The purpose of this 20-week study is two-fold. First, assess two comprehensive self-care programs on employee and organizational outcomes. Second, explore the self-care phenomenon. A single financial services organization will participate in the study. Financial consultants will be randomly assigned by office location into three groups. Group #1 will attend a comprehensive self-care program called […]

This application to MITACS supports the creation of an innovative mobile research lab. The Community Mobile Media Lab (CMML) is a purpose-designed mobile media production hub, which will house film production equipment that can be situated temporarily in communities we are collaborating with to explore innovative models of co-creation, training and mentorship. This infrastructure will […]

This project aims to explore the novel concept of nutrient recycling within the production process of microalgae biomass for biofuels and bioproducts. After extraction of primary products, the remaining waste materials which contain potential nutritional value will be evaluated for potential recycling as feedstocks into the production of additional microalgae biomass. Completion of this project […]

In this project, we will utilize thermal feedback for target position identification in a virtual environment, e.g., allow users to know the location and distance of a virtual object with respect to their position based on the location and intensity of the thermal feedback. Our goal is to design and develop a new VR application […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

In the age of artificial intelligence, machines learn from vast amounts of data to make predictions and decisions. But what happens when we need them to “unlearn” something—whether to protect privacy, correct biases, or comply with regulations? Existing approaches to machine unlearning can be effective at removing specific data from a model’s memory, but they […]
