In this research project, a computational tool will be developed to predict the ground vibration intensities and frequencies during construction activities in urban areas and mining operations. This tool will help minimize the number of vibration monitoring sensors and arrange them properly. It can also reduce the monitoring time significantly. Furthermore, it will help gather […]

More than 100,000 Canadians are affected by Parkinson’s disease which affects the brain. It can disrupt the daily lives of patients as they find it challenging to walk, talk and express themselves. Current therapies to treat Parkinson’s disease provide symptomatic relief and are not effective. A protein called alpha synuclein is known to promote brain […]

The proposed project is to combine digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT), which can be separated into two sub-tasks. The first one is introducing reconstruction holographic algorithm to iSCAT image analysis, realizing real-time particle 3D tracking. Tracking objects along the optical axis in iSCAT is commonly done by comparing the shape of […]

The procedural justice model emphasizes the key role of police behavior in generating compliance. This concept suggests that citizens will be more satisfied and less likely to resist when police explain their actions, show that they work for the wellbeing of the community, and act respectfully. In the proposed evaluation project, the outcomes of a […]

Q&C is a pharmaceutical consultancy company which offers an array of services, some of which include providing guidance to ensure site compliance with the Good Manufacturing Principles (GMP), performing internal audits and helping drug companies navigate the Canadian regulatory landscape in all their operations. This project will aid Q&C in tapping into new markets and […]

At any given time, a casino has to decide which table games to present to its customers and what betting limits to place on those tables. Understanding that a table games is a service and that the table limit is pricing, this is a classic service pricing problem. However, the number of tables and the […]

In Canada, First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students experience higher rates of absenteeism and lower rates of school success compared to non-FNMI students. However, little research has explored this issue from the perspective of FNMI communities. This study aims to conceptualize attendance and absenteeism among a group of urban Inuit students in Ottawa who […]

This project focuses on assessing the commercialization viability of Rogers Communications’ investments in 5G technology, with a specific focus on smart buildings, smart cities, and smart healthcare. The project aims to support ongoing innovation projects in partnership with the University of Waterloo by evaluating their commercialization potential through qualitative research. The project will benefit Rogers […]

Railway systems play a vital role in modern society by rapidly and safely transporting cargo, goods and passengers. The project will build an intelligent railway infrastructure monitoring platform, and develop multi-scale railway maintenance algorithms to improve railway network safety and security, and promote a resilient infrastructure from disruptive events and climate changes. By developing technologies […]

Through a well-established partnership with Ottawa’s Children’s Coordinated Access and Referral to Services in Ottawa, this internship project will examine factors affecting school attendance problems of youth at risk of serious consequences (i.e., unsuccessful educational completion, behavioral problems, and unmet mental health needs, etc.), with the goal of better understanding the complexity of these factors […]

Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizes chronically ~50% of the world’s population, causing gastric tissue inflammation and gastric ulcers or cancers. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have probiotic effects against HP, meaning that they help alleviate symptoms. We found that 5 LAB provided by partner Lallemand Health Solutions (LHS) produce and release molecules that inhibit the growth of […]

Computer Algebra Systems (CAS), with their unique ability to analyze and solve mathematical problems, are gathering new communities of users, who challenge those software systems with more and more complex tasks. It is necessary, therefore, that the core engines of CAS to implement stateof- the-art algorithms. This proposal capitalizes on the research conducted by academic […]
