Ryzome Environmental Corporation is transforming the way farms and greenhouses feed their crops. By recovering powerful nutrients and minerals from local waste streams, Ryzome is building a new generation of regenerative, greenhouse-ready fertilizers that help growers boost yields, strengthen plant health, and improve nutrient density. These products support healthier soils, reduce pest and disease pressure, […]

Xello is a leading college and career readiness platform designed to engage K-12 students in career exploration, academic planning, and skills development. It provides educators with data-driven insights to support student success, helping school districts make informed decisions. Xello is looking to enhance its survey platform to improve their means of data collection, enhance the […]

E-Smart commercialise une solution innovante qui offre aux gestionnaires un moyen automatisé d’assurer la conformité aux limites de vitesse, sans qu’ils aient à surveiller les camionneurs. Une interface placée à la commande d’accélération contrôle activement la vitesse du camion en temps réel, en se basant sur la cartographie des limites de vitesse. Toutefois, lorsque la […]

This project aims to develop new machine learning models that can help wind energy companies design wind farms more efficiently and at lower cost. Today, planning a wind farm requires running large, high-resolution computer simulations to understand how wind flows around turbines and how much power a proposed layout can produce. These simulations are accurate […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in Canada to help make decisions and to deliver public services, but research shows that AI systems can unintentionally reinforce social inequalities, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes for minority groups. Biases can appear when AI systems are trained on incomplete or skewed datasets, when development teams lack diverse […]

This community-based research project, undertaken through the U of T Climate Hub Catalyst Internship, partners with the Toronto Chinatown Land Trust (TCLT)-a community-controlled effort to build an inclusive, culturally competent, and ever-evolving Chinatown in Toronto. TCLT acquires, develops, and stewards land in perpetuity for community needs and benefit. Operating with the understanding that Chinatown exists […]

The proposed project aims to establish a technical and scientific foundation for integrating KETTI’s innovative wind turbines into the Microgrid Research and Testing Facility at the University of Regina (UofR). The research involves three complementary subprojects: 1. Feasibility and Engineering Requirements Study — defining the integration framework, electrical and mechanical interfacing, and environmental conditions necessary […]

The proposed research focuses on improving road safety by studying how drivers react when encountering pedestrians in mixed traffic conditions. While most existing studies emphasize pedestrian behavior, little is known about how drivers respond in these situations. To address this gap, the project will use a driving simulator that replicates a real 5.5 km road […]

Le “digital free tourism” (tourisme déconnecté ou déconnexion numérique en milieu touristique) désigne une forme de tourisme où les personnes voyageuses peuvent se déconnecter des technologies numériques (téléphones intelligents, médias sociaux, etc.) pendant leur séjour. Certains travaux récents questionnent cependant les limites du tourisme déconnecté, en soulignant par exemple le stress vécu à la suite […]

This project will explore how eye movements can be used to improve assistive Augmented Reality (AR) devices for people with motor impairments. Many AR systems rely on head, hand, or body movements to make choices, but this is not always possible for individuals with limited mobility. However, eye movement is often preserved, making it a […]

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as back pain and arthritis affect millions of Canadians and place a heavy burden on the healthcare system. Every year, thousands of new research studies are published on MSK health, but the sheer volume makes it hard for organizations to keep track of the latest findings. This project will explore how […]

This project will create a realistic virtual greenhouse where robots can practice picking and pruning. It improves plant physics (bending, fruit detachment), models cameras and depth sensors to produce training data, generates many varied greenhouse scenes, and links simulated robots to Kinova’s control software for end-to-end testing. The result: faster, cheaper R&D, fewer risky field […]
