Euglena gracilis is a natural and abundant alga that is fed with food nutrients. It converts the food nutrients into a polymer called paramylon. My work is to use very safe science and convert the paramylon into all-natural food additives to replace the synthetic food additives that are prepared using unsustainable resources and hazardous chemicals. […]

As the underlying networks transition into 5G and 6G infrastructure, the optimal task performance across different WIoT devices with different energy consumption and computing power require coordination at both the software and hardware levels to maximize accessibility and minimize latency to support emerging applications. The proposed research will explore the various parameter space to determine […]

Membranes are becoming the dominant technology in treating drinking water and wastewater. Membranes can be made in various geometries, but hollow fibers are the preferred form factor; they can be packed more efficiently, reducing the plant size and they are often easier to clean than alternative geometries. Nevertheless, during use, membranes will become fouled, which […]

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a scalable platform that integrates devices over the internet and runs different services such as energy and facility management easier than SCADA and similar industrial control systems (ICS). These platforms shall be designed securely and manage devices in a safe environment. However, existing IIoT platforms are not secure by […]

The general goal of this project is to improve the downstream tasks by learning better representations of the data, especially multimodal data pairs, like image/text pairs or user/item interaction pairs. The user/item interaction data plays an important role in e-commerce, and analyzing these data can help improve the banking system, e.g., recommendation, risk control, and […]

This research investigates means for achieving net zero energy dwellings and neighborhoods through maximizing solar potential of dwelling units, isolated and in assemblages. This study will help the community planner to design an efficient layout to achieve maximum solar fraction. Optimum combine building loads in community will lead to a more energy efficient mechanical and […]

The interns in this project will use their skills in researching parts and products that can be used to achieve the subprojects that we set out to create on the micro-mobility car. In some areas the students may use the machine shop and equipment found in the engineering building on York University campus to create […]

Tourism growth has led to unsustainable and careless practices. An emergent response disrupting such carelessness is regenerative tourism. Regenerative tourism is a transformational approach exploring ways to co-create benefits with local communities and their ecosystems while providing authentic experiences for visitors. While interest in regenerative tourism is growing there are limited studies exploring the benefits […]

The African Caribbean and Black Mental Healthcare (ACBMH) organization was first established in order to provide individual mental health support to Afro Caribbean and Black (ACB) persons. This project will establish research and create content for the partner organization to use to further execute and develop an application directed towards the mental health of black […]

To develop improved User Experience and Analytics infrastructure for PandoPartner – a new sponsor tech platform that serves Canada’s sports, entertainment, culture, and cause sectors. Optimizing user experience by utilizing qualitative and quantitative research to inform the development of user guide and product design improvements. Implementing the tracking and oversight of analytics across marketing, sales, […]

This project will develop appropriate strategies for a “Smart Community” of the future with respect to the integration of food growing and processing spaces into the community. This may range from rooftop greenhouses, residential growing sunspaces, community gardens, food producing building components, etc. As well this proposal will investigate how food production will interact with […]

A significant gap in settlement services exists in access to higher education, specifically for youth with precarious immigration status. While education at the elementary and secondary level is generally recognized as a right for students with precarious status in most provinces, this does not extend to the post-secondary level. This Mitacs project is focused on […]
