In the last 30 years, the theory of optimal transportation has emerged as a fertile field of inquiry, and a diverse tool for exploring applications within and beyond mathematics, in such diverse fields as economics, meteorology, geometry and engineering. More recently, it has empowers today’s machine learning research and become one of the most emerging […]

The field of responsible investing is rapidly expanding, with even greater attention on the importance of responsible investment with each passing year, as seen most recently in the aftermath of the impactful 2021 COP26 summit, where responsible investment was key focal point. Directing our financial resources in a sustainable direction has the potential to have […]

The topic of our research is to study how randomization is used to solve Byzantine Agreement problem in different computational models. Byzantine Agreement is a classic distributed computing problem, where processors try to agree on a value, but some of the processors try to disrupt the agreement or make sure that the algorithm never terminates. […]

The Canadian Nutrition Society is Canada’s leading society for nutrition professionals. As a Fellow, I will work with the Canadian Malnutrition Taskforce—CNS’ flagship initiative—to support integration of a new malnutrition care standard in Canadian hospitals. Advancing Malnutrition Care (AMC) was designed to bring best practices from this standard to hospitals across the country. The aim […]

Network intrusion detection systems play a crucial role in computer networks defense. However, most of the existing solutions do not take into account the time-evolving component of the attacks. Attackers are constantly changing the intrusion methods which becomes a serious threat and requires the development of adaptive methods that can cope with these modifications. Moreover, […]

Electronic Health Records (EHR) are the digital collection of a patient’s health information. EHRs can benefit clinicians, healthcare administrators and patients through the use of information technologies to manage various aspects of healthcare. These investments require sustained efforts to engage a multitude of stakeholders, and allow them to seek opportunities to automate, integrate and digitize […]

Create a Social Innovation Franchising (SIF) model for CMIM CMIM would like to expand their operations regionally and nationally to provide programming to students across all of Canada through what is called social franchising. The social franchising model is defined as using entrepreneurial principles that make up traditional franchising to create, organize and manage a […]

The Social Innovation Academy will be working with a network of Mitacs interns to develop national-scale backend infrastructure resources for incubation and acceleration organizations across Canada. These resources may include (but are not limited to): initiatives for advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion; impact measurement frameworks; In addition, interns will provide marketing, research, and financial analysis […]

The post-doctoral fellow will act as an academic liaison between the Stratford Festival’s Education Department and the University of Waterloo, including contributing to the Games Institute’s joint project on a series of Shakespeare-themed video games and apps, academic support for future Festival artistic endeavours, and development of the Education Department’s distribution materials. The Festival will […]

Galium Nitride (GaN) technology compared to the conventional silicon and silicon carbide technologies gives better switching performance in terms of switching losses and switching speed. Also, since GaN Fets do not have intrinsic body diode as in Si and SiC based switching MOSFETS, they can work at much higher frequencies in room temperature, leading to […]

Total hip and knee replacement surgeries are the second and third most common surgical procedures in Canada, respectively. Opioid analgesics are routinely prescribed to manage pain after these procedures, making orthopaedic surgeons the third-highest opioid prescribers in Canada. However, opioids are not typically more effective than alternatives (e.g., NSAIDs) and are associated with addiction, overdose, […]

The research proposed here will explore core issues, risks, and limitations to direct the design and development of a ‘youth operating system’ (YOS) centred on providing a safe, secure, privacy-preserving, and inclusive multi-featured online environment for youth. Any project that engages youth requires substantive policies, terms and conditions, and platform functionality that ensure its Users […]
