Strengthening capacity of Canadian civil society organizations and their partners in the Global South to address gender inequality: Engagements, perceptions and uses of feminist approaches in international development

The goal of this project is to strengthen the capacity of Canadian civil society organizations (CSOs) working around the world to combat gender inequality. The Mitacs post-doctoral candidate, working closely with the Canadian Council of International Co-operation, a coalition of over 80 CSOs in Canada, will examine how different feminist approaches are applied in international […]

Synchronous Collaboration in Multi-user CAD environments

Advances in cloud computing have enabled the Computer-aided design industry to develop fully-synchronous, collaborative CAD. Synchronous CAD is unique in that it allows multiple users to manipulate the same CAD model at the same time, and saves changes in real time—much like a “Google Docs” document. These new design environments engender real-time collaboration and are touted to be the […]

Accelerate development of new technologies and applications for advanced water treatment

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and for remediation of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life […]

Atmospheric Copper Leaching in Oxygen Supersaturated Solutions: Evaluating the Application of Ultrasonic Oxygen Solubilization in Copper Leaching

The project has been defined to address the growing concerns of the mining industry towards sustainable copper production with low cost and environmentally friendly process option. The current processes for copper extraction are either expensive or have detrimental impact on the environment. This proposed project pertains to the development of a technology that applied green […]

Improving the properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients by polymorph, salt and cocrystal screening

Solids exist as crystals, amorphous or subcooled liquids. The degree of crystallinity determines the long range order in a solid phase. Molecules when transferred from the solution to the solid phase may take many different crystal forms (polymorphs, solvates/hydrates, salts, co-crystals). Theoretically, there are 230 space groups describing the diversity of a crystalline material. About […]

Observations of Pedestrian Interactions with Driverless Cars

Automakers are investigating the autonomous vehicle as a replacement for traditional driving, not only to free up drivers from the task of driving, but in conjunction with a transition from owned to shared cars. In this scenario, people need no longer own cars or hire taxi/uber/lyft, but rather will be able to hire an autonomous […]

Options spanning in sublattice spaces

Market completeness is a broad assumption used in economical finance. It is in which any portfolio payoff can be replicated by underlying assets, or “basic” assets. The completion of markets using options has been established by Ross (1976), using other methodologies, and the relationship of options and lattice spaces by Brown and Ross (1991). I […]
