The purpose of this research is to develop improved diagnostic and treatment tools for prostate cancer in humans through the use of a canine (dog) model and a synchrotron-based x-ray source for imaging and therapy at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). Novel techniques in synchrotron x-ray imaging, specifically in-line phase contrast CT (PC-CT), will be […]

Machine Learning (ML)-based software quickly becomes complex due to being developed by multiple teams using different programming languages, with documentation stored in various locations. This complexity introduces communication and collaboration challenges, specially due to the fact that Co-operators Business Intelligence department manages over 1,150 assets, which includes ML models, APIs, databases, and more. The current […]

The project will develop a multifunctional and sustainable hybrid thermoplastic composite reinforced with asphaltene-based short carbon fibres (CF) and continuous natural fibres. The fibre-matrix interface of the hybrid material will be characterized through tensile and fracture toughness tests and its multifunctionality in terms of enhanced electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding will also be […]

The transition to sustainable energy has heightened the demand for advanced power conversion technologies, crucial for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly in Canada, where the transportation sector is a major contributor. Canada aims to achieve 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2040, but current projections suggest only 48% of the target will be met, largely […]

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are of great to concern to fisheries managers and those who enjoy fisheries resources, such as anglers. In Nova Scotia, small mouth bass were introduced in the 1940s by provincial fisheries managers in the hopes of creating recreational fishing opportunities. These fish are efficient predators that predate upon and outcompete native […]

The feasibility of blending hydrogen into its natural gas infrastructure to support global decarbonization efforts is currently being explored in Canada. With hydrogen emerging as a clean energy alternative, this project aims to integrate hydrogen into Energir’s gas infrastructure while addressing challenges related to material compatibility and safety. The study involves laboratory experiments to assess […]

The role of this internship is to assist in reaching the SSHRC goal for the Dreamcatcher system of capturing cultural data, traditional ecological knowledge, and traditional land use in order to create as full of a historical, cultural, and economic record as is possible as well as strong land use management/consultation, water management, asset management, […]

L’originalité de cette recherche participative intersectorielle est qu’elle vise à mieux comprendre les besoins et les réalités plurielles des personnes autistes québécoises vieillissantes (50 ans et plus). Elle permettra ainsi de combler un besoin crucial identifié par la Fédération Québécoise de l’autisme, soit celui de développer une meilleure connaissance des caractéristiques de ces personnes. À […]

The Parkdale Food Centre, a non-profit organization in Ottawa, provides social community programs and services that aim at inspiring and empowering individuals to address the root causes of food insecurity. Programs include a community kitchen, catchment-based grocery program, youth-run social enterprise and employment training program. The Centre seeks support in re-designing the existing Mino’Weesini Grocery […]

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

Research Question: How can we optimize the processes of data collection, annotation, and model training to develop a robust and generalizable AI system that maintains high performance across diverse scenarios?

Le système agricole industriel est insoutenable, tant sur le plan social qu’écologique. Pour étudier des modèles agricoles alternatifs, nous étudierons les apports et les limites de l’agroécologie via le projet pilote de ferme soutenue par la communauté des Bontés de la Vallée, situé au Québec. Cette ferme innovante est portée par des producteurs maraîchers engagés […]
