The Challenge Recruiters face increasing administrative workloads—posting jobs across multiple platforms, managing large applicant volumes, screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and updating databases. These repetitive tasks […]

This project will create a new framework that combines process simulations with environmental, economic, and social life cycle assessments to evaluate the sustainability of metal production and recycling processes. By extending current methods beyond environmental analysis to also include costs and social impacts, the project will provide a more complete understanding of how new metallurgical […]

Cortland Credit is a rapidly growing alternative investment manager specializing in private debt and public bond portfolios. Five years ago, the firm operated with fewer than 15 employees; today, the team has expanded to over 30 professionals. With this growth, the firm’s existing data management system – based primarily on Excel and CSV files stored […]

Research findings demonstrate that comprehensive sexual health education (CSHE) can reduce negative health outcomes and increase positive health outcomes. In order to be effective, CSHE must address the unique cultural, geographic, and social needs of youth. There are currently no studies that explore youth or educator sexual health education needs within the Yukon territory. SIECCAN […]

This project aims to create and deliver an online curriculum which will teach clinicians about the Women-Centred HIV Care (WCHC) Model while help ensure clinicians provide more equitable, trauma-informed, gender-responsive, person-centred care to women and gender-diverse people living with HIV. Women and gender-diverse people living with HIV often face barriers such as stigma, discrimination, or […]

This project will host a senior undergraduate student from the University of Colima, Mexico, for a 12-week research internship at Algoma University in Canada. The student will collaborate with professors and local students to design, develop, and test 3D virtual assistants for Virtual Reality (VR) environments that support the teaching of STEM subjects. Acting as […]

Corrosion—the gradual environmental degradation of metals and alloys—costs Canada billions of dollars annually and threatens infrastructure, transportation, and energy systems. Understanding how materials behave in corrosive environments is complex, depending on factors such as composition, surface structure, and environmental chemistry. Traditional experiments are slow, labor-intensive, and often difficult to reproduce between laboratories. This project aims […]

Plastic video laryngoscope blades are essential tools that doctors use to help patients breathe during surgery. Like many other medical devices, these blades are made from strong plastics but are meant to be used only once and then thrown away to prevent contamination and protect patient safety. This research project will investigate whether single-use plastic […]

The proposed project studies the vibration behaviour of innovative mass timber floor systems, focusing on cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors supported by CLT beams and timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors with notched connections. Using laboratory testing and numerical modelling, the research aims to enhance the understanding of how these floors respond to dynamic loads, including the effects […]

Direct lineage reprogramming (DLR) is the newest advance in the field of cellular reprogramming. It is the forced conversion of one mature cell type to another, without the need for a pluripotent intermediate, directly at the site of injury or disease. We have developed DLR technology to convert astrocytes into new oligodendrocyte lineage cells (iOLCs) […]

This MITACS project between the University of Waterloo (UW, host supervisor: Prof. Na Young Kim) and Yonsei University (YU, home supervisors: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo and Prof. Chae-Yeun Park) aims to develop a room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator. The room-temperature system can contribute to solving a complex many-body problem, since it does not require cryogenic cooling that […]
