This project explores the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on racialized women in the workforce in Ontario. As groups overrepresented in poverty rates, unemployment rates, and low-waged and precarious work prior to the pandemic, racialized women are more likely to experience poor or negative mental health and wellbeing during the pandemic. Despite being one of […]

Retrofitting the existing building stock is a key field of action for architecture to move towards a sustainable future. This research proposal focuses on developing data collection digital workflows and communication protocols between different design and machine software for timber fabrication in an onsite / near-site condition enabled by a Factory in a Box (FIAB). […]

Le développement rapide des technologies de l’information et des capteurs au cours des dernières années a eu un essor de plus en plus important dans le secteur automobile afin de rendre la conduite plus sécuritaire. Les systèmes de sécurité active en milieu automobile visent à éviter les collisions plutôt que de mitiger leur impact sur […]

Marine mammals are some of the most contaminated animals in the world. Pollutants work their way up the food chain and cause a number of health issues in predator species like killer whales. This is because any pollution present in their food is passed on to them which continues to increase over their lifespan as […]

COVID-19 is an unprecedented public health emergency affecting every industry. As we wait to develop treatments and vaccines to protect individuals from COVID-19, we must develop strategies to protect workers in Canada’s vital industries. In the absence of any adaptation strategy, risk of infection will continue to threaten the health and safety of workers. This […]

Pour répondre aux besoins des citoyens (mobilité, loisirs, activités sociales) en respectant les impératifs de distanciation physique, la Ville de Montréal et ses arrondissements ont implanté à l’été 2021 des rues piétonnes sur des artères commerciales, donc deux ont proposé des projets-pilotes de cohabitation des piétons avec les cyclistes (Avenue du Mont-Royal et rue Wellington). […]

This project will look at the career aspirations and confidence of engineering students in their first year of studies. The data to be analyzed comes from a survey of first year students collected as part of a co-op prepapration program. The data will be analysed to look for differences by gender, international and student status, […]

The detection of specific carbohydrates is critical for several processes including biofuel production, textile finishing, food production and human health. These carbohydrates play roles in human health including stem cell differentiation, genetic diseases, and viral infection (i.e., COVID-19). Presently, the largest barrier to understanding the role carbohydrates play in human health is the lack of […]

Lake Utopia Paper is interested in developing and improving the birch NSSC pulping process for the production of corrugating medium. The primary objective of this project is to develop delignification and sulfonation models for process control of NSSC pulping of birch. In addition, the relationship between the NSSC pulping process and the properties of the […]

Computer-supported Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems are increasingly replacing conventional paper-based information management in primary health care clinics. Recently, there has been a trend to make these EMR systems available in a Cloud-based, interoperable and network-centric architecture. The internship will research ways to increase the interoperability of an existing EMR product, with respect to emerging […]

Bridges are critical infrastructure assets, which connect transportation networks for the delivery of goods and services and are vital links for first responders. The goal of this research is to advance the state-of-the-art in innovative and cost-effective solutions to monitor the condition of bridge infrastructure using a low-cost sensor network and an intelligent robotic machine, […]

The proposed project is aimed at adding smart contract and sharding functionality to the Dandelion network, improving cryptographic efficiency with aggregable signatures under the BLS signature scheme, identifying a roadmap to a Quantum Resistant aggregable signatures, and mathematically proving the safety and liveness properties of the extended system using TLA+ proofs. This improve the platforms […]
