This two-year storytelling and research project explores the potential of storytelling and arts-based approaches to build understanding about transnational trajectories of forced migration and re-settlement in Ontario, Canada, especially as related to experiences of refugee women from Syria and Afghanistan, and women displaced from Ukrainian since the war started in 2022. The knowledge created through […]

Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical and smoking is still, to this day, the leading cause of preventable death. Several pharmacological strategies have been approved for smoking cessation and nicotine addiction treatment. However, these strategies are not always effective and lead more often than not to relapse. Hence, new nicotine cessation products and devices are […]

The project proposes to unpack the student transportation system through a comprehensive examination of legislative frameworks, in tandem with the lived school travel experiences of families living with childhood disability and school travel practitioners. The research aims are:(1) To understand how policy frameworks (e.g., international, federal, provincial, and municipal) shape school travel experiences for families […]

Invasive species are one of the major threats to biodiversity in Canada and globally. It can be challenging to identify where and under which circumstances landscapes will be most susceptible versus resistant to invasive species, and not having this information can hamper conservation efforts. The objective of this Master’s project is to model and map […]

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and depression are large contributors to the global years lost to disability (W.H.O, 2022). RA is mainly thought of as a disease limited to joints, where there is progressive joint destruction due to prolonged inflammation. However, RA is a systemic disease, it causes inflammation in various regions of the body. The systemic […]

A large machine controls the depth and angle of the mole to determine the grade and depth of the tile for piping or cable to be installed. The plow is used for agricultural drainage, trenching, and installation […]

With recent advances in microscopy techniques for calcium imaging, scientists are now able to monitor the neurons in large brain areas of living animals. However, this also creates significant challenges for scientists who must make sense of the large and complex datasets generated. As a result, there is a need for new componential methods and […]

This research project aims to develop AI based models for predicting visual saliency in gaming videos. Visual saliency refers to identifying the most relevant and important areas in an image or video. This technology has numerous applications, including improving video compression and optimizing the backlight dimming of displays, leading to better user experience and power […]
