PUBLIC was founded in 1988 by Public Access Collective, a Canadian charitable nonprofit organization committed to curating and producing innovative artistic research-creation projects and public interventions. Living Archives, Histories and Futures of Alternative Book Publishing is a research-creation project focused on developing PUBLIC Books and PUBLIC Online, including the further development of a more hybridized […]

Flocking behavior is the behavior exhibited when a group of birds, called a flock, are foraging or in flight. There are parallels with the shoaling behavior of fish, the swarming behavior of insects, and herd behavior of land animals. What we want to do is to build the mathematics models and use these models to […]

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the world. One person dies in Canada every five minutes from heart conditions, stroke, or vascular cognitive impairment. There have been 2.6 million CVD-related hospitalizations in Canada between 2007 and 2017. CVDs alone cost totaling $21.2 billion a year in direct (medical) and indirect (lost […]

The proposed REM project aims at developing and installing a highly iconographic solar charging station that will help inspire and foster the expansion of local infrastructure for electric vehicles at York University. This effort is part of a plan to use this innovative solar charging station to offset the electrical needs of EVs and most […]

This project aims to improve the way we assess the strength of short fiber reinforced composites, focusing on sustainability. By exploiting the distinct visibility traits of PEEK and carbon fibers in CT scans, the study will utilize non-destructive testing and computer algorithms to analyze and measure factors critical to the material’s strength directly from scan […]

SSL offers a compelling solution by enabling the acquisition of efficient and generalizable representations from large […]

We are embarking on an exciting research project that aims to enhance how we diagnose and treat depression in young adults aged 18-29. Our team will use machine learning to better understand how a person’s genetic makeup and life experiences can affect their mental health. Specifically, we will enhance a tool called YMI, developed by […]

This project aims to simulate the melting of clusters that are important in the field of nanotechnology and catalysis. We will improve the computational efficiency of Parallel Tempering Monte Carlo (PTMC) simulations by integrating GPU capabilities and interfacing with Gaussian software for energy calculations. The project is an essential part of a Ph.D. thesis that […]
