The proposal aligns with an ongoing project conducted by the Gilbrea Dementia SHARE group which investigates the impact of a nature-based support program for older adults with dementia and their caregivers. This study focuses on social health and well-being outcomes for individuals living with dementia. The proposed project aims to identify the socio-ecological factors influencing […]

This project re-examines the Commonwealth of Nations to consider the role of Commonwealth membership in the constitutional development of former colonies of the British Empire. Looking at Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth Caribbean, this project situates these countries within the larger history of decolonization and national independence in the twentieth century. The methodology […]

This work suggests an innovative microfluidic approach for complex biological sample separation, emphasizing the need for methods that enhance efficiency while considering the delicate nature of such samples. This project aims to deploying a continuous, portable microfluidic sorter that can effectively process heterogeneous organoid samples, enhancing throughput and preserving sample integrity. The findings will contribute […]

A quantum proof of knowledge (QPoK) is a protocol in quantum computing that allows one party (the prover) to convince another party (the verifier) that they possess certain knowledge without revealing the knowledge itself. Our research proposal aims to advance the science of QPoKs by developing both theoretical foundations and practical applications. We will explore […]

The overall objective of the Mitacs Globalink Project is to develop and assess the validity of models of exposure to air pollutants and temperature variability, using data extracted from a variety of available sources in South Africa and Canada. This objective will be achieved through a series of specific aims. The first of these aims […]

Our team investigates vocalizations of Savannah Sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis) to understand how vocalizations are used during the breeding season. Our team previously detected a distinctive call type – the “twitter call”- that was poorly described and understood. The function of this call is unknown. The goal of this project is to explore if the twitter […]

As network speeds reach hundreds of gigabits per second and beyond, there is increasing interest in using programmable Network Interface Cards (NICs) to improve network performance. A key area of focus is accelerating transport protocols, which significantly impact network performance. Transport protocols are continuously re-designed and updated, especially in large-scale networks, to optimize network performance. […]

Canine gastroenteritis is a syndrome characterized by inflammation of the stomach and intestines, resulting in acute onset diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia. As no prophylactic treatment exists, veterinary health preparedness based on surveillance is a key preventive strategy. We propose a comparative empirical study applying various language modeling approaches to identify gastroenteritis outbreaks in UK dogs […]

A cochlear implant (CI) is a complex electronic device designed to provide the sensation of sound to profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing individuals. Imaging of the implanted CI electrode would assist manufacturers in verifying the efficacy of their designs and would also provide important information to clinics for programming CIs post-surgery. However, the size and […]
