In recent years, there has been a surge in non-profit organisations providing free online resources aiming to inspire girls to ‘get into STEM’ in Canada. Resources include instructional videos, blog posts and ‘role model’ biographies of women working in STEM. To maximise the potential of these online educational resources, research is urgently needed to better […]

This project will be completed in partnership with Pine River Institute, a residential and wilderness treatment centre in Ontario for youths aged 13 – 19. I plan to investigate if/how Pine River Institute is able to help substance-addicted youth achieve the core developmental tasks of adolescence, including developing a healthy sense of self and healthy […]

Executive functions are a collection of higher-level cognitive abilities that support decision making, planning, attentional focus, and error correction. Mental slowing, inefficiency, and feeling blue are – to some degree – expected with any serious illness. Goal Management TrainingTM (GMT) is a made-in-Ontario healthcare innovation, developed by researchers at Baycrest, a Toronto-based academic health science […]

The recent unregulated growth of short-term rental (STR) platforms such as Airbnb have increasingly affected both tourism and housing affordability in main urban centers. FairbnbTO mobilizes STR platform technology to help housing affordability and sustainable tourism in the neighbourhood. FairbnbTO is an evidence-based research project that aims to reinstate the social benefits of STR platforms […]

Photodetectors are one of the fundamental elements of optoelectronic circuits. Phototransistors produce current both by absorbing light and also taking advantage of the gate electrode to increase gain. Solution-processed electronics has many advantages, including low-cost and low-temperature fabrication. In thin-film transistors (TFTs), the channel can be made with carbon-based semiconductors such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). […]

Effective wastewater treatment is essential to the health of the environment. When operating wastewater treatment plants, utilities must ensure that the treated water meets environmental regulations, while balancing competing needs to minimize the cost of running the plant against the maximizing resource recovery. Additionally, most wastewater treatment plants include a combination of physical, chemical, and […]

With the rise of e-commerce, consumer demands for parcel delivery have changed. COVID-19 further fueled this demand due to restrictions and people’s preferences for fewer interactions. With the increase in consumers’ delivery demands, the cost and complexity of meeting those parcel-delivery demands have been increased as well. There have been many disruptions to solve this […]

Today, small satellites are launched in large constellations like Starlink and Globalstar for space-based services, such as communications and weather monitoring. This rapid growth in space objects has become a real threat for space operation. In response to this issue of the growing population of space objects, Magellan is developing technologies to provide extensive and […]

The BIPOC Leadership Energies (BLE) project will create a strategy for generating leadership networks and career advancement pathways for emerging female-identified and/or non-binary BIPOC leaders. The framework will outline goals, structure, resources and implementation steps to build and sustain multi-year inter-organizational coaching networks for BIPOC staff. BLE is a collaboration between 5 community service agencies. […]

The goal of this project is to enhance the safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs) by elevating our knowledge of equitable changes to the built environment (BE). It includes three sub-projects: 1) prioritizes the knowledge of public health professionals and their experiences making BE changes to enhance VRUs’ safety; 2) will evaluate a road safety […]

High performance bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using a hand-layup process. Due to the manual nature of this manufacture method, defects such as voids, fiber misalignment, or resin rich/resin poor regions can occur. Micro-computed tomography is an X-ray based measurement method that is […]
