N2SOLVE OVERVIEW: This research pairing between France and Canadian researchers will develop new functional molecules: ligands, transition metal, and main group compounds that promote the equitable use of resources, specifically with regard to the global nitrogen cycle. To ensure the well-being of future generations, innovative approaches that engage sustainable practice must be adopted. With an […]

This project aims to experimentally investigate the optimal operating conditions for the reactive crystallization of compounds. A stirred-tank reactor will be set-up and the effects of mixing conditions on the resulting crystal particle size distribution will be investigated. Techniques for the online monitoring the reaction process will be explored, which will be used for model […]

The overarching aim of the study, of which the proposed MITACS funded work is part, is to determine if heritage designation impacts properties and to better understand some people’s support and other peoples resistance to designation. One aspect in particular concerns a building’s time-on-the-market (TOM). Although there have been studies on designation, there is a […]

Growing energy demand in buildings has driven research towards efficient techniques and sustainable sources. Double-skin façades reduce energy consumption, improve thermal comfort, and enable bioenergy generation via microalgae photobioreactors. While recent research has focused on optimizing thermal and bioenergy generation from such systems, it often neglects the impact of heat gain by the occupied space […]

Aspire Food Group is the largest commercial cricket rearing facility in the world and has recently encountered a significant presence of mites in their facility. The main objectives of this research will utilize the taxonomic and biocontrol expertise to: 1) identify the mite species present in the Aspire facilities, 2) make recommendations based on identifications […]

The current treatment for blood clots involves administering medications that increase the risk of excessive bleeding. Surgical intervention can be used, however, complex bends in the blood vessels can make it difficult to reach the clot site. Current treatments are not always successful, particularly in hard-to-reach areas such as below the knee. Miniature robots offer […]

This project aims to research and develop on building a real-time deepfake audio detection system that is capable of distinguishing between authentic and spoofed audio voices with the help of Quantum Machine Learning (QML). The primary goal is to identify the limitations of existing classical ML techniques and explore how QML can improve the different […]

Our research project aims to preserve the post-thaw viability and functionality of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from equine cord blood (eCB-MSCs). The project addresses the challenge posed by asynchronous culture paired with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-based cryopreservation, which may lead to cryoinjury, batch variability, and reduced therapeutic effectiveness. By investigating a novel DMSO-free cryoprotective agent […]

SmartSimple is experiencing tremendous growth and need to ensure our business operations can keep up with the demands on the organization. Given our multi-location operations and the collaborative nature of our workforce, we need to implement well-organized and strong operation processes to sustain the long term growth of the organization. During the internship, we will […]

Chemotherapy uses drugs to treat cancer, but often causes significant side effects as the drug can spread throughout the body and affect healthy tissues as well. These side effects can be reduced by capturing drugs into nanoparticles such as liposomes that can enter tumors directly, but are too large to accumulate in healthy tissues. However, […]
