Chemotherapy is the most commonly used method for treating different cancer types that involves the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs, leading to the death of cancer cells. However, the non-uniform distribution of chemotherapeutic drugs within the tumor and systemic toxicity has multiple side effects, and the delivery problem remains unsolved. Drug delivery carriers such as liposomes […]

The proposed research would use AI to create an application called Barrelfish that will help in the recruitment process. The project focuses on lowering the time it takes to discover data, screen applicants, and retrieve recommendations. Clients will be able to select employees based on their skills, abilities, and experiences, as well as conduct virtual […]

The selective and direct metallization (electroless plating) of low-cost FFF 3D printed objects will be investigated in this research project. After 3D printing, the workpiece will be directly subjected to the electroless plating process (skipping the etching and catalyzation steps). We show that conventional low-cost conductive composite filaments loaded with metals can be used for […]

With the ultimate goal of enhancing Nexxt Intelligence’s market research SaaS platform, inca, this project will create a robust, scalable algorithm for clustering consumer utterances into groups which are useful to ad-hoc market research objectives, and interpretable via natural language descriptions to market researchers. Due to the multifaceted and nuanced nature of consumer opinions and […]

The proposed Creativity and Sustainability post-doctoral fellowship will be situated at Mass Culture (MC), and executed in cooperation with University of Toronto Scarborough’s (UTSC) Urban Just Transitions (UJT). Over the years, MC and the scholars involved in UJT have experimented with various forms of community-engaged methods in order to generate impactful research that will inform […]

Computer Games are one of the key use cases of graphics cards of AMD. To ensure highest quality and performance, extensive testing of graphics hardware and software is required. However, much of this gameplay testing is manual and requires significant efforts due to varying styles in games and their versions. In this context, an open […]

This Mitacs project will undertake bridge inspections of 33 road bridges in Ontario to determine locations and level of damages in these bridges and suggest appropriate rehabilitation techniques to keep these bridges in service. The data collected will be added to the current pool of similar data already collected by the industry partner, MEDA to […]

These are challenging times for healthcare leaders. Since the pandemic, it has become abundantly clear that healthcare is at a tipping point. With burnout, retirements, and resignations, healthcare leadership positions are now more available than ever. CHLNet and LEADs Change have studied leadership during COVID-19 and have highlighted the demands on leadership and the need […]

Sleep is crucial for the formation of novel memories, and it underpins much of our psychological well-being. Unfortunately, millions of Canadians suffer from sleep difficulties, which are especially prevalent among women and populations with low education and income. These difficulties result in poorer cognitive performance and reduced well-being. Finding solutions to these difficulties is often […]

1) Recommender System : With most modern services and products now being offered predominately online, it can be hard to get to know your customers. Unlike running a local store where you get to see each person, online businesses can struggle to understand their users’ expectations. The project’s goal is to improve the customer experience […]

A new load-bearing precast concrete wall panel system has been proposed that uses composite materials instead of steel for reinforcement to reduce the level of heat loss through them and increase their R-Value. The panels will undergo destructive structural testing to determine how well the composite material system compares to a similar wall design that […]
