Natural fibres have been used in many industry sectors such as automobiles, aerospace, construction, etc., but their use in the biomedical industry is relatively new. The major obstacle to their use is the lack of information on relevant fibre properties. This project focuses on testing three critical properties: antimicrobial properties, antioxidant properties, and water sorption […]

This Mitacs internship program is targeted to recruit a top mechanical engineering student to research and design a state-of-the-art braking system for the Greenheart’s high-speed ziplines. The intern will conduct literature review of different braking systems used in the zipline industry and develop robust numerical models to examine the performance of existing designs. Using the […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Synaptive Medical Inc together with researchers at Western University, are developing a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) platform customizersd for clinical neuroimaging. This proposal is to fund a range of student and post-doctoral training activities associated with the development and testing of this new system. The program will also support the development and testing of […]

The proposed project is to research the steps needed to take in order to build and sustain an accelerator/incubator in the health care sector, which will provide core processes and steps to the partner organization. The following steps would be undertaken: o Analysis of other successful incubators/accelerators in the health care space. o Partnership wish […]

Post and beam safety barriers are common on Canadian highway bridges. The post anchorage refers to the region of bridge deck and curb to which the post is connected. The anchorage must be strong enough to resist crash loads on the barrier, which generate large tension forces within the anchorage. Typical barrier post anchorages have […]

The purpose of this 20-week study is two-fold. First, assess two comprehensive self-care programs on employee and organizational outcomes. Second, explore the self-care phenomenon. A single financial services organization will participate in the study. Financial consultants will be randomly assigned by office location into three groups. Group #1 will attend a comprehensive self-care program called […]

Le projet porte sur le développement et l’adaptation d’un modèle d’apprentissage profond existant afin de prévoir de façon automatique à partir de cartes de prévisions météorologiques à haute résolution la probabilité d’occurrence de rampes de puissance éolienne. Ces événements soudains de changement rapide de la production éolienne, difficiles à prévoir, peuvent avoir des impacts significatifs […]

Given the global challenge of greenhouse gas emissions, capturing and converting these gases into valuable carbon-based products, such as carbon nanofiber (CNF), offers a sustainable solution. This is the primary goal of this project’s industry partner, Carbonova Corp, by utilizing greenhouse gas feedstocks and turning them into a valuable CNF. During the production of CNF, […]

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) present a significant challenge to organizations due to their sophisticated, stealthy, and persistent nature. Traditional reactive security measures often do not detect these threats in real-time, leaving systems vulnerable to long-term exploitation. This research project will explore how to automate threat hunting to proactively identify APTs in real time, reducing manual […]

The University of Toronto Schools (UTS), through the Eureka Research Institute, is committed to advancing data-driven decision-making in K-12 education. This aligns with the growing recognition of the importance of data literacy in education, where students and teachers need to “read the world with data” and “write the world with data” (Louie, 2022). Recent research […]

The partner organization, D.I. Self-Composite (DISC) Alloys Inc., specializes in large-format additive manufacturing for metals, with a particular focus on propulsion systems and aerospace applications. Leveraging advanced Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) technology, DISC Alloys has the capability to deposit multiple metals with precision and achieve high deposition rates (20 kg/h), enabling the production of […]
