Chronic cough is a persistent daily cough that lasts greater than eight weeks and affects 10% of the general population. It is associated with a significant burden on health and quality of life. In clinical practice, there are very limited tools in order to quantitively monitor cough. Existing products are too expensive and labor intensive, […]

My Ph.D. research focuses on coarse-graining using machine learning-based methods and analytical theory for building physical models for multi-scale modeling. There are many reasons for performing simulations on simpler systems. In complex systems with large scales, we are concerned with the effective interactions and driving forces that emerge from the detailed descriptions of the systems. […]

We would like to determine whether a modified version of LSD (TD-0148A), which does not induce hallucinations, has antidepressant effects that can be applied to patients with depressive disorders. We will investigate whether TD-0148A can change the physical structure of neurons, as other antidepressants do. Furthermore, we will use an animal model to determine whether […]

Despite substantial research efforts, the problems of spreading infectious diseases (such as COVID-19) through surface transmission and infections associated with medical devices persist. One promising solution is to apply a coating to the surface of concern that can provide effective surface disinfection. However, existing approaches typically provide only short-term disinfection effects (a few hours), contain […]

There are increasing numbers of people living with complex chronic health conditions in Canada. In order to manage their health and continue to live meaningful lives, these individuals and their families need relevant, useful information. Most online information is not delivered with this population in mind. The goal of this study is to examine the […]

Peer publications in the healthcare are many and held in silos. For researchers, the accessibility and utility of such publications can be problematic for a variety of reasons. Open access publication has addressed some of the issues, but the silos remain an issue. Electric Effect will provide a technology platform that breaks down the silo […]

Connected Canadians is a non-profit organization that helps older adults with free technology support and training. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for their services significantly, as our ways of connecting, interacting, and living have shifted to online. Connected Canadians has been growing its volunteer mentor team significantly to help meet the rising needs […]

The project I will complete for T&T Power Group will involve undertaking market research and creating a plan to help the business increase lead generation by at least 20% per month.

The project I am planning to undertake in this internship involves researching and analyzing the Canadian automotive warranty market to inform the LGM Financial future strategy. Consumers shifting to purchase vehicles online presents more difficulty for organizations like LGM to sell their products, as dealership salespeople have historically been key in convincing consumers to purchase […]

Demand for metals, including gold, is ever increasing particularly as modern technologies, including sustainable energy production, rely on such finite resources. As easily accessible surficial deposits in traditional mining areas such as the Sixtymile gold district, YK, deplete ever more advanced approaches to exploration are required that search deeper in the ‘bedrock’. However, exploration for […]

In order to meet Canada’s need for emissions-free hydrogen fuel, we aim to develop the Copper-Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical hydrogen production cycle into a pilot-plant which can be used to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of the process. An important portion of this development is research into how to integrate the Cu-Cl cycle with a waste heat […]

Current testing for SARS-CoV-2 focuses on detection of the pathogen via isolated nucleic acids, routinely from nasopharyngeal swabs. To our knowledge, no approved clinical SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests using nasopharyngeal swabs incorporate measurements of host responses at the time of diagnosis. Monitoring host responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection is important, as stratification of COVID-19 patients based on […]
