Although wheat is one of the world’s most important food products and the largest field crop in Canada, there is still huge potential to boost wheat production in the Atlantic provinces. Ideally, Atlantic Canada could become an example of how to produce wheat in innovative and sustainable ways. However, modern breeding has left us with […]

The project will aim to develop special meals for older adults living in long-term care facilities in partnership with Shannex nursing homes. One of the challenges related to long-term care facilities is the nutrition of older adults with dementia that is often accompanied with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The student will develop tasty food products that […]

Ce projet vise à anticiper l’impact des changements climatiques sur la performance des plantations de peupliers en Estrie et à soutenir des décisions de gestion plus résilientes. Les peupliers offrent des rendements supérieurs aux autres essences commerciales tout en présentant une grande variabilité génétique, ce qui permet de sélectionner des génotypes mieux adaptés aux conditions […]

This project studies the vISA, and associated compilation pipeline for quantum hardware architecture, working to improve its feature set and efficiency. It will also investigate hardware constraints such as qubit connectivity, by studying qubit mapping and routing across the memory and compute regions.

The Civic Innovation Lab Society was co-founded in 2022 by the City of Burnaby and Simon Fraser University to serve as a long-term accelerator of Burnaby-focused research and community engagement. The Lab’s mandate is to advance education through the provision of collaborative learning and research opportunities and to contribute to the economic, social and environmental […]

Over the past decade, researchers and practitioners have explored the potential of audio recording for precision beekeeping. Most of the research focused on in – hive sensors and real – time detection of critical events, such as swarming, queen state or hive strength. However, adoption of such sensors is difficult in a low margin industry […]

This project will develop an open-source tool to improve access to information about Canadian defence exports and support a clearer understanding of Canada’s role in the global arms trade. Currently, data on Canadian defence exports is spread across multiple sources and can be difficult to verify or analyze. The project will create an automated system […]

De nombreuses personnes vivent des difficultés liées à leur santé mentale sans avoir accès rapidement à du soutien. SafeSpace est une application mobile qui offre des groupes de soutien en ligne, animés par des personnes formées, dans un cadre sécuritaire, anonyme et non clinique. Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre comment ces groupes […]

This project will explore Canada’s record when it comes to its obligations under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights over the past five decades, and what reforms could be implemented to strengthen accountability for the next fifty years.

Tiptree builds AI research assistants for ML scientists. These agents help users discover relevant prior work, validate claims, assemble evidence with citations, and produce high-trust research artifacts (e.g., literature reviews, benchmark comparisons, technical memos). A core bottleneck in deploying research agents is evaluation: unlike standard software, agent behavior is nondeterministic, multi-step, and tool-dependent, and failures […]

This project will help the Trauma-Focused Therapy Program (TFTP) at the Jewish General Hospital better understand who is accessing its specialized services for complex trauma and how patients’ symptoms change over the course of treatment. Complex trauma, which is often linked to repeated childhood maltreatment, can lead to serious mental health, physical health, and psychosocial […]

This application to MITACS supports interns working with community in an innovative mobile media arts research lab. The Community Mobile Media Lab (CMML) is a purpose-designed mobile media production hub, which will house film production equipment that can be situated temporarily in communities we are collaborating with to explore innovative models of co-creation, training and […]
