor. A less utilized, yet cheaper and more […]

The interns will be working in medicinal chemistry on two projects: the design and synthesis of drugs targeting the cyclin dependent kinase, CDK1; and the design of small molecule inhibitors of mutant KRAS. Both of these proteins are commonly involved in cancer initiation. In neither case are there good drugs available to patients. Although separate […]

This research study will examine the effectiveness of a vibration massage system in automotive seating. The vibration parameters of the massage system will be tested by examining different vibration frequencies, types of vibration exposure, and location of the vibration while occupants are sitting in an automotive seat. The intern will measure biometric data of the […]

According to the existing airworthiness standards, aircraft turbofan engine certification must demonstrate its ability to contain a fan blade should the blade accidentally separate under critical operating conditions. P&WC has established a full engine computational analysis process. In the continuing evolution of this modelling process, several areas requiring improvement have been identified as critical. One […]

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) represent the most employed technology for use in electric vehicles as they offer high capacity, cycle-life, and power at reduced weight and dimensions. Current LIB anodes are mainly carbon-based materials with a limited theoretical capacity. On the other hand, a silicon (Si) anode has a theoretical capacity close to an order magnitude […]

Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) continue to be one of the most common lost-time injuries in Canada and South Korea, comprising over a third of all work-related lost-time injuries. Given the continued prevalence of WMSDs despite efforts to decrease their occurrence, a new approach to WMSDs intervention is required. This research project is to validate the […]
