Many aerospace parts on Boeing aircrafts cannot currently be easily repaired when damaged during operation due to the lack of existing economical-practical repair technologies. For example, damaged aluminum coatings or chromium plating require that the coating/plating be completely removed and then reapplied, an extremely costly and time consuming process. Similarly, aluminum and titanium parts damaged […]

RecruitForMe is shifting into an online model to sustain its operations during COVID-19. A chatbot will be created to support this organization’s clients regarding knowledge of the Employment Standards Act (ESA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC). The chatbot will do this in the form of answering the clients’ questions about these legislations, in […]

Mushrooms represent a source of diverse medicinal compounds that have been exploited for centuries. Beneficial compounds have proven efficacy against disease, including anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-tumoral, anti-bacterial traits. These compounds, along with potential for new discoveries, drive the exploration of mushrooms as a powerful medicinal source and supports their application in the health sector to discover […]

The intern will undertake the development and evaluation of a novel gene-edited immune cell therapy for the treatment of different cancer types. The cancer immune cell therapy is a hot and rapidly growing field that has yielded success and clinically meaningful benefits for the treatment of certain cancers. Many of these successes have been with […]

The project aims at the modeling and simulation of the HVAC system for the study of energy conservation strategies. After the optimal energy conservation strategies are found through simulations, a central HVAC controller will be developed for the integrated operation of the Archetype House HVAC equipment which will employ the energy conservation strategies such as […]

Thin film deposition equipment is in wide demand amongst academic researchers in chemistry, physics, materials science and electrical engineering, not to mention manufacturers of semiconductor devices, medical consumables, storage media, and optics parts. Thus the size of the market can vary greatly from year to year due to its strong dependence on the health of […]

Polyurethane elastomers for consumer applications, are developed with primarily bio-based polyester-polyols, isocyanates and bio-based plasticizers which are specifically tailored to result with the required mechanical, flexibility, and biodegradability characteristics useful for consumer applications, especially for footwear and foam products for furniture and automotive industry.

Plant pathogens, including bacteria, can damage plants and cause significant crop losses. Among those Pseudomonas syringae is a major pathogen of tomato plants. It is now accepted that domesticated plant crops are often more sensitive to pathogens than their wild relatives. We aim to exploit a library of pathogens virulence factors to find new bacterial […]

COVID-19 and on-premise closures required the brand to scale emerging alcohol channels to adapt to changes in the industry and reimage how products are delivered to the end consumers. The overarching objective is to work on the e-retail strategy for Labatt and consolidate best practices related to brand activation, consumer experience, and last-mile strategies. I […]

Remote Talent Matching for Fit: The project will research the feasibility of a dynamic matching engine that will enable job seekers and employers to better predict the probability of fit to a specific role and context prior to face-to-face contact. The objective is not to replace human recruiting, but rather to provide a mechanism for […]

The current generation of cellular networks, i.e., 4G, made possible multimedia applications such as music and video streaming in the palm of your hand. The upcoming generation of cellular networks, i.e., 5G, enables new types of applications beyond what 4G offered such as augmented virtual reality, Internet of Things, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, connected health […]

Powder Metallurgy (PM) and Metal Additive Manufacturing (Metal AM) are sets of processes to produce net-shape or near-net-shape metal parts from metal powders, and so they offer material and energy saving. These processes, however, require powders of strict specifications like particle size distribution and shape. Water Atomization (WA) of a molten metal is a cost-effective […]
