Financial constraints are a significant barrier to sustainable practices within Canada’s cultural sector and especially within the performing arts. This situation has been exacerbated by COVID, with significant hits to economic impact and employment observed at the municipal level. In addition, physical space, digital fluency and access to technology are primary concerns for small/medium organizations. […]

The use of business process modeling (BPM) and analytics has demonstrated exceptional results in improving efficiency and effectiveness in various industries. Health care processes however, are characterized by uncertain, exception and continual evolution. This project aims to apply flexible, adaptive and evolutionary process modeling protocols coupled with operations research and other analytic methods to the […]

The goal of this project is to conduct market research and landscape analysis for potential areas that We-Watch may enter. The intern will be responsible for leveraging surveys conducted by We-Watch to find the best customer groups. Additionally, the intern will develop various customer personas in order to draft recommendations for which features the firm […]

The proposed research will focus on creating new technologies to enable commercialization of industrial hemp projects using nanotechnology. The goal is to contribute to new technology creating advance materials and manufacturing processes. The project will explore the utilization stalk from industrial hemp for developing efficient methods for manufacturing nanocellulose fibers and creating new products. The […]

The long-term effects of COVID-19 on individual health remain to be elucidated, with numerous reports emerging of fibrotic changes in the lung beyond the acute phase of the disease. Considering the reported cases of COVID-19 worldwide, even a small percentage of these patients developing lung fibrosis can have detrimental consequences on our healthcare system. In […]

During the proposed Mitacs Accelerate program time period, the intern (student researcher) will electrically evaluate, revise, and improve the integrated circuits himself designed for Peraso Technologies in winter 2013. This project will also include the design and implementation of a die package that hosts Peraso’s wireless communication systems including the integrated circuits designed by the […]

This research presents a new experimentally tuned reduced-order modeling methodology employing a hybrid stick model representation. Digital image correlation (DIC) is used to synthesize mode shapes within a frequency range of interest during Ground Vibration Testing (GVT). Experimental mode shapes are augmented into the Guyan Reduced Order Model (ROM) to develop a corresponding Craig-Bampton ROM. […]

Recently, a new foot orthotic design which adds texture between the skin at the bottom of feet and the top of an orthotic has gained academic attention. Adding this texture is intentional to activate the receptors in foot sole skin, to send this added stimulus into the spinal cord, and target changes in muscle activity […]

PharmAla have been focusing on developing MDMA (ecstasy) like drug compounds. MDMA assisted psychotherapy for treatment of PTSD received Breakthrough Therapy designation in August 2017. It is currently being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials. The toxicological biochemical mechanism of MDMA and MDMA like compounds should be better understood. Because of this gap an extensive […]

This project aims to tackle the challenge of finding different ways Viva could optimize its existing work processes to generate maximum results, as well as innovating in the human resources & operations domain. This requires the intern to observe technical insights such as user interaction and behavior, as well as traffic across various virtual platforms. […]

Through this Mitacs BSI project, the intern will apply knowledge gained through the Marketing diploma program at Seneca to coordinate with multiple departments on various pieces needed for the execution of this year’s Effie Awards, including but not limited to: case studies reviews, report generation, content creation, research analysis, and data review.

Police organizations are facing increasing costs associated with an escalating number of calls to respond to persons with mental illness (PMI). The processes currently in place to manage mental health in the community contribute significantly to the costs associated with law enforcement involvement in PMIs. The existing process is driven by the Mental Health Act […]
