This research project focuses on the development of software for a device that can diagnose HIV and monitor its severity by taking a small sample of the patient’s blood. The software will count the number of immune cells present in the sample by taking images of the patient’s blood as it flows through the device. […]

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary adult brain tumor. Even with surgery, standard chemotherapy, and radiation, tumor recurrence and patient relapse are inevitable with a median survival rate of

It has been theoretically demonstrated that Majorana fermions in superconducting system obey non-Abelian statistics, which is the most promising platform for topological quantum computing. The success in this search might ultimately prove essential to overcoming one of the grand challenges in the field—the synthesis of a scalable quantum computer.In this project, we aim to generate […]

Cyanotoxins, produced by blooms of cyanobacteria, have been a cause of concern, as they have the potential to compromise animal and human health. Because of increased nutrient loading and climate change, occurrence of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms and their toxins are increasing globally. The presence of these compounds in the Great Lakes and other water […]

This research is based on the recognition that heat pump technology has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, while providing space heating, space cooling and domestic hot water. Both internationally and in the Ontario context, a lack of industry knowledge and capacity has been noted to be a […]

Benefit payments totaled 2.5 billion dollars for Ontario workplaces in 2015. The most common injury resulting in occupational lost time claims is a strain or sprain. These injuries indicate that despite massive efforts to reduce musculoskeletal injuries in Canadian workplaces, these issues are still a prominent source of disability and have an associated $2.5 billion […]

An artificial intelligence tool that is capable of generating natural-sounding speech can be embedded into many valuable services such as conversational agents for the disabled and conversational assistants. Such tool, when equipped with the capability of mimicking individuals’ vocal characteristics, will improve personalization of these services. In this project the intern will seek to develop […]

In a few words, this is a fintech data analysis project. The idea is, given temporal data of financial nature, to build algorithms that predict its evolution over time. For instance, the data could be certain assets prices, or customer buying history. The objective would be to respectively predict this asset price in a close […]

With the growing relevance of data, PwC has embraced Data & Analytics as part of its culture. The Tax practice, specifically, strives to bring value to market by empowering domain experts with automation and data-driven services. Among their initiatives, the Tax Technology team is investigating methods to evaluate the quality of corporate tax returns (T2). […]

The goal of Engagement Intellect system (at Deloitte) is to use conversations between patients and physicians and convert them into useful information. This is done using recent advancements in artificial intelligence technologies that can automatically extract symptoms, medical history, and other relevant information from the voice recordings. Besides extraction, the project will focus on associating […]

States worldwide compete in an intensifying race for talent, mainly for professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This project investigates how government and industry actors at the level of technology clusters (Shanghai) are able to use existing regulatory frameworks to attract and retain global STEM talent. Although China has relied on ethnic returnees […]

A telephone call consists of two communicating channels: Person A talking to Person B, and Person B talking to Person A. The two channels need to function in turn for the two to understand each other, and it usually results in confusion when they talk simultaneously. In this latter case, we say that there is […]
