Retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cause vision blur and distortion, eventually leading to vision loss. AMD is the leading cause of blindness in patients over 60, affecting an estimated 200 million people worldwide. Current treatments require patients to receive monthly injections into the back of the eye, risking adverse effects and placing […]

The proposed project addresses the pressing challenges indigenous communities face in the department of Vaupés, Colombia. These challenges include cultural loss, pollution, mental health issues, and ongoing food insecurity despite the region’s extensive biodiversity. Through a participatory approach, the project seeks to engage indigenous communities in understanding the impact of environmental changes, from climate change […]

The City of Toronto operates one of the largest and most diverse fleets in North America. Despite City’s commitment to road safety, incidents involving municipal fleet vehicles remain a challenge. This project ultimately aims to reduce incidents and improve fleet safety among light-duty vehicle fleet drivers within the City’s Transportation Services Division by targeting risky […]

Mobile robots equipped with chemical, radiological and explosive detectors are deployed during events where CBRNE materials have been dispersed; sending robots provides key reconnaissance data while reducing personnel exposure. Operators rely on camera views and on-board detectors to drive the robots using joysticks, and they have to control every aspect of the robot operation. Live […]

The current project aims to engage with adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families/caregivers and service providers to gain an understanding of best strategies and practices around engagement of brain and mental health. The expected benefit of this program is to support CAMH and the Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre in their goal of improving the […]

Releasing new product features to the existing branded Wealthstack Dynamic Dashboards.

Combining engineers from Australia and engineer interns from Canada to co-design and test new projects for development in the Electric vehicle and trailer braking industries.

Photonic technologies offer promising prospects for quantum information processing and simulations. Quantum states are usually encoded in photonic degrees of freedom like polarization and spatial modes, enabling the mimicking of target evolutions via a number of devices linearly growing with their temporal extension. This constraint intrinsically makes them lossy and inadequate for extreme quantum dynamics, […]

Springboard Policy is a is a public policy consulting firm that helps our clients lead policy conversations and influence government decision making. We believe that when more organizations have the power to share their thinking, experience, and expertise, we all get better public policy. Our clients come from the non-profit, private and broader public sectors, […]

In this project, we aim to numerically analyze the following conjecture “optimal flows for energy transfer correspond to reconnection of anti-parallel vortex tubes”. We will be tackling this optimization problem using a novel method employed by Professor Protas’ research group over the past few years. This project comes as a way to maintain a strong […]

Our proposed project will examine how invasive species spread. We plan to address this question by studying an invasive fish species, the round goby, and compare individuals at the invasion front with individuals in the established areas of the range on two continents (Europe and North America). Our aim is to determine if there is […]
