The goal of the proposed research project is to perform an in-depth analysis of shape memory alloys through thermal and mechanical testing. This analysis will be used to develop new mathematical models to better predict the performance of the shape memory alloys after they have undergone a manufacturing process that is unique to the partner […]

The goal of this project is to develop a faster and more accurate way to detect ventricular tachycardia using an algorithm to analyze the signal results from Paced Electrogram Fractionation Analysis (PEFA); ideally real time through use of a basket catheter. St Jude Medical, our research partner, creates medical hardware specifically geared towards detecting and […]

In the airline industry, crew planning is an essential task that every airline will face. Flight crew expenses constitute the second largest operating cost (Kohl and Karisch. 2004), second only to the rising cost of fuel. Crew planning refers to the assignment of flight segments to pilots and flight attendants so that they start and […]

Magnify Access is partnering with Sheridan’s Centre for Applied AI (CAAI) to advance the Workplace Accommodation System (W-PAS), a technology platform designed to streamline workplace accommodations for employees with disabilities.

Their solutions are widely utilized in hand therapy and musculoskeletal (MSK) rehabilitation, providing patients and clinicians with interactive tools that promote movement compliance and facilitate real-time data capture. With a mission to […]

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.
