Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) can be vulnerable to various attacks at different levels. The malicious attacks not only result in loss of confidentiality and user privacy, but also lead to more serious consequences such as bodily injury and loss of life. Intrusion detection system (IDS) is an effective way to detect different threats, and […]

Surf-related drowning fatalities represent a significant economic burden to the Province of Ontario but many public beaches in Ontario do not have lifeguard programs and there is also a lack of active monitoring of surf conditions to provide real-time warnings. Improving beach safety is complicated by the fact that rescues and drowning fatalities do not […]

A significant percentage of children around the world are affected by vision problems, such as lazy eye, that cannot be fixed by eyeglasses. When left untreated, vision problems may lead to learning difficulties. Vision therapy offers treatment to many of these problems where eye-trackers are tools used to diagnose and measure the progress of patients […]

The construction industry is moving towards automation using 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology. The 3DCP technology has many advantages including a positive impact on our environment. Current 3D printing material uses a large amount of Portland cement (PC) and natural resources (sand and crushed stones). These printing materials are environmentally harmful because the production of […]

The representation of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) community decreases at higher levels of education/academia. This phenomenon is proverbially referred to as the ‘leaky pipeline’ and has been studied extensively with various populations in multiple disciplines. However, despite scholars identifying some key factors that contribute to the persistence of the BIPOC community […]

The COVID pandemic and looming climate crisis have pushed people to become aware of our vulnerability and rethink our lives/lifestyles. This proposed research sees mindfulness as important in supporting school educators to educate for sustainable living in environmental crises. Mindfulness has gained a mainstream status in school-based programs for its benefits on teachers and students’ […]

The use of new monitoring technologies such as the Motus wildlife tracking system and autonomous recorders currently allow detection of animals and their movements in a variety of ecosystems. Although, the biology of migratory birds in northern latitudes is well understood, there is a lack of information on migration routes, stopovers, and overwinter sites in […]

Titanium alloys are used to manufacture aerospace components that require high strength at high operating temperatures such fan blades, heat shields and jet engine exhaust cones. Parts that have complex geometries are commonly formed at high temperature (around 900°C) so as to achieve maximum ductility during the forming process. By applying a small oscillating load […]

Temporary migrant farm workers make essential contributions to our national food supplies as evidenced during COVID-19. Their exclusion from rights to labour mobility, family unity and the absence of systemic supports, however, undermines workers’ wellbeing and belonging, and the inclusions to which migrant workers are entitled. There is less attention to how communities support their […]

A new process to create greenhouse glazing using 3D Printing is prototyped and tested. Using the principle of layer height fusion of plastic, new glazing will be created to provide shading and diffused light. The 3D Printed glazing will also be changed through the 3D Printer to change the amount of shading and diffused light, […]

The Superplastic Forming process involves gas injection from a variable pressure supply, to form a heated metallic sheet into a complex automotive body panel shape. The current process involves excessive forming times which allow residual stresses to relax thus avoiding cracks and tearing. Research shows that pressure pulsations of the gas supply increase the allowable […]

The Mitacs Globalink Award will empower an interdisciplinary research effort which is geared towards the realization of a prototype Compact Accelerator-based Neutron Source in Canada (CANS) at the University of Windsor. Three beamlines are being planned for the CANS facility and they are intended to serve applications in materials sciences, medical sciences and fluorine-18 radioisotope […]
