Grief supports are necessary to help children process death, without hindering their ability to engage with the world around them from a place of safety, purpose and worthiness. There are unique considerations in providing bereavement services to inner city youth who may be regularly exposed to drug use, while also experiencing higher rates of mortality […]

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a widely used plastic, often includes a variety of additives like plasticizers and stabilizers to meet specific performance needs. However, these complex blends complicate recycling, limiting the ability to produce high-quality recycled PVC (rPVC) that meets current regulatory and environmental standards, and having manufacturers incorporate it into production. To address this, Oligomaster […]

Oligomaster Inc. is developing a Sustainable Product Development Tool that leverages molecular simulation and machine learning to streamline the formulation process for plastic and chemical manufacturers. As industry moves towards sustainable alternatives and faces tighter regulations on certain chemicals, including harmful plasticizers, traditional trial-and-error methods of formulation are no longer efficient or economically viable. This […]

The transition to sustainable energy has heightened the demand for advanced power conversion technologies, crucial for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly in Canada, where the transportation sector is a major contributor. Canada aims to achieve 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2040, but current projections suggest only 48% of the target will be met, largely […]

Artificial intelligence promises to dramatically accelerate preclinical biomedical research, yet ensuring it provides accurate and relevant information remains a challenge. Current approaches may fabricate references and often lack the context needed to fully address scientific questions. Consequently, AI has not been widely adopted for applications such as hit selection from biological screens or experiment design. […]

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been utilized as a space lubricant due to its suitability for vacuum environments. While MoS2 lubricants were adequate for early spacecraft, the increasing duration of missions has heightened the demands on these lubricants, necessitating ultrahigh wear lives extending from months to decades. To overcome these limitations, MoS2 has been co-deposited with […]

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 in order to create as full of a historical, cultural, and economic record as is possible as well as strong land use management/consultation, water management, asset management, […]

This project will focus on the optical detection of free carriers in 2D materials. The insights gained will enable the extraction of carrier numbers from the absorption and emission spectra of 2D crystals subjected to high magnetic fields. Understanding the optical responses of low-dimensional, many-body systems is crucial for advancing future optoelectronic devices in quantum […]

In Canada every year, approximately 20% of the food produced becomes waste and food waste is Canada’s largest residual municipal solid waste category. Despite diversion strategies like composting, 28% of residential and 25% of industrial, commercial, and institutional solid waste is comprised of food waste and landfilled or incinerated. Food waste can be converted to […]
