Bitcoin! Ethereum! Cryptocurrency! Blockchain! In the past years, these words made headline news globally. The promise of blockchain, or decentralized ledger-based technologies, has electrified the world and created an excitement for technology that was last seen in the 1990s when the internet was entering mainstream. The core premise of the technology is that blockchains are […]

Naturia Technologies Inc. is a Canadian biotechnology company start-up founded in 2021 with the aim of developing biological innovations for tackling modern medical and environmental challenges. The interests of the company are divided into three main axes: Agri-food; Biopharmaceuticals; and Bioenergy. The company is currently focusing on the Agri-food axis and this project is part […]

Un client est soumis à plusieurs facteurs (notoriété de la marque, marketing numérique et marketing relationnel) simultanément. Dans ce projet de recherche, on vise de préciser l’apport de chacun de ces points de contacts, de la détention actuelle de produit au sein de l’entreprise ainsi que l’importance des différents types de canaux sur une vente […]

This project intends to use Canada’s rich forest fiber resources for the development of strong structural products, and improve the performance of cellulose-based products. Such high-performance cellulose-based products will be realized by binding 3D printed cellulose using the partner organization (National Silicates)’s sodium/potassium silicates products. The partner will also benefit significantly from this project as […]

Cette recherche a pour objectif d’améliorer les connaissances entourant le potentiel énergétique des mines à ciel ouvert abandonnées et inondées. Les mécanismes de transfert de chaleur susceptibles d’affecter la performance des systèmes géothermique seront étudiés. La ressource géothermique de basse température permet non seulement aux utilisateurs de bénéficier de retombées économiques, mais aussi de réduire […]

Genetic diseases are a significant health and economic burden worldwide. Treatments for the majority of these diseases remain limited or nonexistent. One treatment approach is directly editing the DNA mutations that cause the diseases. However, getting DNA editors into specific areas and cells in the body can be quite difficult. This project looks at using […]

There is an urgent need to dismantle the structural barriers that reduce higher education (HE) access for multiply marginalized deaf adults and advance community-led transformations. Towards these aims this project asks: What would HE designed by/for/with multiply marginalized deaf learners and communities look like and how can we develop or build it? Using a community-based […]

Building design is complex and challenging and the unique nature of each project limits the ability to automate design tasks. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is commonly to manage building design and collaboration between teams and there is a plug-in (“Dynamo”) that supports task automation. The partner organization has developed several ad-hoc BIM automation scripts, but […]

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere in our modern world. They are used in many applications, including portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. The current methods for manufacturing the electrodes in these batteries involve the use of solvents, which can be hazardous and which require significant energy to dry off. This project will focus on studying polymers […]

La barre russe est une discipline de cirque dans laquelle deux porteurs au sol portent une barre, tandis qu’un voltigeur debout sur la barre se propulse dans les airs. Le port de la barre sur une épaule génère une charge asymétrique sur le dos des porteurs et présente donc un risque de blessure au dos. […]

The current Sun Life anomaly detection methods are based on human inspection. The method is labour intensive and only a relatively small number of cases can be reviewed. There is no guarantee that the most suspicious interactions are in fact being sampled and reviewed. In this project we will focus on the develop of novel […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is increasingly prevalent, affecting ~170 per 100,000 Canadians annually. Currently, there is no cure for PD, warranting the investigation of potential new therapeutics. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a low-level light therapy that has been proposed as an alternative treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD. However, there is a lack of data regarding […]
