The proposed project aims to develop an illustrated children’s book to educate youth on the importance of climate action, which has become increasingly importance due to the consequences of anthropogenic climate change. This project aims to develop a book that instills ecological and emotional literacy in order to empower youth to take action against climate […]

This project focuses on developing a robotic arm manipulator capable of accurately cutting plant leaves for genetic analysis, improving the efficiency and precision of agricultural plant research. In current studies, researchers must manually cut leaves from hundreds of plants, a time-consuming process that introduces inconsistencies due to varying plant conditions over time. Automating this task […]

The objective of the proposed research is to design and implement an innovative IBI scheme capable of minimizing basis risk. Forage insurance will be used as an example to empirically examine the effective implementation of the IBI, through establishing an adequate relationship between the weather index and forage yield. Therefore, a second objective of the […]

Comprehensive Healthcare at Home (CHAH Technology) is a Toronto-based health-tech startup leveraging AI to enhance home-based healthcare. The company develops predictive models that monitor patient health, detect early warning signs, and facilitate timely interventions to prevent hospitalizations. The healthcare system in Canada faces growing challenges due to an aging population and high public healthcare costs. […]

The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, part of the University Health Network (UHN), is Canada’s largest cancer hospital and one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world. This internship will take place in the Guided Therapeutics (GTx) lab, part of the cancer centre’s research institutes. The GTx lab is developing novel devices, algorithms, […]

This project focuses on improving transformer-based models for quantitative finance (QFin) by addressing key limitations such as inadequate long-term memory, lack of sentiment analysis, and difficulties in handling multimodal data. While transformers have achieved breakthroughs in fields like protein folding and natural language processing, their application in finance still faces challenges. Existing financial transformers struggle […]

A common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease is freezing of gait (FoG), which entails that patients freeze while walking and cannot continue to walk. A way to stop the FoG is to prove some sort of external stimulus (cueing). This project entails the creation of a device to detect FoG (based on previous devices) and provide […]

This project focuses on developing advanced catalysts for green hydrogen production by using MXene, a highly conductive nanomaterial, as a support for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. Efficient and durable OER catalysts are essential for water electrolysis, a key technology for producing hydrogen as a clean energy source. By combining expertise from the University of […]

Understanding the needs of patients and the gaps in the current treatment options is critical to creating improved products for these conditions. This project will identify conditions where there is a strong product-market fit using OptimEyes’ proprietary drug delivery nanoparticle platform to address these limitations. These results will inform in-lab R&D activities that will create […]

This project involves a student intern working with QReserve, a Canadian technology company providing resource management software, to evaluate and enhance our web accessibility standards. The intern, a Junior Software Developer, will collaborate with our development team to analyze the current software, identify areas for improvement, and implement changes to ensure the platform is accessible […]

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are made of software components interacting with their physical environment. They are used in many domains: Automotive, energy, healthcare, and many others. Within the automotive domain, the need for software is expanding. Software is transitioning from supporting infotainment systems to driving functionalities (e.g., cruise controller, automated pilots). As the need for software […]
