This project identifies two areas of interest to the residency. How does Empire of Dirt meet the safety requirements of hosting IB+POC artists. How does Empire of Dirt support the furthering of a network for IB+POC artists. Through this project we seek to more fully understand how safety (particularly cultural safety, social safety, safety of […]

This project will combine an in-depth research phase with AI-driven tools to help companies locate, onboard, and manage top international talent more effectively and at a lower cost. By analyzing global employment trends, labor regulations, and best practices for remote team management, I will gather data and develop clear, evidence-based hiring strategies. At the same […]

The project will develop a revolutionary, conformable hydrogen storage tank solution for fuel cell electric vehicles. The specific objective of this research collaboration is to develop a hydrogen storage medium that is stable at ambient conditions, has a high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity and can be packed into a fuel tank for use in vehicles. […]

The goal of the project is to help the industrial partner with evaluating, customizing and adopting advanced software engineering and quality assurance methods based on the notion of software product line (SPL) engineering practices. The software system considered in this project is an electronic medical record (EMR) system that is used in hundreds of clinics […]

Male sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, ejaculatory dysfunction, low libido, and low testosterone, affects most men at some point and often requires chronic management. However, access to evidence-based care in Canada is limited, care is fragmented across disciplines, and existing digital platforms lack efficiency and innovation in sexual medicine. Teumo Health Technologies Inc. […]

Coastal landscapes, bridging the terrestrial and marine environments, are characterized by their dynamic shorelines and diverse geomorphological features, including soft and rocky shores, cliffs, coastal shelves, and wetlands. These habitats are crucial for supporting life cycles, marine food webs, and broader ecosystem functions. As climate change and human activities increasingly impact these areas, effective monitoring […]

In this project, we will design a set of communication protocols dedicated for linear wireless sensor networks, which have promising applications in the real world for environment and infrastructure monitoring. The protocols will be implemented and evaluated by using the multimode, enhanced wireless senor nodes developed in the host academic supervisor’s lab. With the objectives […]

This project explores consumer resistance to purchasing and using zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs), in the context of Canada’s goals to transition to 100% ZEV sales in the passenger vehicle market by 2035. A key uncertainty regarding this transition is how later buyers will respond. To date, little research has focused on understanding “ZEV resistance”: the various […]

Telemedicine systems can connect health practitioners and patients with specialists in geographically distant regions. Yet we still do not have a strong understanding of how such systems are used and how they support or impede the workflow of health professionals. This research explores how nurses, general practitioners, and specialists make use of telemedicine systems and […]

This project is a strategic planning project designed to transfer skills and capacity building in the form of a five-year strategic plan for the Sii T’ax Economic Development Corporation. This project will also include an assessment of the current business units of the Sii T’ax Economic Development Corporation. Based on recent and current ISIS projects […]

The project aims to provide accessible, empirically-guided, and population-specific mental health interventions. These interventions will be co-created with the populations who will benefit from them, using a participatory action framework developed by applicant Kev Kokoska’s PhD research with incarcerated people. The core idea is to tailor and repurpose the mental health tools that have proven […]

Rapid testing has emerged as a core pillar of public health and diagnostics, and relies heavily on lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) test kits. Lateral flow assay dispenser (LFAD) is the preferred method of manufacturing LFIA test kits. Significant improvements in LFAD can significantly improve through put, while simultaneous reduce costs. The increased adoption of Industry […]
