As the Canadian population is aging, more and more Canadians will show cognitive decline. Aging and certain types of neurological disorders is often associated with deficits in executive functions: goal maintenance, planning, task switching and attention. These functions are critical for the maintenance of functional independence. Few validated rehabilitation approaches for these types of deficits […]

Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) is a national charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people facing cancer. We do this by educating and empowering individuals to manage the appearance-related and psychosocial impacts of cancer and its treatment. Our workshops and resources are designed to help people feel more like themselves again […]

This project will engage Veterans, Families and service organisations across Canada to co-design a continuum of care that supports the mental health and substance use health of Veterans and Families. A series of 3-4 engagement sessions will be held with approximately 50 Veterans and families, as well as a 2-3 workshops series with approximately 30 […]

Security Operations Centers today grapple with overwhelming alert volumes, fragmented toolchains, and manual response processes that impede timely threat containment. Analysts must pivot between multiple SIEM and EDR consoles, manually enrich indicators, and open tickets one by one, introducing delays that adversaries exploit to dwell undetected. Moreover, static severity tags lack the nuance to prioritize […]

Oilseeds and grains are considered to be excellent sources of non-animal proteins containing the appropriate essential amino acids required for optimal human health. Conventional protein production methods involve the use of solvents, concentrated acids and alkali that result in protein denaturation, thereby reducing the quality and functionality of the protein ingredients. The proposed project will […]

The proposed project aims to investigate the pathway and mechanisms of the anaerobic biotransformation of the persistent organochlorine pesticide chlordecone (CLD). At the home institute, University of Toronto (Toronto, Canada), the intern has successfully identified a a trichloroethylene (TCE)-dechlorinating culture, KB-1, that can completely transform 1.5 mg/L (3.1 µM) of CLD within 200 days when […]

With approximately 170,000 employees across 342 manufacturing operations and 91 product development, engineering, and sales centers in 28 countries, Magna […]

This project will explore how AI can best complement human expertise in cybersecurity operations. The intern will collaborate with industry professionals at eSentire to study how tasks are currently performed, develop lightweight AI-based tools to support key workflows, and design a method to assess the impact of these tools in real-world conditions. The goal is […]

This research falls at the intersection of the “data, economy and society” and the “digitalization, security and democracy” core research areas. It aims to tackle the consequences of cross-border data flows on democracy and individual’s security, while underlining the economic potential of this data. The research also exists in continuation of CIGI’s two essay series […]

This project focuses on researching and developing an advanced coordination mechanism between our API layers and LLM infrastructure. The goal is to efficiently access and reason across both structured and unstructured data sources to improve customer’s decision-making processes. Success will be measured by the speed in which that data source can be identified, sourced, and […]

In the interest of sustainability, novel aircraft configurations such as the blended-wing-body (BWB) have garnered a great deal of attention for their potential to dramatically improve aircraft fuel efficiency. The BWB concept has been studied extensively using aerodynamic shape optimization to predict its performance benefits and study the key design features of the aircraft. In […]
