Hip fractures exert a profound toll on the independence and quality of life of older people, and over 95% are due to falls. Over 2000 hip fractures occur annually in hospitals in Canada. Wearable hip protectors are a promising method for preventing hip fractures, but patient compliance in wearing traditional garment-based hip protectors averages below […]

The goal of this project is to develop a faster and more accurate way to detect ventricular tachycardia using an algorithm to analyze the signal results from Paced Electrogram Fractionation Analysis (PEFA); ideally real time through use of a basket catheter. St Jude Medical, our research partner, creates medical hardware specifically geared towards detecting and […]

In the airline industry, crew planning is an essential task that every airline will face. Flight crew expenses constitute the second largest operating cost (Kohl and Karisch. 2004), second only to the rising cost of fuel. Crew planning refers to the assignment of flight segments to pilots and flight attendants so that they start and […]

Les verres d’oxydes occupent présentement une place considérable dans tous les secteurs industriels. L’intérêt majeur de ces verres réside dans leur large éventail de propriétés grâce à la possibilité de créer des objets personnalisés pour répondre aux demandes d’une application particulière. De ce fait, l’innovation est essentielle pour découvrir des nouveaux verres qui peuvent être […]

This research project will apply a theoretical analysis of social space in rural areas in Nova Scotia in order to examine how municipalities design space, and how citizens interact with and within it. Much of the existing literature in the field focuses on social space in urban areas, like populated downtown areas of cities. This […]

Ce projet compte étudier comment les technologies quantiques peuvent renforcer la souveraineté numérique du Québec. Il ambitionne aussi de créer une feuille de route stratégique pour asseoir durablement celle-ci. Dans un contexte de forte dépendance aux technologies américaines et de guerre tarifaire menée par le gouvernement des États-Unis, cette recherche s’inscrit dans la volonté de […]

When engineers verify software products they need at the same time some guidance as to verification objectives and an idea of when it is reasonable to stop the verification activity. One such guidance comes under the form of criteria which are predominantly functional (typically, one exercises the software in ways it is expected to be […]

Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre comment les tensions géopolitiques et les politiques commerciales, comme les droits de douane imposés par certains pays, influencent le commerce mondial de l’aluminium. L’accent sera mis sur les répercussions de ces mesures sur le secteur de l’aluminium primaire canadien, un secteur stratégique pour l’économie, l’environnement et la sécurité des […]

This project will analyze Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM) occupancy patterns and player behavior using anonymous spin-level data to optimize machine usage and support data-driven decision-making. By examining how players select machines based on availability, time of day, and traffic conditions, the research will generate actionable insights for International Game Technology (IGT) and its casino partners. […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à dresser un portrait rigoureux de la cybersécurité au sein des organisations québécoises, en analysant des données de Statistique Canada (2019–2023). Il se distingue par l’étude de l’impact de la Loi 25, en vigueur depuis 2023, sur les pratiques organisationnelles en matière de cybersécurité et de protection des données. En […]

This project will establish a commercially viable, regenerative biomaterial-based method for effective, reduced-cost and clinically feasible culture of immune cells for immune cell therapies. Argan Biomedical Technologies inc, partnering with the Sefton lab at UofT, has developed technology that uses regenerative synthetic biomaterials to reduce the use of expensive and otherwise problematic biological components used […]
