After the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada have focused on entrepreneurship to create jobs and stimulate growth across its various regions but is yet to bring many underrepresented groups into this vision. Black Canadians, among others, face unique and significant barriers to entrepreneurship, especially with handling finances. They already suffer many socio-economic disadvantages tied to racism. The […]

The ultimate objective of this project is to design and develop a signal/noise analyzer to improve the reliability and efficiency of EM-based measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tool within various strata formation under high temperature, deep drilling environment. In order to analyze the received signal contaminated by surface and underground noise, it is essential to understand the electrical […]

CHAH’s mission is to revolutionize healthcare by enabling personalized, proactive home care. Using AI and sensor technology, CHAH transforms homes into intelligent health monitoring environments, tracking physiological and behavioral indicators to detect early health risks and enable timely intervention. Its flagship initiatives include AI-driven predictive healthcare models, real-time sensor fusion, and secure platforms for seamless […]

Initial studies on the Kisameet Bay Clay Deposit by Dr. Ernest Hauser of MIT in the early 1950’s showed the unique properties of this clay deposit. To build on this early research and make clear a distinction between Kisolite and other clay’s on the market, we have chosen to invest in modern research. As such, […]

When students use mobile devices in a classroom, teachers cannot easily know if students are actively engaged in group activities or if they are distracted. For example, a student may be observing the activities of others rather than contributing to group workspace. Even though students are in close proximity, they can be too focused on […]

Comprehensive Healthcare at Home (CHAH Technology) is dedicated to transforming home-based healthcare using AI and sensor technologies. The partner organization aims to address the critical challenge of delivering high-quality, affordable care to aging populations in Canada, where rising healthcare costs and system inefficiencies are threatening sustainability. Through this project, CHAH will develop the CHAH Intelligent […]

This project builds on the intern’s successful Mitacs Elevate fellowship employing methodologies of participatory action research and arts-based research to support, amplify and translate arts advocacies by emerging racialized and gender diverse artists. Knowledge products arising from the internship include a documentary film showcasing the work and activism of eight young socially-engaged artists, and a […]

This research project will systematically compare different design alternatives for a data store module that is tuned for concurrent accesses by multiple independent threads in a program. The particular access pattern is modelled after the specifics of automated securities trading programs implemented in Java. Based on a systematic evaluation, a prototype implementation will be developed […]

Despite many recent advances in biotechnology, the methods for monitoring water quality remain largely unchanged for the past century. We will use next-generation DNA sequencing technology to guide the design of novel DNA-based tests to improve sensitivity and specificity of water quality testing. There are two challenges which will be addressed by the intern: DNA […]
