EBSCO and McMaster University’s Health Information Research Unit (HiRU) collaborate to enhance the delivery of high-quality, clinically relevant content to healthcare professionals. Through DynaMed, EBSCO’s evidence-based clinical resource, and HiRU’s literature surveillance program, McMaster PLUS, they provide a continuous stream of rigorously appraised articles from PubMed to clinicians globally and to DynaMed expert authors. Machine […]

Health economic evaluation provides information about the value for money of new healthcare technologies, and is increasingly used to guide the allocation of scarce resources based on maximizing health gain. The molecular diagnostics company, PDI, has developed a technology to improve the identification of patients at high risk for oral cancers for early intervention, and […]

Image processing principles and techniques represent a significant advancement in modern technology, offering invaluable contributions to numerous sectors. Despite their efficacy, conventional AI and ML-based image processing algorithms encounter inherent limitations that obstruct their scalability and performance. The main aim of the proposed research project is to develop image processing algorithm based on quantum computing […]

We will investigate a decision procedure for the monitorability of timed-properties of software controlled systems. A property defines a behaviour that a system is expected to exhibit, or in some cases, to not exhibit. In Runtime Verification, a property is monitorable if it is possible to construct a monitor that can detect the system’s conformance […]

Blockchain technology consists of a distributed ledger that operates through a decentralized network of data blocks, sequentially connected and regulated by consensus mechanisms. Initially developed to underpin cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, broader business and technological sectors now recognize blockchains’ potential applicability across various fields, including healthcare, communication, and smart grids. Blockchains currently rely on established cryptographic […]

Magnetic confinement of the extremely hot plasma necessary to achieve controlled nuclear fusion has made tremendous progress in recent years towards the ultimate goal of operating as a commercially viable long-term source of energy that can greatly facilitate the decarbonization of our energy system. As part of this research effort a fusion reactor prototype is […]

The proposed research project will focus on the development of novel techniques to improve the assessment of psychological functions. Current psychological tests are limited in their ability to provide quantitative information on an individual’s ability to move and interact with their environment. Many psychological tests are computer-based systems that have been developed to assess psychological […]

This project, led by a faculty member from the University of Waterloo in collaboration with a senior scholar at a top Taiwanese national university, focuses on utilizing Extended Reality (XR) technologies, e.g., virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, to enhance virtual workplace well-being, with a special emphasis on cultural sensitivity. The projects sets out to thoroughly […]

During rainfall events, it is nearly impossible to prevent water from entering into a sanitary sewer system. When this does occur, the capacity of the systems is decreased while the amount of water sent to treatment plants is increased. Current design practices do not offer any insights into the variability and other statistics characterizing this […]

In the current digital world, users are constantly sending companies signals of their experiences and preferences in various shapes and forms, including likes/dislikes of a particular offer/product, reviews on platforms and social media, and contacting customer service. However, despite the abundance of signals, E-commerce companies are unable to rapidly gain meaningful and actionable insights from […]

The attractive physicochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of PHAs, combined with their biodegradability and biocompatibility, make them exciting materials that can support an environmentally sustainable circular bioeconomy. In this research project, we plan to develop an extraction and purification process for recovering PHAs from bacteria. The recovered PHAs will be further characterized with a focus […]
