In recent years, ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has gained ground in bridge construction and infrastructure. The tensile behaviour of UHPFRC that effectively limits crack propagation and minimizes the width of cracks, resulting in enhancement of the structure’s strength and durability is of utmost interest. However, the fast, easy, and reliable characterization of this property […]

This project investigates the deployment and operation of automated speed enforcement (ASE) as an emerging enforcement technology in the City of Vaughan, which uses cameras to detect speeding at select locations. The complexities of deployment lie in choosing camera locations with the highest deterrence impact on speeding and the periodic relocation of the cameras, which […]

The MoveSmart Mobility Management Strategy seeks to direct the City of Vaughan’s vision to provide a transportation system that is safe, efficient, and sustainable. This study’s primary goal is to review the data sources available to the City of Vaughan and assess the future data needs that will promote the MoveSmart goals. The objectives are […]

This research project will provide an original historical overview of the connections between metal and mineral mining, metal and mineral mining chemical production, material transport via road and railway infrastructure, and Indigenous jurisdiction, in the Northern Great Lakes bioregion of Ontario, Canada. The intention of this project is to use a historical perspective gleaned through […]

We-Watch is a for-profit, social enterprise that has created a mobile platform to report public safety incidents and collect evidence on these incidents from users near the location of the incident. We-Watch has partnered with West Queen West BIA, Downtown Toronto to conduct its first pilot project for their mobile application. During this pilot, the […]

TAS has set an ambitious goal of reaching net zero by 2045 with one ground up development and one repositioning asset to be net zero by 2030. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside our project delivery team supporting, innovating, and strategizing pathways for TAS to reach our Net Zero impact goals across the […]

There is an urgent need to dismantle the structural barriers that reduce higher education (HE) access for multiply marginalized deaf adults and advance community-led transformations. Towards these aims this project asks: What would HE designed by/for/with multiply marginalized deaf learners and communities look like and how can we develop or build it? Using a community-based […]

The female body goes through various hormonal changes at each phase of the menstrual cycle every month. These hormonal changes result in detectable biophysical changes, such as skin temperature variations. Moreover, the chances of pregnancy are noticeably higher during the ovulation phase which is a 4-5 days window. Our product, will have sensors inside it […]

The adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning systems in support of business operations makes organizations dependent on software tools that evolve nowadays with the fast pace. This requires testing the software to ensure that processes are implemented correctly. Automated test case management including selection of an appropriate script, its execution, and tracking the results improves significantly […]

This project entails a partnership with the Pixelles, a nonprofit organization that has been a leader in increasing the participation of women and other marginalized people in the Canadian games industry. This research will provide insight into how to evaluate the short-, medium-, and long-term impact of community organizing for inclusion in exclusionary industries through […]

The proposed research project involves developing machine learning models to predict the mechanical properties of polymer composites. The interns will collect and preprocess data from various sources including open-source databases and conducting extensive experimental tests, build artificial neural network (ANN) models using advanced algorithms, and validate the accuracy of these models using test data. The […]

Much of the world’s high-quality data remains under lock in relational databases. Access is gained through relational query languages. This can suffice for people who are well versed in both SQL and in the schemas of databases. However, anyone who does not know SQL or who is not well versed in the schema is effectively […]
