The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the mental health of Canadians. Surprisingly, as of April 2022, self-rated levels of anxiety and depression were comparable to the ones observed during the worst periods of the pandemic, according to data collected by MHRC. Therefore, it is important that we continue to monitor the mental health […]

This research project will leverage Large Language Models to automatically read and interpret network product documentations, generating structured information that can help automate the configuration of network products with minimal human effort. By automating these time-consuming tasks, the project aims to help engineers accelerate their product setup process, reduce the risk of manual errors, and […]

This project will focus on creating a better way to detect senescent cells in the brain. Senescent cells are cells that no longer divide, but can still affect nearby cells in harmful ways. By analyzing large sets of gene expression data, the intern will help the partner organization develop new AI-based methods to find these […]

This project focuses on validating WithinStride™, a smart insole for gait rehabilitation, through piloting, feasibility, and clinical outreach. By refining usability and fostering clinician adoption, it bridges research and market integration, ensuring scalable, effective home-based rehabilitation.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold immense potential for regenerative therapies, primarily due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types and their immunomodulatory properties. While traditionally derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or umbilical cord, these sources pose significant challenges, including cost, invasiveness, and availability. Recent studies suggest that human hair follicles (HF) offer […]

The skin provides an important protective barrier for the body. When this barrier is compromised due to injury or other insults, the skin responds by initiating a process called wound healing to restore the barrier function. Wound healing is driven by specialized cells in the skin that respond to molecular signals following injury. When wound […]

Friendships between colleagues with different visual abilities might promote organizational harmony. However, people lacking experience with visually diverse peers may feel apprehensive about forming such bonds. Studies suggest common interests and values facilitate friendship. Thus, emphasizing what colleagues have in common may improve teamwork. But recognizing the unique experiences of those with sight loss is […]

We appear to be at the beginning of a revolution in the development of new technologies based on quantum science. Over the past several years, Canada has become a world leader in quantum information research and in the development of these emerging quantum technologies. Quantum computers that are based on optical architectures include some of […]

In cabinet production, board cutting and cabinet manufacturing need workers to manually operate machines and assembly. The proposed research project will simulate the real-time process of automatic board cutting and manufacture, assembly automatically with the help of various sensors and camara vision. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms enables intelligent decision-making and […]

The Environmental scan, including a critical appraisal, will 1) map the scope, range, and effectiveness of music and movement programs for older adults and identify gaps and opportunities for future research and practice; and 2) map and appraise research methodologies being used for studies conducted on music and movement programs for older people and identify […]

The primary objective of this project is to assess the demand forecast and optimize FluidAI’s manufacturing processes for Stream Platform, FluidAI’s first commercial offering, based on the recent commercial successes in Canada and the Middle East as well as a planned entry into the US, European, and Asia Pacific markets. The first phase of the […]

As Hamilton, Ontario endures a proliferating mental health crisis, community mental health agencies are struggling to deliver care to everyone who needs it. This project involves intern Loa Gordon partnering with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Hamilton branch to develop, implement, and assess an evidence-based self-care curriculum that will be offered to CMHA Hamilton […]
