The profitability of dairy production is based on the ability of the animal to have high milk production, good health and good fertility. A major challenge for dairy producers is to select for high performing animals and avoid the undesirable correlated response between production and other traits. The proposed research includes the imputation of newly […]

Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) affect up to 50% of the female population and include stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The non-surgical treatment for POP and SUI is pessaries, which are intravaginal devices, fitted through trial-and-error. While pessaries are an effective treatment option, many patients will have to try multiple pessaries before […]

In this project, a microfluidic sensor will be developed for bacteria detection in water. The microfluidic device enables in-situ synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) membranes with bacteria imprinted cavities. The sensor works based on bounding the target bacteria to the MIP membrane, thereby altering the electrochemical signal which will be measured using in-situ fabricated […]

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition affecting thousands of individuals each year. Due to the diverse set of symptoms and progressive nature of the disease, individuals with PD may require ample support from local healthcare facilities, health care providers and informal care partners. Due to the demands of the informal care partner role, it […]

This research project will seek to investigate the effect of Noa’s pro-resolution therapeutic drug compounds on keratinocyte and fibroblast cell migration as it relates to dermal wound closure. This project will investigate the impact of the therapeutic drugs on skin cell viability proliferation, and mobility using a multitude of different assays. In better understand how […]

Depuis la découverte théorique puis expérimentale de l’intrication au milieu du 20e siècle, la Théorique de l’Information Quantique connait un essor fulgurant. En effet, l’intrication est une relation puissante liant certaines paires de particules dans la Nature, et elle est à la base d’algorithmes quantiques puissants, innovants et prometteurs, lesquels mènent à ce que Google […]

Environmental education programs have become widely accepted and implemented throughout Ontario elementary and high schools. Ontario EcoSchools has and continues to play a vital role in providing environmental curriculum resources and support tools to promote ecological literacy, however research has shown that a gap between principle and practice remains. The proposed research project aims to […]

The Empathetic Spaces Partnership is an interdisciplinary research program investigating new materials, tools, methods and frameworks in the field of living responsive architecture, a new sub-discipline of architecture that focuses on how buildings respond to their occupants. The proposed research project supports this by having the intern document and be involved in developing concepts, tools […]

The proposed project aims to commercialize our innovative real estate platform, MyHomie, by launching the V2.0 version to achieve product-market fit. Our larger goal is to develop an automated process that allows homebuyers and sellers to transact with just one click. We understand that this is an ambitious objective, but we believe that it is […]

Standard microprocessors are not getting faster anymore, however, consumer and industry demand for faster and lower-power computing is insatiable. The project aims to research and develop a novel computer-hardware platform to be used for accelerated low-power computing versus the use of microprocessors. The new hardware platform, called a coarse-grained reconfigurable array (CGRAs), can be configured […]

The proposed research project will assess the efficacy and effectiveness of a generalized Sports Vision Training (SVT) program on varsity athletes through comparing the effects of a 10-week program to a 5-week program. The SVT program consists of training methods aimed at improving visual perception and efficiency of visual processing. Varsity athletes of hockey, basketball, […]

The Intern will do research to identify possible existing and new gases to replace harmful gases used in refrigeration, automotive air conditioning and other similar industrial and consumer uses that are known to deplete the ozone layer or are ‘super-greenhouse gases’. Through literature searches and primary interviews with manufacturers, the student will prepare an analysis […]
