In Canada, there’s a strong push to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with British Columbia leading the charge through initiatives like CleanBC, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. In order to support these goals, the British […]

Physicians in Canada spend significant time on administrative tasks, including completing paperwork that requires filling out various forms in different formats. It is estimated that most physicians spend about 19 hours per week on paperwork. Such demands not only lead to burnout but also detract from patient care. Moreover, this additional workload is also an […]

Our project addresses the critical challenge in the Canadian labour market: the mismatch between the demand for talent and the availability of skilled individuals to fulfill economic priorities. With Canada facing prolonged labour shortages across various sectors due to demographic shifts, this initiative seeks to bridge the gap by leveraging AI to analyze and match […]

This project is going to digitalize a patented method of presenting the guitar tablature and build an online system to assist guitar teaching. The new method invented by Mr. Mark Vandendool can present the guitar tablature with 8 building clocks. People can easily learn the chores of thousands of songs, which is impossible with the […]

This invention is a software that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the way contrast media is injected into coronary arteries during medical procedures. It focuses on using the first contrast injection to determine the exact amount needed for further injections in either the left or right coronary artery. This means that the software can […]

The Summer Internship for 2024 will focus on having two interns continue to enhance and roll out e-learning platforms that focus on Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship fundamentals in Indigenous communities. Specifically, two interns will first be trained in project management, event planning, customer service, financial literacy and technology certification programs that will allow them to […]

The ultimate aim of this project is to design and develop methods and tools for classifying attributes of books such as genre, style, tone, and likelihood of being popular. Towards this end we will make use of various information types available on books and users of the Kobo catalog, including the text, meta-data associated with […]

In this project, we use the analytical tools of philosophy and argumentation theory to address an increasing and troubling phenomenon: political differences. Thus, we start from a rhetorical model of argumentation proposed by the Canadian philosopher C. Tindale at the University of Windsor, to illuminate recent case studies. The project is divided into two components. […]
