Building deaf-centered, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive higher education using deaf community co-design

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 […]

Monitoring Volume changes and IgA protein in complex biological mixture of vaginal discharge as a real-time ovulation detection

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 […]

Multi-material 3D printing with FFF and SLA

We propose a solution to achieve a strong interfacial connection between FFF-printed materials and SLA-printed materials by utilizing an ester exchange reaction. Common FFF materials such as PETG and PLA contain an ester structure that can undergo ester exchange reactions with other alcohols in the presence of a strong base such as Triazabicyclodecene (TBD) and […]

Acceptance and Commitment Training with Autistic Youth and Young Adults

Autistic youth and adults often experience a drop-off in supports as they transition to adulthood, especially in evidence-based interventions that support their mental health and wellbeing. Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) is an evidence-based therapy based on mindfulness and behavioural principles that has preliminary support to improve the wellbeing of autistic people. The present project […]
