Intelligent health-conscious battery management system (BMS) and advanced battery thermal management systems (BTMS) are essential to improve performance of energy utilization, safety, and cycle-life. Improvement in the energetic performance on all these levels encourages integration and development within the full thermal installation. This project will look at Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)-based intelligent state estimators […]

In Canada, the transportation sector accounts for 25% of all emissions. Hydrogen fueled vehicles is one option that has a great potential to reduce Canadian and global CO2 fuel emissions. This research project investigates production parameters that influence hydrogen storage capacity in storage materials in order to optimize the production process and increase the hydrogen […]

1000s of Ontarians engage with their local government every year through Advisory Committees of Council (ACOCs). The committees address a wide range of topics, including accessibility, transit, heritage, and the arts. Residents often serve on these committees for a more than a year. The goal of this research is to develop a framework to support […]

The research project has the objective to evaluate how tool wear, adhesive type and adhesive application impact the manufacturability and bonding performance of finger-jointed (FJ) Douglas-fir lamellas. These will be assessed by measuring the mechanical properties, characterizing the surface quality and determining the initial friction. The experimental design will be conducted in both industrial (FJ […]

Native Child and Family Services of Toronto (NCFST) must reflect the holistic Indigenous worldview so that we better reflect what we are supposed to be: a thriving and growing Indigenous multi-service urban agency. We need to align the decision-making principles and processes with historical and traditional forms of governance from the region in which we […]

This research project aims to develop a secure and user-friendly database system for sensitive Indigenous data using blockchain technology. The project will explore how this innovative technology can enhance data security, privacy, and control for Indigenous Nations, while adhering to OCAP (ownership, control, access, possession) principles. The intern(s) will engage with stakeholders, assess the feasibility […]

En partenariat avec le laboratoire en aquaponie de la compagnie ÉAU (Écosystèmes Alimentaires Urbains), le projet vise à développer des outils d’optimisation mathématique permettant de minimiser les coûts financiers et environnementaux de fonctionnement tout en assurant la résilience du système en prenant en compte les diverses contraintes présentes. Le stage considère la modélisation mathématique des […]

Breast cancer is the most common cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) in 109 countries including Canada. Approximately 70% of the breast cancer surgeries are breast-conserving lumpectomy procedures. Histopathology analysis typically require 2-4 days, resulting in the need for a second surgery if a margin is positive. Perimeter Medical is developing advanced Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) […]

The research hopes to improve the ways that institutions and organizations in Canada can support Indigenous literature, through a comparison of initiatives in Canada and Australia designed for Indigenous creatives in the publishing industry. The project involves two phases. First, initiatives on websites of publishing institutions/organizations in Canada and Australia will be recorded to create […]

Ce projet vise à mettre à mettre en valeur, au moyen de développement d’outils de transfert et de valorisation des connaissances, des cahiers développés dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche qui s’adresse aux intervenants et qui visent à optimiser l’utilisation des technologies mobiles existantes en soutien à l’autonomie résidentielle des personnes autistes. Ces outils […]

Cette recherche porte sur l’implantation d’un système de consigne et réutilisation de contenant pour emporter auprès des commerçants de la Ville de Prévost. Elle a pour but de concevoir une méthode pour changer des comportements/habitudes visant le zéro déchet par des approches et outils innovants comme la cocréation et le travail de collaboration entre différentes […]

Urban stormwater ponds present an opportunity for aquatic biodiversity conservation within cities. However, stormwater ponds receive city runoff and other effects of urbanization, which may mean that only certain species can live in them. A landscape-scale comparison of urban and rural pond biodiversity has not been performed in Canada. We will sample aquatic insect biodiversity […]
