We aim to evaluate a virtual reality (VR) application and refine another VR prototype design to reduce social anxiety. The first application is a virtual forest where users can navigate through a calming forest and engage in activities like guided meditation and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) exercises. We will evaluate the usability of this application in […]

The proposed project will support an international collaboration between researchers at the University of Toronto and the University of Melbourne / Orygen. As an integrated youth mental health service centre, built by top researchers leading mental health service reform internationally, Orygen provides an optimal setting to conduct research into complex processes of resilience and functional […]

The aim of this project is to develop a wearable device, called ImpactSense, to help measure performance on walking tests specific to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and/or Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The proposed research will investigate whether the sensor can be used to understand the: 1) effects of distracted walking, such as walking while […]

In Canada, ensuring clean and safe water while promoting environmental sustainability is a top priority. While wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been playing a crucial role in public health and environmental protection, but their operational efficiency still needs to be improved. To this end, this research project focuses on harnessing the power of data-driven modeling […]

This project is about understanding and keeping track of personal wellbeing over time. While wellbeing apps have helped people closely monitor various aspects of their lives, there’s still a challenge in effectively using this data for self-improvement. I’ll work with UpBeing to determine the best ways to measure wellbeing and identify factors contributing to improved […]

This study addresses the challenge faced by children with severe motor impairments in acquiring proficient powered wheelchair (PW) skills for independent locomotion. Traditional means, such as joysticks, may not be suitable, prompting exploration of brain-computer interface (BCI)-based PWs. However, limited research exists in the pediatric realm due to developing brains and a lack of tailored […]

The project presents an opportunity for a Canadian company (SALT Inc.) to partner with a Canadian university research team to develop cost-effective technology to solve an important environmental and health-related problem, while contributing positively to Canada’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gases. The Wood Buffalo Bioreactor Landfill Project is estimated to reduce 253,134 tonnes of CO2 […]

Based on current and potential client feedback, our project is focused to develop a modern data pipeline for data cleaning, validation and audits. We also focus on helping clients who are interested in investing in certain portfolio companies who wish to evaluate the ESG performance of a company which might not have a system that […]

In this project, we plan to address the specific application and problem that TeTechS Inc is facing at this stage of its product development of photoconductive antennas, which is using its photoconductive antennas for characterizing performance of quantum cascade lasers (QCL) in time-domain measurement setup by demonstrating the capability of its proprietary terahertz sensor technology […]

Emissions from the buildings sector account for over half of Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions, of which about one quarter is attributed to the city’s ~32,000 small commercial buildings. To meet the City of Toronto’s Net Zero by 2040 target, these buildings must be retrofitted and electrified. Small business owners are uniquely positioned for decarbonization with […]

How can we open pathways for young artists from disenfranchised identities to connect and provide leadership to cultural processes and systems? How might we formally recognize their skills and contributions to culture, and further support them as developing artists and researchers? How can research creations sustain and grow community arts impacts, and promote more equitable […]
