Businesses are collecting more and more data, but they do not have the manpower to properly analyse it. This project will implement a proof of concept for a system that uses machine learning to improve the detection of cyber threats. The machine learning algorithm will receive information from many different data sources, detect where there […]

The intent of this project is to reduce the cycle time in the vehicle repair process across the Carstar network. The project also includes developing process models that will help in guiding Carstar to reduce cycle time in major process steps for all stores of varying size and disparate locations. During the process of investigation […]

Speed is incredibly important when addressing issues with computer security. The longer the time between the attack’s start and resolution, the more assets that attackers can steal from a company. There are various security platforms that can alert a company to a cyber-attack. This research project aims to combine knowledge from all these platforms together […]

For organizations that use the Internet, their employees will visit thousands of websites every day. However, there is a chance that the destination website is not safe to visit. Such websites may be fraudulent, phishing, or even data-stealing related. On the other hand, determining if the target website link is suspicious or not could help […]

In the recent technological age, new threats and attacks emerge nearly every day. It might be against everyone on the internet or targeted towards specific organizations and individuals. Attackers have begun to use highly sophisticated techniques and technologies to attain their objectives. It’s a high time, the defenders scale up to defending their infrastructure against […]

Phishing emails are a common form of a cyber attack. Attackers use leading content to fraud victims, such as fake banking information, forged Google Alert messages, and so on. Phishing attacks have been around for years, causing countless serious consequences, such as financial losses and confidential documents leaks. As of now, there is still no […]

Old growth forests provide important ecological services including carbon storage and habitats for a diverse array of species, yet they are often rare across the landscape. These forests are often challenging to identify due to the lack of concrete definitions of what constitutes old growth, as well as the lack of understanding of the typical […]

Individuals and organizations use weather information to help inform day-to-day decisions. This project focuses on the use of weather information by winter recreationists in the Province of Ontario. Based on survey data, the project will identify the main sources of weather forecast information, the importance placed on this information, and the influence of specific aspects […]

Iron-based nanoparticles can not only be used in sensitizers or absorbers but also retain excellent electrical conductivity, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. So far, very few synthetic methods are known to implement stable Iron-based nanomaterials. We propose to develop novel synthesis routes to produce QDs. In addition, we plan to develop surface modification processes to […]

Ontario’s 73 Community Health Centres provide both health and social care services to at risk populations. During the pandemic, Community Health Centres have had to switch much of their care from in-person to virtual services. This has had some positive effects (for example, by reducing rates of missed appointments) and some negative (many clients do […]

The research question at the centre of this project is, “how can culture planning integrate equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI)?”. The project will focus on ethno-cultural dimensions of EDI in culture planning. The project aims to explore how different ethno-cultural communities are engaged in the culture planning process and how culture planning outcomes impact these […]

Dopamine and noradrenaline are neurotransmitters that are released from neurons located in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus. Therefore, these brain structures have the unique property of containing high concentrations of neuromelanin, a dark pigment that can be visualized with specialized MRI sequences. The neuromelanin-sensitive MRI signal has been used to visualize degeneration of these […]
