Rapid growth of cryptocurrencies has drawn the attention of practitioners, regulators, and scholars. The trading venues for these digital assets display a number of features that make them a sui generis laboratory for studying price formation and market efficiency. One notable feature of cryptocurrency is high and strongly time-varying yields, whether measured by APRs offered […]

This purpose of this research project is it implement creative access affordances at Centre CLARK, an artist-run gallery in Montreal’s Mile End Neighbourhood, to increase the participation of visitors with various disabilities and access needs. Divided into four sub-projects, this research will use interviews, access audits and participatory workshops to find creative solutions to access […]

Downsview Open-source Asset Manager (DOsAM) is a research collaboration between the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) and Northcrest Developments. The objective of the project is to develop an online, opensource asset information modelling and public engagement tool to facilitate democratized urban development.

Public art brings numerous economic and socio-cultural benefits to main street communities, however, it can be challenging for communities to effectively measure these impacts. Therefore, this research project involves the development of a toolkit of instruments to be used within main street communities to aid in measuring the impact of public art. This will involve […]

City parks and outdoor recreational opportunities are among Toronto’s most valued resources. The Discovery Walks Program has been one of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation’s flagship outreach efforts to engage residents and tourists alike in learning about culturally and environmentally significant areas across the city. The purpose of this project is to develop and implement […]

Deep reinforcement learning has achieved great successes in recent years. One of the primary challenges faced by such methods is the high cost involved in training a system that demonstrates the desired competency and performance. This project aims to study and compare the available techniques for improving the training efficiency and effectiveness of reinforcement learning […]

Vector potentiator (VEPOs) are compounds that can enhance the ability of cancer-killing viruses to replicate and kill cancer cells. However, administering these compounds can be problematic as they are inherently toxic. To remedy this problem, we will link these compounds to a highly specific antibody, Trastuzumab, forming a new antibody-drug conjugate compound, T-VEPO. By means […]

Solid State of Mind uses automatic methods to adjust the details of the architectures and learning methods (i.e., hyperparameters) for some of its algorithms. However, this process is often slow and costly in terms of resources and energy. Through this internship proposal, Solid State of Mind wishes to study the possibility of accelerating the automatic […]

Newborn calves need to ingest maternal colostrum, which is rich in immunoglobulin G (IgG) content, to help them develop their naïve immune system. This requires calves to ingest high masses of IgG, generally above 100 g in the first hours of life. In addition to feeding high IgG masses to newborn calves, research suggests that […]

In the framework of this project, it is aimed to develop a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Since its pathology is complex, application of the conventional antibiotics is not much efficient therefore it is defined as a difficult-to-treat disease. To overcome those challenges encountered in the usage of conventional therapeutic approaches, […]

The project involves the investigation of perovskite solar cells fabrication for indoor and outdoor applications based on a method that can be used for industrial production. The intern will first study the optimization of perovskite solar cells by choosing the appropriate hole transport layer for the device stack provided by Rayleigh. This device architecture can […]

For the joining of different materials, various processes are available in the industry such as riveting, shrink fitting or welding. Welding is the preferred joining method especially for high temperature and high-pressure applications such as pressure vessels and aircraft structures. In recent times, the number of potential applications and usage of welding is also increasing […]
