Despite significant therapeutic advances, the management of type 1 diabetes remains a major challenge, with current modalities unable to achieve, in every patient, optimal blood glucose control, while minimizing complications. Precision Medicine steers away from this ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Precision Medicine aims to understand each child’s health by integrating all the information they share about themselves, […]

This project aims to benefit society by improving accessibility for viewers who may not be able to receive sound information well from the media content, including DHH viewers. To develop and research for the project, it is necessary to reflect an in-depth and multi-faceted case analysis on the topic of improving sound accessibility. To fulfil […]

The intern will investigate the architectural potential and philosophical merit of Near-Living Architecture, a design that allows environments to be aware and empathetic to their occupants. To do this, the intern will edit and contribute to the upcoming Near-Living Architecture Monograph, a written work describing the vision, execution and future applications of research conducted by […]

The proposed project aims to explore the significance of advance directives for people with cancer in palliative care in Medellín, Antioquia. This study is crucial for healthcare professionals and institutions involved in end-of-life care. The findings will provide valuable insights for direct caregivers, training programs in healthcare, administrative decisions in palliative care settings, and the […]

This project aims to explore the mechanical behaviors of ferroelectric polymers, focusing on P(VDF-TrFE), through atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. By investigating the frictional properties of P(VDF-TrFE) and similar materials using AFM-based methods such as transverse shear microscopy (TSM) and friction force microscopy (FFM), the project seeks to uncover the relationship between electrical polarization and […]

The objective of this project is to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions aimed at denoising ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) planar images for the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE). The denoising algorithm has the potential to solve two major limitations of V/Q scans: long acquisition times and currently insufficient techniques for generating pseudo-planar images from SPECT acquisitions. Our […]

Starry stonewort is a non-native macroalgae that has invaded lakes across eastern North America. In Ontario, there is high potential for starry stonewort to expand its invasion of lakes, but documenting its distribution has been difficult due to a lack of broad-scale monitoring and misidentification by practitioners and the public. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an […]

The proposed research project will review data from CNIB’s survey of attitudes and beliefs of staff who volunteer in the Vision Mates program. The data will be analyzed for thematic qualities as well as for any correlations between attitudes and individual factors. It is important to understand how volunteers see the people with whom they […]

The proposed research project is an observational study that aims to explore the relationship between cannabis use and music enjoyment in a real-world setting, specifically within a cannabis smoking lounge. By studying how cannabis affects individuals’ absorption in music, we hope to shed light on the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. Partnering with Lit Research, we […]

In response to the dynamic challenges inherent in the gaming industry’s character animation pipelines, characterized by the labor-intensive and error-prone nature of manually labeling frame-by-frame data, this project endeavors to integrate Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) techniques into the animation workflow. SSL offers a compelling solution by enabling the acquisition of efficient and generalizable representations from large […]

The RIA is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and care of older adults through partnerships in research, education and practice. One of the RIA’s key areas of interest involves addressing unexplained falls in older adults, which dramatically increases morbidity and mortality in individuals with pre-existing frailty. There is currently […]

This research project responds to Hockey Canada’s acknowledgment of a gap in its ability to effectively understand and address maltreatment in amateur hockey. Given the pressing concerns related to maltreatment and their widespread impact on hockey communities, this internship presents a unique opportunity to leverage academic knowledge to provide timely and necessary technical and analytical […]
