When engineers verify software products they need at the same time some guidance as to verification objectives and an idea of when it is reasonable to stop the verification activity. One such guidance comes under the form of criteria which are predominantly functional (typically, one exercises the software in ways it is expected to be […]

This project will establish a commercially viable, regenerative biomaterial-based method for effective, reduced-cost and clinically feasible culture of immune cells for immune cell therapies. Argan Biomedical Technologies inc, partnering with the Sefton lab at UofT, has developed technology that uses regenerative synthetic biomaterials to reduce the use of expensive and otherwise problematic biological components used […]

The John McGivney Children’s Centre (JMCC) provides rehabilitation and support services to children and youth with disabilities in Windsor-Essex. One of its key services is Seating and Mobility, which ensures that children have customized equipment—such as wheelchairs and adaptive seating—that helps them participate in daily life safely and comfortably. This project proposes placing a student […]

The project aims to research the feasibility of designing and building a drone from parts supplied in Canada. The first objective is to build a prototype of a made-in-Canada drone that showcases current technology and incorporates the highest proportion possible of parts from Canada. The second objective is to design a manufacturing process that can […]

This project will focus on developing a scoring system to help organizations understand which of their software and technology systems are most at risk from advances in quantum computing. Many of today’s encryption methods, which protect sensitive data and communications, will become vulnerable once quantum computers are powerful enough. The intern will work with the […]

This project will study a relationship between graph (network) theory and algebraic objects known as ideals. Graph theory is a major branch of mathematics with diverse applications to society and industry, including transportation system modelling, social media marketing, and statistical models, among others. To study a graph, one can use the algebraic structure of a […]

The project will help the Institute of Innovation and Advanced Learning (IIAL) grow the reach and adoption of the Whole-Chain International Standard (WCIS-2025) and its professional designation, Certified Supply Chain Integrity Professional (CSCIP). WCIS is a global framework that helps organizations improve supply chain integrity, transparency, and sustainability. The intern, Rocio, will create targeted marketing […]

This research project explores how agentic AI—autonomous AI agents with the ability to perceive, reason, and act—can be designed and deployed within recommendation systems to proactively identify and counteract shilling attacks. These attacks involve malicious users injecting fake reviews or ratings to manipulate recommendations. The project aims to develop an adaptive, multi-agent, Agentic AI-driven model […]

Making use of the ever-growing amount of data available is a vital opportunity for many industries and research labs, both in Canada and the rest of the world. The initial exploratory data analysis phase is when many of the hypotheses and our intuitive understanding of a data set occurs. Thus, it is essential that the […]

Bikeshare systems around the world are increasingly incorporating electric bikes to expand their coverage and increase ridership. This project aims to apply descriptive and prescriptive analytics to support key operational and strategic decisions in bikeshare electrification. First, we will perform empirical analysis to quantify the spatially heterogeneous impact of electric bike availability on bikeshare ridership. […]

Heavy-lift drones offer promising solutions for challenges in wildfire response, construction, and logistics, thanks to their rapid deployment and lower environmental impact. As Pulshn focuses on developing drones capable of transporting heavy payloads, this research aims to support the optimization of drone design for enhanced performance and reliability. Specifically, the study will explore the aerodynamic […]

In collaboration with the Provincial Community Paramedicine Program at Ontario Health, Renfrew County Paramedics is leading the development of a Minimum Data Set (MDS) in an effort to improve CP integration with Ontario Health Teams. This project will focus on the development of a robust data governance framework that includes the development of core data […]
