Under the MADAME pilot project, collaborators from more than 30 European countries have collected samples of moss to evaluate their use as a biomonitor for the atmospheric deposition of microplastics. Under the Globalink Research Award, Mehriban Jafarova (PhD Candidate, University of Siena) will visit Trent University to collaborate with Prof. Julian Aherne on the extraction […]

Generative design to support complete community quantitative and qualitative analysis brings together growing computational practices in generative design with the urban design challenge of planning and building transit oriented complete communities using urban data analysis. This grant explores the importance of qualitative factors such as social cohesion in complete community design and the opportunity to […]

The proposed research project aims to understand the experiences of Ukrainian students who are studying in Canada as the result of the war in their home country. The project will investigate how immigration and education are connected and examine the specific programs and initiatives that have been created to support these students. By conducting interviews […]

The intern’s primary objective is to conduct extensive market research on the intersection of critical technology and education in Canada. The aim is to identify potential strategic partnerships and areas for further development. The intern will also create documents, papers, and presentations to investigate the use of critical tech in the Canadian education space, raising […]

Canada’s construction industry plays a crucial role in the country’s economy, but it also generates a significant amount of waste, with much of its value lost when materials reach their end of life. This research project, being conducted in collaboration with CSA Group, will develop a strategic framework for the circular built environment in Canada. […]

Deep brain stimulation is a treatment method for Parkinson’s Disease. This treatment involves implanting an electrode deep into the brain, which carries a small but serious risk of complications. However, a new stimulation technique, called temporal interference stimulation, may circumvent these risks, and allow for non-invasive deep brain stimulation. Temporal interference stimulation can selectively target […]

Glycerol is generated in a large quantity as a byproduct in bio-diesel plants, and hence utilization of crude glycerol for value-added chemicals (such as 1,2-propanediol – an important commodity material used in the production of polyester resins and pharmaceuticals) will yield both economic and environmental benefits to bio-diesel plants. On the other hand, the declined […]

Residency is a rigorous and highly demanding part of medical education during which time there are multiple demands on trainee’s time and often as a result high rates of isolation and burnout. This is especially prevalent during the final examination year of training. Several factors have been identified by students to be protective and supportive […]

In the proposed research project, linear regression, a machine learning method, will be used to create a system for estimating home prices. To pinpoint important elements that significantly affect home prices, the intern will analyse historical data from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). They will use this data to train a regression model, which will […]

A scientific problem (theoretical or applied) that the research solves. The proposed research topic is a continuation of scientific research on private law in Ukraine. It is focused on the formation of a holistic concept of temporal regulation of private law relations from the point of view of the institutional way of establishing private law. […]

The research project aims to investigate the efficacy of Improvised Active Music Therapy (IAMT) in assessing the motor and cognitive functioning of patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). As an emerging treatment, music therapy has been embraced as an effective rehabilitation alternative for neurodegenerative conditions, such as PD. In IAMT, the music therapist facilitates a spontaneous […]

The need for more sustainable buildings has driven demand for tall mass timber structures in Canada. However, these structures must be designed to prevent structural collapse and protect human life in the event of a large earthquake. As a result, it is crucial that the structural members and their connections be designed to have sufficient […]
