Our research aims to address the trustworthniess, scalability and interpretability of LLMs in the RAG enviroment by generating not only novel academic insights but also practical technology that helps enterprise AI users better understand, evaluate, and debug. By achieving a deeper, theoretically and empirically grounded understanding of how LLMs behave within RAG systems, we seek […]

Global Health Governance is a hot topic these days but it seldom reaches the dalitbahujans (low caste and tribal peoples, the majority in India). Pairing industry with global health agendas is the wave of the future and can be more fruitful if culturally sensitive. Eight years ago, India embarked on the National Rural Health Mission […]

This research project is investigating the management practices to improve nutrient management in spring wheat production using enhanced efficiency fertilizers and biochar in Nova Scotia. Extreme weather and high precipitation rates have caused leaching and nitrogen losses in soils that have severely impacted yields across the region. Nutrients from conventional fertilizers can be rapidly leached […]

Using qualitative research methods, including in-depth interviews and a facilitated workshop, the project explores the educational transition experiences of older refugee-background youth (ORBY) resettled in rural areas of Nova Scotia. Research indicates that resettled ORBY face challenges completing high school and post-secondary programs, explained as influenced by duration of school disruptions, addressing family economic need, […]

Cognitive behavior therapy ten (CBT-T) is a less resource-intensive, more accessible version of traditional CBT for eating disorders that has been found to be equivalent for improving eating disorder symptoms to traditional treatment. To further improve treatment accessibility, CBT-T can be done in a group format with up to 10 patients. The Nova Scotia Health […]

The collaborative project among NSCAD University/ Dalhousie Engineering and the partner, Penalty Four, seeks to refine development of a polo mallet prototype that can become an alternative to the conventional wood head with cane shaft, used in the game throughout its history. The inherent issue with the wood mallet is a lack of durability and […]

Electric vehicles have been a focal point of sustainable transport planning in recent years.
