The research will entail the creation of silver titanium dioxide and cellulose acetate membrane. Their applications in wastewater treatment will be assessed. The different methods of preparation will be compared and the most efficient method shall be determined. Tests will be conducted to simulate wastewater treatment. Expected outcomes include: creating silver titanium dioxide and cellulose […]

Weight reduction has been one of major driving forces of research and innovation in automotive industries. Changing from the conventional Laser overlap welding to edge welding could save 50% of total weight of joint flanges of workpiece. Also, edge welding can significantly improve the welded joint mechanical properties. However, edge welding is challenging since the […]

Over 5% people across the world are hard of hearing, and require assistance in navigating public transportation/airports. This project attempts at automated sign language synthesis through a virtual avatar for improving day-to-day life of people with hearing impairment. The industry partner has developed a preliminary framework to conduct animation on virtual avatars to play back […]

In our research project, we aim to address environmental contamination caused by biphenyl and biphenyl ether, common pollutants from industrial activities. These chemicals, found in products like building materials and thermal energy transfer fluids, pose risks to both ecosystems and human health. Conventional cleanup methods often fall short, requiring a more sustainable approach. Our solution […]

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the third most used plastic, and China is ranked first worldwide in its production. Like all polymers, this plastic is made from a reaction that binds monomers together into a chain called polymerization. Like the name suggests, the monomer for polyvinyl chloride is vinyl chloride. The main method of vinyl chloride […]

We will investigate the skill of using several machine learning techniques to produce long-term (years to decades) forecasts for precipitation. The partner organization provides weather forecasts to a variety of industries and would benefit from more accurate long-term forecasts.

This research is intended to improve community safety and crime prevention in urban and rural Indigenous communities. Currently, community safety encounters numerous pressing Indigenous related challenges such as knowledge gaps concerning factors influencing safety and crime prevention within Indigenous communities, as well as efforts toward decolonizing community safety. This research initiative aims to develop culturally […]

Over the last century, continued population growth and industrialization have resulted in the degradation of various ecosystems on which human life relies on. In the case of ocean and river quality, such pollution is primarily caused by the discharge of inadequately treated industrial and municipal wastewater. On initial discharge, the wastewater contains high levels of […]

This project is meant to develop a Hybrid AI Platform for Streamlining Evaluation (HAIPSE) of applications assisting the partner organization, The NIB Trust Fund, in processing the two categories of funding applications. The NIB Trust Fund supports education programs of the First Nation and Métis individuals and organizations aimed at healing, reconciliation, and knowledge building. […]

TERRA FIRMA (TF), an InterAccess-led project, aims to grow relationships between arts organizations and Black, Indigenous, and Disability Justice-centred (BIDJ) communities by platforming, learning from, and supporting these communities’ techno-cultural knowledge stewardship, accessibility, and harm reduction models. The project will prototype and implement organizational tools collaboratively with these communities, sharing resources and knowledge within artistic, […]

Generating synthetic data is important for a number of machine learning problems at Mastercard especially in the areas of additional data generation for imbalanced problems, data sharing etc. The data is mostly tabular in nature and a number of techniques exist for generating tabular data in the literature. However most of these techniques do not […]

The overall goal of this project is for the University science team at the University of Ottawa and University of New Brunswick to develop high quality Echinacea products for Canadian and world markets in collaboration with Amway Canada. One objective involves phytochemical and pharmacological selection and propagation of elite Echinacea from the historic Echinacea germplasm […]
