Just Vertical builds, sells, and supports indoor growing gardens and farming modules. Indoor vertical farming is becoming more popular but is currently limited by the varieties of crops that can be grown and subsequently, the nutritionally density of those crops grown indoors. Building on the first research project between Just Vertical and Seneca in 2020, […]

Cancer cells can travel to distant sites through the lymphatic system; this system is similar to a network of pipes within the body that carries fluids and cells to all organs. The metastatic spread of cancer cells through this network is one of the reasons why this disease is so difficult to stop. We are […]

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In Canada, cancer accounts for 30% of all deaths, and half of all Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime. Many cancers can be prevented or controlled through early detection, but the availability of such tests is scarce and a reliable general biomarker for different […]

This project communicates interactive cross-sectoral data about how municipal planning policies related to urban form may address both climate action and urban livability. The research generates numerous measured future what-if scenarios for neighbourhood-scale changes to population, population density, built form, building energy, mobility, urban greening. This project addresses a problem of communication by designing and […]

The partner organization is building a knowledge graph to integrate the knowledge in the SharePoint documents/pages of each domain, which will be used as the central information base to support various information retrieval tasks such as intelligent chatbots that can automatically identify relevant information. A critical element of the knowledge graph is a taxonomy of […]

Mathstronauts’ NEXUS Program is a 12-week program in which grade 11 and 12 students from underrepresented groups gain fundamental technical skills in the areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and soft skills (time management, note taking, etc.) to support their transition into post-secondary education. To investigate the impact of this intervention, our intern […]

Have you ever done a finger prick to get a few drops of blood to test your glucose level using a handheld device? Or taken a “bed-side” pregnancy test using urine and a device at the palm of your hands? We’re planning to follow the same model and develop a device that can detect pregnancy […]

According to a recent report, when it comes to animal protection laws Canada has not been performing adequately, receiving a grade of “D” on the Animal Protection Index (API). The low marks received were for not having adequate legislation protecting wildlife in captivity, working animals, farm animals, animals used in research and companion animals. At […]

Millions of Canadians struggle with insomnia, but common methods of dealing with poor sleep (e.g., medication) have poor side effects, do not have lasting effects, and are not preferred by patients and providers. Although cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold-standard treatment, there is limited access because most mental health practitioners (MPHs) do […]

Alors qu’à l’échelle nationale il est connu qu’il faille dorénavant tenir compte des préoccupations des Premières Nations en regard de leur présence sur le territoire depuis des milliers d’années, le projet du Parc régional des Grandes rivières constitue un pas déterminant dans cette reconnaissance à l’échelle régionale. En effet, la mission du Parc qui vise […]

Sustainability continues to be one the most critical issues of the 21st Century. Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) are a popular research topics as academia looks to promote sustainability within industry. Small to mid-sized Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms in Canada remain outside the capable bounds of the expensive and complex tools and consultation required […]

Considering the continually growing energy demands and concerns about climate change due to anthropogenic CO2 generated from fossil fuels, there has been a global endeavor to transition towards low-carbon renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic technologies. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are ideal candidates for low-cost PV technologies thanks to the possibility of large-scale device fabrication by […]
