This project is about studying the effects of mindfulness and indigenous dance movement in adults with anxiety. Anxiety is a highly treatable disorder, however, less than half of people with anxiety receive treatment and the few that receive treatment, default. Social support and cultural understanding of mental illness has been identified as potential areas of […]

There is an Elite graduate program at the University of Toronto’s Department of Computer Science called Master of Applied Science in Computing (MScAC). During this program students spend 8 months taking graduate courses and 8 months at their applied research internship at multinational research labs and startups, which send their project proposals for program approval. […]

La biodiversité apporte à l’humanité une grande quantité de services écosystémiques essentiels à la vie sur terre qu’il convient de protéger. Pour le stage proposé à Léonie Kilani Joli, nous nous intéresserons à l’étude de l’avifaune à partir d’une plateforme multimodale de caméras et de microphones connectés pour détecter la présence d’oiseaux, classifier les espèces […]

Improving postural balance is a part of many rehabilitation programs and plays an important role in clinical evaluation of residual motor ability. The assessment of center of pressure (COP) displacement is commonly done by laboratory-grade force plates that are expensive and require specific measurement set-up. The Nintendo Wii Balance Board (WBB) was proposed as an […]

The human voice is often referred to as a unique print for each individual and contains biomarkers that have been linked to various diseases ranging from Parkinson’s disease to dementia, mood disorders and cancers. For voice to emerge as one of the biomarkers of health, there is a pressing need for large, high quality, multi-institutional […]

Hard and transparent 3D printing materials are in demand in applications such as durable device passivation and transparent architectures. To replace 3d printable glass or ceramic, which has the disadvantage of undergoing high-temperature post-treatment after printing, the study of hard, transparent, and thermally resistant 3D printing materials will be conducted in this project. To achieve […]

The study of human body decomposition serves an important role in helping death investigators estimate the time since death, the context of the death, and postmortem movement of deceased individuals. Experimental submergence studies have helped distinguish decomposition effects of marine, freshwater, and laboratory-induced taphonomy from terrestrial contexts, but few actual cases of recovered human remains […]

Le projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une thèse menée en cotutelle entre les universités de Montréal et de Grenoble-Alpes. Le laboratoire CRESSON, affilié à l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Grenoble constitue le laboratoire d’accueil dans le cadre du projet. Ce laboratoire a développé une expertise unique en matière d’ambiance urbaine. La thèse porte sur le […]

Canola is a highly bee-attractive crop which is widely grown in Saskatchewan and commonly treated with agrochemicals, including neonictoinoid insecticides. The impact of canola production on native pollinator populations in Saskatchewan is unknown. In this Mitacs project, Sofiia will compare the abundance and diversity of wild pollinators in canola and non-canola habitats in Saskatchewan and […]

Depuis le début de la phase aiguë de la guerre russo-ukrainienne, plus de 12 millions d’Ukrainiens ont été contraints de quitter leur foyer. Plus de 4 millions d’entre eux sont partis à l’étranger, principalement dans les pays voisins. Qu’ils soient déplacés dans les régions occidentales ou vers d’autres pays, la principale préoccupation des Ukrainiens est […]

Algebraic geometry is generally concerned with understanding the properties of geometric objects defined by polynomial equations. These geometric objects, called “varieties”, are points, curves, surfaces and higher dimensional objects. To each variety there is an associated abstract object called a “commutative ring”. It is interesting to try to determine whether a variety contains a certain […]

This project is to understand the chemical modifications induced by laser irradiation leading to the formation of periodic nanostructures on the surface of metals. Such a study is very significant since it will allow to tune metallic surface properties to control for instance wettability, i.e. whether surfaces are hydrophillic (attract water) or hydrophobic (repel water).
