Implementation of Quantum Simulation Algorithms for Research and Industry

In 1982 theoretical physicist Richard Feynman stated, “Nature isn’t classical … and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical”. The goal of this Mitacs internship project is to do just that. This project focuses on simulating quantum systems on a quantum computer – a new kind of […]

3D in silico modelling of prostate cancer growth and treatment

Prostate cancer is a prominent cause of death in Canada. A better understanding of how prostate tumours grow and respond to treatment is vital; however, typical lab methods used to study cancer have key limitations. To compensate for these shortcomings, computational models have revolutionized the study of cancer. This research proposes modifying an existing 3D […]

Data-Driven Decision Support Framework for Predicting and Mitigating Structural Fire Risks

Fire-related events can result in substantial losses represented by injuries, fatalities, and structural damages. To protect Canadians, there is a real need to identify key risk factors that contribute to the frequency and severity of such events, and subsequently, devise mitigation strategies that prevent structural fire risks. The powerful combination of incident data sources and […]

Investigating the relationship between genetic mutations for neuroplasticity and the musician genome

The purpose of this research is to compare the musicians’ genetics to the general population to understand the role of genetics in how music training influences brains changes. Neuroimaging research, behavioural studies, and music-based interventions show that music training influences neuroplasticity (i.e., the brain’s ability to change and adapt) because it is a special type […]
