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 […]

Major depression (MDD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder. The aim of this project is to examine the link between specific molecular alterations and neuropathology in the brain in patients with MDD. We will use post-mortem brains that were collected by the Sao Paulo autopsy service. More specifically, oxidative modifications to proteins and lipids, and levels […]

For over twenty years, Social Capital Partners has invested in projects and people with the goal of using our capital to create more economic opportunity. We have chosen to take risks, try things that others are not doing, and co-design solutions with our partners that can be scaled. We invest where we are uniquely placed […]

This project “Multimodal RAG Explainability (MRAGE)” aims to develop an interactive tool for explaining Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) augmented with retrieval capabilities. LMMs represent a significant advancement in AI, capable of understanding and generating content across multiple modalities like text and images. By employing the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methodology, this project queries external knowledge sources […]
