Mixed methods research—combining quantitative and qualitative approaches—has become increasingly important in psychology and the social sciences for addressing complex, real-world questions. However, there is no shared standard for defining and evaluating rigor across mixed methods studies. This project tackles that gap by conducting a Delphi study, an iterative method of gathering expert feedback to build […]

Despite numerous system interventions, emergency department (ED) wait times at Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) remain a critical challenge. As part of an Innovation Partnership Procurement by Co-Design initiative led jointly with the University of Waterloo under the CareNext Coalition, WRHN is now engaging vendors and internal stakeholders to co-develop novel interventions that improve patient […]

Transport Canada is the regulatory agency in Canada that oversees the certification of RPAS (Remotely piloted aircraft systems) and has presented a roadmap for RPAS manufacturers to demonstrate the evidence that a given platform can meet safety objectives. The project will be completed by the iART alliance and aims to develop the technical evidence required […]

Prosthetic knees are essential for transfemoral amputees, enabling more natural movement, reduced energy use, and increased independence. Active prosthetic knees (APKs), which use motor-powered actuation to mimic muscle function, further improve gait efficiency, balance, and weight distribution—benefits especially crucial for children. However, current APKs are designed for adults and are too heavy and bulky for […]

The proposed research project aims to improve IVF (in vitro fertilization) by making it safer, more accurate, and less stressful for patients. It achieves this by developing a new, non-invasive method to determine whether early-stage embryos have the correct number of chromosomes. Instead of the current method, which involves taking a small sample from the […]

New rocket share technology has made putting things in space (particularly in low orbits around the Earth) cheaper than ever before. In this project the student intern will help to prepare a new type of small satellite, the InspireSAT from StarSpec Technologies Inc., which will have a first launch in late June or July 2026. […]

To date, using only electrophysiological data, Epiloid has achieved a classification accuracy in the low-90% in classifying drugs on their predicted ability to modulate hyperexcitability (as seen in epilepsy). This project seeks to enhance this accuracy by incorporating multi-omic datasets into Epiloid’s machine learning pipeline, which stands to dramatically assist in collecting a holistic picture […]

Haiqu Inc. focuses on building a quantum software stack enabling more efficient development and execution of quantum applications on near-term and early fault tolerant quantum computers. Simulations of quantum chemistry and condensed matter models are one of the primary early uses cases for quantum processors (QPUs), with benefits for chemistry and materials science. Important open […]

Surfactant Protein B (SPB) deficiency is a rare genetic disease where surfactant B is not produced in the lung, proper breathing fails and lungs collapse. The disease usually presents early in life, and unless lung transplantation is performed, no other approaches have provided long-term cure. Yet, lung transplantation is not an ideal approach either, as […]

Grenadier Pond in High Park, Toronto, is home to several turtle species, some of which are at risk due to habitat degradation, pollution and human interference. However, there is a lack of data on the pond’s turtle population, including species diversity, population size and nesting habits. We will conduct a population survey to establish baseline […]

Le projet cherche à étudier comment les projets de dynamisation des cœurs de collectivités (centre-ville, noyau villageois, cœur de quartier) peuvent favoriser l’inclusion et l’équité dans les cœurs de collectivités et engendrer des retombées positives pour l’ensemble de chaque milieu. Plus particulièrement, le projet se concentre sur les stratégies qui peuvent être employées pour lever […]

This project will train the intern in using artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision to improve aircraft tracking in airports. Specifically, the intern will work on automating the measurement of the Runway Occupancy Time (ROT) in aircraft, reducing the need for manual tracking and increasing accuracy. The project involves designing a multi-camera system to track […]
