The two goals of this project are to: 1. create a demonstration information system based on an existing system called Dreamcatcher for consultation, land-use, occupancy, and planning based on the archival material of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation (MNCFN); and 2. use this system and First Story to preserve and promote Aboriginal […]

The Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition wants to be more effective at engaging both at the individual level and the municipal government level around urban sprawl. The intern will bring capacity and develop tools and insights to do this more effectively via a concentrated project in the lead up to the municipal election.

The project aims to develop a strategy to drive operational efficiencies across all of Viva’s core business functions.

Quantum computers are well-suited to a subset of machine learning tasks known as supervised learning (SL). In SL, a model is trained on labelled data to generate correct labels for novel data thereafter. Robust classifiers can be achieved in SL by using the “kernel trick”, which provides a more expressive metric from a transformed point […]

Plants are fundamental to the survival of humankind. They create the oxygen we breathe, provide the food we consume, and supply raw materials for numerous industries. We want to know how plants cope with stress. This requires a deep understanding of how plant tissues and cells react to stress cues, which includes understanding how proteins […]

Asbestos was once used extensively in the fabrication of a variety of products and materials. After being declared a carcinogen and linked with a variety of lung diseases more than 2 decades ago, the use of asbestos was banned in many countries. Yet, asbestos remains a public health concern worldwide and one of the leading […]

Advances in healthcare and research are published in peer-reviewed biomedical journals all over the world. Our previous research shows that predatory journals, or fake academic journals, pose a threat to this. Predatory journals claim to publish high-quality research, but they do not follow accepted scientific publishing practices (e.g., peer review, indexing). If health decisions are […]

This role is a critical and multi-faceted position. The intern will be an active contributor to the venture-building and studio asset allocation process. At the heart of FutureSight is a four-phase venture lifecycle – which systematically moves opportunities through ideation, validation, formation, and growth stages. New ideas are rigorously screened, market-tested, and validated before a […]

We are seeking someone who can work closely with our founding engineers to enhance the various methods we collect and process data from customers. Specific tasks will include conducting secondary and primary source research on data sources of interest (data silos). Tasks will also include producing validation that data sources can be ingested from customer […]

The proposal of the project Structure of Zero GHG Footprint Sustainable Community will benefit the community. The creation of the module design system using aquaponics methods, exploring the design of cooling system and thermal system will integrate the full process of producing sustainable food with zero pollution to the environment. As a researcher in this […]

The proposed work will involve the development of a fully coupled Thermal-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) model to study the behavior of cold CO2 fluid injection with surrounding rock. The numerical solution is based on the 2-D thermo-poroelastic displacement discontinuity method (DDM), which is a nonlinear joint deformation model, coupled with the finite element method (FEM) for solving […]

Bone graft substitutes are used when the defect in the bone is so large that the body cannot heal naturally. Tissue engineering involves the production of materials that when combined with cells are able to fill the volume of the defect. Over time, degradable materials are replaced by bone and the natural state is eventually […]
