This project will extend and generalize the software architecture that underlies Living Architecture Systems Group installations. These originally incorporated one-off and bespoke software to enable the specific context of the installation. Gradually the software has become more systematized, and some theoretical principles have emerged. This project will focus on extending and generalizing the current software […]

This project will explore reversible chemical reactions that can be used in interactive installation works to modulate light and enhance viewer experience in these immersive environments. The outcome will benefit the Riverside Architectural Press and the Living Architecture Systems Group by establishing the viability of key components, positioning proof-of-concept prototypes for potential integration into next-generation […]

Training artificial intelligence and machine learning (AIML) models requires a large amount of data. However, access to data for AIML projects has been problematic in practice, largely due to privacy concerns. One approach to enable data sharing and data access is to anonymize the data. However, in the Canadian context, a national standard and a […]

Organ fibrosis contributes to the top 10 causes of death in Canada, affects >6.5M North Americans, consumes >$25 billion in global healthcare expenses, and is a major burden for patients, families, and our society. One of the main signals driving fibrosis is persistent and excessive production of the growth factor TGF-beta. The Hinz lab identified […]

Research Question: How does ER-remodelling affect plastid morphology? The project focuses on unveiling the relationship between the plastid and ER by investigating novel proteins that seem to mediate the contact between both cellular compartments. Besides investigating the possible bridge between organelles key players changing plastid morphological aspects will be analysed in depth to understand if […]

Existing democratic structures are fragile and insufficient to address the cascading crises of the coming years. Without inclusive opportunities for people to communicate their views in a deliberative way, both communities and policymakers are being held back from co-creating a desirable future for Canada, a need that the Cornerstone Indicator process is aiming to address. […]

In recent years, the sporting experiences offered by Canada’s amateur sport organization have been brought into question. Numerous scandals have been uncovered across a variety of sports that have displayed significant shortcomings in managerial conduct, safety assurances, inclusivity, and equity. As a result, Canada’s national sport organizations have been called to address the widespread shortcomings […]

The general objective of this project is to develop and implement an innovative AI-powered solution that enables resellers and small-medium-sized eCommerce businesses to generate pricing predictions of items from product images enabling them to save time and maintain consistency across pricing. The solution aims to reduce the time-consuming and expensive process of manually predicting prices […]
