Transition to a circular economy (CE) can lower emissions from the built environment by reducing material consumption and waste generation. Because of this, CE policies and adoption of CE practices are increasingly being seen across the globe. This project assesses the current state of transition to a CE in the Canadian and UK built environments, […]

The SportChek / Atmosphere banners of Canadian Tire Corp. have over 200 corporately operated retail stores across Canada that vary in size and market demographics selling an assortment of footwear, athletic apparel, and sporting goods. The inherent complexity of the business on top of variation of customer demand year to year makes store labour planning […]

The City of Brantford is interested in understanding its community better with respect to how recreation centres, pools, parks and trails, neighbourhood associations are utilized by members. Surveys will be distributed across the community at events in the late summer and early fall. Part of the proposed work will be to engage directly with those […]

Sequent AI is a consolidation focused on acquiring technology companies in both the operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) spaces. Through this approach Sequent AI aims to provide solutions that bridge the gap between OT and IT technologies. This project will go hand in hand with Sequent’s mandate as it will assess opportunity for […]

This project will focus on the design, creation and validation of a model to forecast replacement requirements within the Muratec MW200 lathes. The overall project objective is to produce a model defining the relationship between machine state and upcoming maintenance needs. The primary focus is a turning machine (automated lathe) that has a selection of […]

Using the principle of the serious leisure pursuit information studies framework, this ethnographic research project explores set-up approaches to bullet journaling. By exploring the materiality of the bullet journal, and how journaling hobbyists create and maintain their social worlds, this research project seeks to improve understanding on the sub-cultures in journaling communities. Through this, it […]

Drugs act by binding to a target protein. Determining the three-dimensional shape the complex between a drug and a protein is challenging, particularly when the protein spans the membrane separating the interior and exterior of a cell. Cryo-electron microscopy allows these structures to be measured experimentally, but often the resolution is too low to aid […]

In general, Canadians are proud of their universal health care system, but an often heard complaint is the slow and convoluted specialist referral process, and the lengthy wait times to see specialists. An Ontarian waits, on average, 11.3 weeks for a non-urgent specialist referral and 7 weeks for an urgent specialist referral. (Keely and Liddy, […]

The project will develop a 6G silicon-based beamforming network incorporating optical technologies. Such a technology may increase the performance of the 6G wireless systems and to reduce the power consumption. The use of photonics to perform beamforming has a key advantage of wide instantaneous bandwidth with no beam squint problem. Since the signals are already […]

While most of her writings have been connected to a variety of political movements, her Canadian years have been particularly engaged with anti-war and environmental issues. All throughout 1970, Judith Merril was an active advocate for peace and sought solution […]

The Ottawa Hospital is implementing a new information technology application system, or Clinical Provider Order Entry (CPOE) system. The students will model and study all aspects of the operational routines that are affected by the technology introduction and investigate how these routines evolve and change through simulation modeling. Examining the process of changing organizational routines […]

Automotive makers are facing increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift from the use of more conventional internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Along with this shift comes a demand for on-board electronics that can operate at higher power densities, such as the electric motor. A less utilized, yet cheaper and more […]
