Our project develops novel machine learning algorithms for interpreting complex, multi-agent scenarios in sports analytics. The collaboration with our industrial partner SPORTLOGiQ will tackle open problems in deep reinforcement learning to build novel capabilities in sports analytics for ice hockey. Deep reinforcement learning is a breakthrough technology with prominent successes in games such as Go […]

The Sustainable Engineering Design Audit (SEDA) score is to be designed to evaluate environmental impact on the balance sheet alongside the bottom line. The ability to evaluate environmental use alongside financial decisions will increase green practices and pro-environmental behaviour. The score will use appropriate Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) boundaries through a cradle-to-grave analysis and examine […]

MITACS interns at 1QBit will aid in the research and development of experimental usage of quantum and classical hardware devices for industry use including, healthcare, finance, advanced materials, and optimization. Interns will have the opportunity to work alongside academics and research teams. MITACS interns will gain the practical experience of applying their knowledge for industry […]

A feasibility study will be conducted for a proposed tri-generation (generation of heat, electricity and cooling) using a Stirling engine and a ClimateWell heat activated chiller. The Stirling engine will provide simultaneous heat and electricity from burning natural gas. The heat from the engine will be transferred to either space heating, domestic hot water heating, […]

Replacement of fossil fuels with solar photovoltaic technology is an effective way to mitigate global greenhouse gas emissions. While solar panel deployments are considered most productive for regions of lower latitude and high sunlight hours, they can also be of great benefit in northern communities where use of fossil fuel has a disproportionally high impact, […]

Malic acid is a naturally-occurring chemical found in fruits such as blueberries, apples, cherries and grapes. Malic acid gives food a sour or tart taste. Because of this, it is an important food additive used to balance sweetness or salt. Examples of industrial malic acid use in snack foods are sour gummy candies and flavoured […]

Ryerson’s Synaesthetic Media Lab is working with Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group’s creative design studio, 4U2C, to develop several ways for audiences to meaningfully interact with live performance. This project is looking at how tracking sensors, computer vision, and digital displays can be used to track audience movements and/or emotions for audiences to be able […]

The main objective of the project is to upgrade the existing system at Cheetah Networks to make use of Canadian cellular CAT M1 monitored network data to develop innovative QoE analytics that can be used to provide actionable insights. The system will explore applying new techniques to capture in real-time QoE visibility into experiences locally, […]

Organic molecules are used in many areas, for example in drugs or solar cells. However, the development of new organic molecules with desired properties is difficult, time-intensive, and requires a lot of trial and error. A new line of research uses artificial intelligence to partially automate this process and make it more reliable. This project […]

The project looks at the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank to consider how the redevelopment of the existing network can promote opportunities for more integrated community development and cohabitation, while also improving access to food for vulnerable populations. The proposed method is to study the operations of the food banks by analyzing existing and new data, […]

This research is an attempt to understand a heat transfer challenge encountered in the Glen Dimplex electric baseboard heaters in details and provide recommendations to resolve that. This baseboard heater uses electricity to heat up an internal element which is designed to transfer the heat to the room’s air via a series of thin aluminum […]

Zirconium alloys are used extensively in nuclear reactor cores for key components such as fuel assemblies and pressure tubes. It is extremely important that the in-service behavior of these components is well characterized to ensure they remain fit-for-service. This work will investigate the relationship between harmful impurity elements, specifically chlorine, and the fracture toughness of […]
