The proposed project aims to enhance UpBeing’s social wellness app by refining its wellbeing measurement model to include new check-in items and passive data sources, such as data from wearable devices and calendars. This project will improve the app’s accuracy in measuring users’ mental wellbeing and provide more comprehensive and actionable insights. The expected benefit […]

This architectural and urban design proposal is a collaboration with The Bentway, to investigate the significance of place and civic identity at the intersection of radical accessibility and inclusion, social and environmental resilience, and dynamic multi-functional infrastructure to advance the Under Gardiner Public Realm Plan. The Bentway leads a creative movement to re-imagine the hybrid […]

A key aspect of human behaviour is the ability to flexibly interact with our dynamic environment. From a baby learning to walk, to a pilot flying a plane, humans rely on their ability to acquire relevant information from the environment, integrate that information into their planning and decision making, and generate the necessary actions successfully. […]

Improving the quality of X-ray imaging and radiation therapy is crucial to the efficacy of cancer treatments. Recently, hafnium dioxide nanoparticles (HfO2 NPs) have been approved in the European Union as a radiosensitizer and are currently in clinical trials in the United States. This is based on hafnium’s ability to amplify local radiation doses by […]

The overarching goal of this project is to bolster Happly’s capabilities through data science and AI, thereby enabling startups to receive customized recommendations and refined funding strategies. The intern will play a pivotal role […]

This research will investigate Responsible Gambling (RG) messaging. Specifically, the research will examine which RG messages are more effective and which populations respond better to certain kinds of message. This information will be used to create RG messaging that meets the needs of the diverse casino patronage.

Our group develops advanced tools that allow us to observe and understand materials operating within the realm of quantum physics, particularly those that emit light at the smallest scales. Quantum materials, often regarded as the superheroes of the science world, possess unique properties that can revolutionize technology—from ultra-fast computers to highly secure communication systems. To […]

Dissimilar-material joining is becoming increasingly sought after in several industries – including automotive, aerospace, and rail – due to the potential to improve vehicle weight reduction and efficiency while maintaining safety and structural strength. Resistance Spot Riveting (RSRTM) is a novel joining technology designed to enable inexpensive, efficient, and effective dissimilar-material joining. As it stands, […]

Canada aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Buildings play a big role in this effort, so this research focuses on developing a tool to design and retrofit buildings for greater energy efficiency and sustainability. Using advanced computer models and data from building simulations, this tool predicts […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This proposal aims to develop a robust, low complexity infant cry deep learning classification based on various babies’ responses to physiological needs such as hunger or to discomfort and pain. The significance of this research lies in its potential to enhance early detection of needs and moods in newborns, contributing to improved infant care, early […]

This project aims to quantify defects in the probability framework for 2-dimensional (2D) materials with superior performance using optical techniques, primarily focusing on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Additionally, defects are an important factor influencing the performance of single-photon emitters (SPEs), a type of quantum device. This project will directly relate the SPE performance with defect concentration. […]
