The artists and industry professionals that comprise Canada’s Latin music community are a dynamic and diverse group. Even though members of this group have made significant contributions to Canada’s cultural landscape, few studies have been conducted to investigate the challenges and requirements of this community. This proposal aims to address this deficiency by conducting a […]

The Cat-SPIRE vaccine reduces symptoms in those who suffer from cat allergy. Two interns will work on complementary projects that will evaluate blood and nasal biomarkers of Cat-SPIRE efficacy. One trainee will examine changes to the DNA in special immune cells called dendritic cells, isolated from blood. The other trainee will examine markers of inflammation […]

Following hospitalization, many patients do not return to their pre-hospitalization level of health. In older patients, the time spent in a hospital bed leads to mobility impairments. We propose to use wearable sensing device to register the time spent by hospitalized older adults in the bed and walking. This information will help to better identify […]

As the conservation sector moves forward to support Canada’s international commitments to protect the environment and honour Indigenous rights, there is increasing interest in pairing Indigenous with mainstream knowledges. Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing in Mi’kmaw as introduced by Elder Albert Marshall, offers a way to do this by leveraging the strengths of both indigenous and […]

While Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and related software development is growing with different opportunities, ICT related energy consumption is also dramatically increasing. In the parallel of this growth, it is wanted to minimize the negative effects by encouraging equipment that is sustainably produced, lasts longer, wastes less energy, used in an efficient way and […]

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) jurisdiction is one of the most densely populated areas in Canada, where urban land cover makes up over half of all land cover types (TRCA 2021). This has contributed to habitat loss and fragmentation for many species, which is a major contributor to biodiversity declines, hence the need […]

Wildfires continue to pose severe threats to ecological systems, communities, and economies worldwide. Early and accurate prediction of wildfire occurrences is crucial for effective preparedness and response strategies. This study investigates the application of machine learning methods to predict global wildfire events, utilizing the SeasFire Cubes dataset — a scientific datacube designed explicitly for seasonal […]

The proposed project will focus on the control of autonomous car, also known as a driverless car, which is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car. The research platform is an electric car with four wheel independent control. The findings in this project can be used in either […]

The objective of this project is to develop an automatic data analysis tool that allows users to query datasets using a natural language interface. The project aims to incorporate external knowledge sources via knowledge graph integration, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the analysis. The knowledge augmentation will be reference based using REALM or Toolformer inspired […]

Several popular OT security frameworks have been developed to help organizations protect their critical infrastructure and industrial control systems from cyber threats. Two of the most popular standards include ISA/IEC 62443 (formerly ISA 99) and NIST SP 800-82 Rev.2 (ICS Security Guide). The purpose of this project is to use an existing OT infrastructure to […]

The spine is an complex system of joints requiring refined motor control strategies to coordinate movement between the lower and upper limbs. Back injuries occur due to poor spine control during sudden/unexpected spine loading. The golf swing is unique to each individual, repetitive, and involves multiple major joints during performance, making the golf swing an […]
