This project will result in the generation of mathematical models that will predict the quality and sustainability of protein-based ingredients that are commonly used in dog diets. With the projected growth of human and pet populations, and increases in food production necessary to meet growing demands, providing Canadian pet food companies (such as our industry […]

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by a Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The current standard of care relies primarily on chemo- or radiation-therapy and surgery. These methods have several side effects leading to high morbidity of the affected patients. There is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic approaches that are more efficient, efficacious, and […]

Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC), are a device capable of generating electricity using the light from the sun. A traditional DSSC is formed by an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte, each component with an essential purpose in the overall functioning mechanism. Special attention will be paid to the anode, its components, and modifications in […]

Water contamination poses a serious risk to health and economic development in Canada and around the world. The ability to inexpensively and quickly detect the pathogen contamination in water will mitigate the risks associated with water contamination. The LAMP-based biosensor described in this proposal will be able to provide these capabilities, and enable fast and […]

Plant exposure to pathogen contamination can lead to serious health and economic risks. With the modern just-in-time logistics system, it is more critical than ever to have the ability to detect plant contamination to avoid the economic loss and health implications that can arise from plant contamination. Ecoli Sense is looking to develop a fast, […]

The goal of this project is to develop enhanced knowledge and gain applied experience through technical research, development and knowledge mobilization activities. The research topic is focused on adaptive architectures with a focus on computational design of environmentally responsive, intelligent, interactive, and reconfigurable structures. Working with Philip Beesley as academic chair of ACADIA 2013 and […]

The Marketing Intern will assist with generating awareness of InvestorCOM’s regulatory compliance platform in the US and Canada.

The project shall improve the status reporting and process compliant working within automotive embedded projects by connecting and automating existing tools, procedures and solutions.

This research will identify opportunities to leverage telematics data to inform policy changes such as safe vehicle operation and fleet operator responsibilities. It will guide the development of telematics data management policies and support key programs that aim to: improve fleet asset tracking, optimize equipment availability/utilization, advance fleet share, and promote safe vehicle operation and […]

Arsenic (As) contamination in rice paddies is a fundamental problem that can reduce crop yield, affect human health, and compromise food security. Moreover, rice paddies emit 30% of the methane produced by the agricultural sector. Aerating water during the growing season can mitigate As toxicity and uptake by rice, and reduce methane emissions; however, current […]

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a very large family of persistent anthropogenic chemicals utilized in the manufacturing of industrial materials with non-stick and oil/water repellent properties, Teflon, and fire-fighting foams. Their use has resulted in their final dispersion in soil, groundwater, and surface water, causing adverse environmental and health effects. They are responsible for […]

This project focuses on the visible minorities with higher education or work skills (e.g., international graduates or skilled workers immigrants) and investigates the barriers for these immigrants to find a job at their level of skill and education. More specifically, this research seeks to understand how much racialized culture plays a part in recruiting diverse […]
