Machine learning assisted quantum chemistry for Orquestra

Unsupervised machine learning has recently been introduced into the field of quantum many-body physics. A strategy based on generative models has been particularly successful in the data-driven learning of quantum states. In this proposal, we aim to adapt this technology to applications in quantum chemistry. The primary focus of this research will be on the […]

Patterns of course-taking and transition for Applied to Academic subjects: Bridges or barriers in Ontario Schools?

Across the province, students are channeled into academic and applied programs at the start of high school. Students in applied courses are less likely to enjoy school or pass the provincial standards for achievement in both elementary and secondary school (EQAO, 2012). We know little about “who” takes applied courses in Ontario and what opportunities […]

Targeting the ubiquitin system function through GID4

Protein turnover is an incompletely understood aspect of biology, important for various processes including adaption to environmental stimuli. Over 500 protein complexes (E3 ligases) are involved in marking proteins for degradation, but only a small number of these E3 ligases are well characterised. The current project seeks to develop chemical inhibitors of GID4—a key component […]
