Indigenous youth may face a number of barriers to accessing sexual health services due to accessibility and stigma. This study seeks to identify intersectional barriers that Indigenous youth may face when accessing sexual health services. This study will be done with mixed methods through statistical analysis and Indigenous community co-designed interviews.

LegacyX is a software development firm currently transitioning from a consulting focus to a software as a service vendor, specializing in Unions. LegacyX aims to give users the choice of a range of data science tools and generate statistical analytic outcome that will allow end users gain access to the insights provided around their Union […]

This research project will examine how precarious work conditions (e.g., casual, temporary, contract-based, and normally poorly paid work) impact women workers, particularly those who are historically marginalized, including racialized women, Indigenous women, women with disabilities, and GLBTTQ women. It will also examine the impacts of precarious employment on women as users of public programs and […]

To guarantee progress and adherence to the Dreven platform the company must solve a major issue to which no traditional solutions tested have provided reliable and efficient answers. This issue is linked to the complexity and diversity of information exchanges that Dreeven must use for different reasons. To be efficient, the Dreeven platform must be […]

Students learning within challenging contexts often feel disempowered and may not see the relevance of their learning. The proposed research project will assess the extent to which an educational experience that enhances coding skills while also exercising students’ core “skills of success” increases their feelings of empowerment. This assessment will take place within a number […]

This project aims to develop lignocellulosic nanomaterials from Canada’s rich forest fibers for packaging applications. With the banning of single use plastic, more and more paper-based packaging products are developed. However, most of the paper-based packaging products do not have satisfied water-resistant performance. To enhance such performance, lamination using plastic or coating with toxic coating […]

Wildfires are naturally occurring phenomena that are necessary for the health of boreal forests. However, fires can cause infrastructural damage and loss of life if they spread into places where people, towns, and other assets are at risk. Due to the impact of wildfires on society, attempts have been undertaken to assess wildfire potential, spread, […]

Effective monitoring is an important component in safety and security related applications. Equipment failure, trespassing, theft and vandalism are all regular occurrences that the companies must deal with. These kinds of problems emphasize the importance of designing a state-of-the-art system for monitoring. In this project a system will be devised and trained to detect different […]

For many whales, we still know little of where they occur and even what species exist. This is true for an elusive group of whales known as beaked whales. One method to study these deep-diving, offshore animals is acoustic recordings. Each beaked whale species is thought to produce a unique sound, called a click. Many […]

De récents changements d’orientation dans la recherche et le développement de la robotique ont conduit au développement de robots collaboratifs sûrs et intuitifs. Pourtant, ces robots sont généralement confinés aux tâches d’automatisation traditionnelles et travaillent en mode non collaboratif. Ce projet de recherche vise à étendre les capacités des robots collaboratifs au-delà des applications d’automatisation […]

The main objective of this research is to assess the feasibility of high-power microwave assisted comminution of kimberlite ores. The idea is that high-power treatment for a short time will yield microfractures and result in a reduction in the production of fine particles, therefore improving dense media separation. This study will involve material characterization studies […]

L’objectif général de cette recherche est de mieux saisir la contribution de l’action publique locale et régionale au développement de la région des Laurentides. À partir de trois sous-projets, 1) le rôle du PAGIEPS comme levier de la lutte à la pauvreté et en faveur de l’inclusion sociale dans les Laurentides, 2) les fonds régionaux […]
