As the Internet has become part of people’s daily life, online advertising has also been more and more popular for its instant global communications. Of a number of factors on the cost of the advertising, a major consideration is the number of views of the ads, clicks to the ads, and conversion generated by the […]

Fire safety remains a global challenge, especially for people with functional limitations who face additional barriers when evacuating buildings during emergencies. As populations age and accessibility improves, more people with disabilities use public buildings yet evacuation designs rarely reflect their needs. This project, conducted at Lund University, forms the first phase of a broader PhD […]

Unprecedented advances have been made in Radiation Therapy during the past two decades. High precision treatment plan is generated using sophisticated optimization methods, and treatment is delivered with complex intensity modulation techniques. Due to the complexity, the burden of Quality Assurance (QA) for modern radiotherapy has also increased dramatically. Many staff and machine hours are […]

This project supports MedMe Health’s expansion into the U.S. market by improving how the company communicates its value as an AI-powered pharmacy platform. The intern will redesign MedMe’s website and create new marketing materials—such as videos, social graphics, brochures, and trade show visuals—to clearly explain the company’s products and AI capabilities to American pharmacies. Using […]

This project will fund Emily Diemert, a Wilfrid Laurier University undergraduate student, to collect research on the intersection between safer cities initiatives and social policies in Mexico City. Emily will be an exchange student at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, in Mexico City while also gaining experience as a researcher on data collection, coding and analysis […]

Biofouling is the unwanted accumulation of proteins and microorganisms on wetted surfaces. Accumulation of biofoulers on sensors and microfluidic devices greatly impairs their performance in assessing the physical, chemical, and biological condition of natural and processed water. Failure to obtain accurate data on these changes and respond in a timely manner may lead to serious […]

The role of this internship is to assist in reaching the SSHRC goal for the Dreamcatcher system of capturing cultural data, traditional ecological knowledge, and traditional land use. This internship will contribute to the growing area of critical Indigenous research in Canadian planning practice and theory. Canadian planning structures, including heritage recognition and conservation, are […]

This project develops programmable micro-lens arrays made from soft, temperature-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). Using digital micromirror lithography, the research will enable lenses that can adjust their focus through controlled shape changes. The collaboration between the University of Waterloo and Kent State University aims to advance adaptive optics for next-generation imaging and sensing technologies.

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic compounds. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and detailed understating of organization of the microbial communities. The work benefits to industry partner by providing comprehensive information […]

The proposed research intends to develop a generalized approach for the remote control of untethered effectors with less feedback required for stable control. Effectively, this approach doesn’t attempt to control effectors directly, instead aiming to control a weighted distribution of possible locations. In situations where imaging bandwidth is sufficient for stable control, the controlled distribution […]

This qualitative socio-legal research focuses on the role of litigation at the European Court of Human Rights in framing and legally narrating the relationship between the Turkish state and its Kurdish minority, concentrating on cases having to do with prisons and hunger striking. It will investigate the arguments made by litigants and HROs, and decisions […]

Recent years have witnessed a boom in the construction of modern high-rise buildings in megacities around the world. It is important to design a high-rise building that can effectively withstand both wind and earthquake loads. Nonetheless, in current practice, the design of high-rise buildings for wind and earthquakes is done independently. Hence, there is an […]
