At the grassroots level, Chambers serve as the Voice of Business to government while offering products and services that facilitate the creation of relationships between businesses, provide discounts to reduce business costs, and offer learning opportunities that support business growth. Many Chambers of Commerce in small communities across Northwestern Ontario are facing significant challenges in […]

The research aims to develop a device technology and software to recover surface information from a handheld scanner. The idea is to combine pre-existing object analysis technologies with a local device capable of reconstructing an objects shape from data collected by simple (shelf component) electronics as the device is passed over the object in the […]

Distillery stillage is a liquid waste produced during the fermentation of milk permeate to yield alcohol. Stillage is an environmental liability due to its potential to create anoxic dead zones in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, stillage also is rich in vital nutrients that can support plant growth. The goal of the proposed research is to reformulate […]

When a concussion occurs individuals can also experience several different subtle changes to eye movements and performance that is difficult to recognize. To understand how these eye-movement problems affect the recovery process the goal of the study is to investigate if these eye-movement problems are a result of executive functioning issues in the frontal lobe […]

The proposed research project is aimed at developing an automated MR-processing pipeline for pre-clinical neuroimaging. This pipeline will address some of the existing issues associated with current methodologies, and has the potential to re-define the world of early drug development, particularly relating to the assessment of neurotoxicity.

Over 3 million Canadian suffer from bone disease resulted from trauma, tumor removal and cancer and the number increasing with aging population every year. We plan to use hydrogels to create bioactive scaffold using 3D bioprinting extrusion method with potential for local drug loading and slow drug release for bone regeneration. We develop bioinks with […]

This work will examine a novel “smart” insole that allows for the quantification of specialized running metrics and will compare the outputs with the gold-standard measure of metabolic work. The insoles work by collecting pressure data from many sensors embedded in the insole, and sending this to an phone app. We are comparing the insoles […]

Viscoelastic Coupling Dampers (VCDs) have been developed over the past 15 years at the University of Toronto and by Kinetica for use in multi-storey buildings constructed with conventional construction techniques (steel and concrete). It has been shown the VCDs improve the wind and seismic performance of these buildings, leading to safer, higher performing and more […]

Semiconductors have been used in electronics for decades and are an integral part of every circuit. Because of this, evaluating semiconductor performance and tolerance in different environments is crucial. For example, evaluating a semiconductor’s radiation tolerance can be quite useful such as for the radiation detectors in the Large Hadron Collider and for the solar […]

The intention of the Arch-App is to create a mobile app that utilizes geo-location and augmented reality technologies to access data (including imagery, videos, and text) on building projects throughout the city in real time. The infrastructure of the Arch-App effectively provides users a resources (ranging from historic imagery to notable interviews) and tour guides […]

My proposed internship is part of a larger research project, my thesis. In my research, I present the first critical, academic discourse on Youval Shimoni’s body of work through an examination of the concepts and aspects of space in his works, and their relation to Israeli reality. In my thesis, Shimoni’s work is mapped for […]

Two-dimentional (2D) materials made of few atomic layers, bring unprecedented quantum properties from their extreme thickness. The possibility to stack layers from different 2D materials into heterostructures is one of the most active areas of research in quantum materials, bringing a wide parameter space for creating previously inaccessible quantum states and device geometries. This project […]
