This project has two main themes: The first involves measuring the benefit BiCROS hearing aid users gain from their hearing aids in challenging listening environments. Then, a statistically based qualitative process will be followed to investigate user attitudes towards their hearing aids and what contributes to their successful use. This information will be used to […]

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are an early stage, emerging, and exciting alternative asset class with 10x potential but extreme risk. Accelerate Financial Technologies believes that a diversified portfolio of NFTs, built through the Accelerate NFT Fund LP, can generate exceptionally high returns for investors uncorrelated to traditional investments in stock or bonds. The fund will be […]

MRI is one of the most widely used medical imaging techniques. The main challenge with MRI is its low resolution. This is why patients need to stay in the MRI machine for long scan times, sometimes for about an hour. We are developing a software solution that uses our proprietary quantum technology and AI to […]

Studies related to the gut-lung axis have spiraled in the recent year, especially with current challenges related to COVID-19. The role of an optimal microbiome status for a well-functioning immune system is now emerging as a crucial factor to protect against immune-deregulation and infection in sites distant from the intestine. Therefore, this project aims to […]

In this project the focus is placed on development, modelling and prototyping of a novel hydrogen generation system which aims to produce pure hydrogen gas at any capacity. The proposed system will use water as input material and external rotational kinetic energy acting through magnetic force as the internal energy source. At the end of […]

The overarching aim of this research is to develop fundamental knowledge of hollowcore mass timber (HMT) panels for long floor spans currently not attainable using conventional all-wood flat-plate floor systems due to the slab spans being limited by vibration and human comfort. The feasibility of HMT panels comprised of crosslaminated timber (CLT) for top and […]

This project aims to identify gaps remaining within the Canadian education technology sector. Although adoption of new technologies for the classroom in recent years have enabled greater collaboration between students and improved lesson planning procedures, it has also shone a light on the limitations of accelerated edtech adoption. The intern will spend her time analyzing […]

This project will allow a start-up organization to brand itself as a leader within the marketplace of accounting professionals.

The Canadian Bank Note (CBN) is interested in a laser printing solution to create high resolution colour images in the bulk of ID documents. One approach the CBN will investigate in collaboration with the University of Ottawa is to use plasmonic nanoparticles that will generate colours upon laser irradiation. These nanoparticles will be embedded in […]

The “Workly Law’s Startup Legal Tool Kit” Project focuses on product and marketing innovation in employment law and business law. This project will help the partner organization tap into the underutilized resources in the startup space, innovate and set them apart from their competition. The goal of this project is to create several innovative products. […]

Exercise induced inflammation and subsequently free radical production are necessary for exercise recovery. However, excess inflammation may be detrimental to exercise performance and can contribute to degenerative inflammatory conditions such as arthritis in equine athletes. Algae, specifically Spirulina, has the potential to reduce the risk of degenerative disease without impeding post-exercise recovery and adaptation. Spirulina […]

The TRANSFORM Project comprises a global network of researchers located in eight different countries and 11 universities. This network is committed to building the capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to accelerate the transition to sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon communities. SMEs possess great potential to shape and transform the cities and communities in which […]
