This project aims to democratize access to advanced surgical navigation by developing an open-source, AI-enabled training and guidance system for ultrasound-guided kidney procedures. Built entirely within the free 3D Slicer platform, the system combines real-time tracking and deep-learning segmentation to help trainees and clinicians visualize kidney structures and plan safer, more precise punctures. The collaboration […]

This project supports MedMe Health’s expansion into the U.S. market by improving how the company communicates its value as an AI-powered pharmacy platform. The intern will redesign MedMe’s website and create new marketing materials—such as videos, social graphics, brochures, and trade show visuals—to clearly explain the company’s products and AI capabilities to American pharmacies. Using […]

This project will fund Emily Diemert, a Wilfrid Laurier University undergraduate student, to collect research on the intersection between safer cities initiatives and social policies in Mexico City. Emily will be an exchange student at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, in Mexico City while also gaining experience as a researcher on data collection, coding and analysis […]

Biofouling is the unwanted accumulation of proteins and microorganisms on wetted surfaces. Accumulation of biofoulers on sensors and microfluidic devices greatly impairs their performance in assessing the physical, chemical, and biological condition of natural and processed water. Failure to obtain accurate data on these changes and respond in a timely manner may lead to serious […]

The role of this internship is to assist in reaching the SSHRC goal for the Dreamcatcher system of capturing cultural data, traditional ecological knowledge, and traditional land use. This internship will contribute to the growing area of critical Indigenous research in Canadian planning practice and theory. Canadian planning structures, including heritage recognition and conservation, are […]

This project develops programmable micro-lens arrays made from soft, temperature-responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). Using digital micromirror lithography, the research will enable lenses that can adjust their focus through controlled shape changes. The collaboration between the University of Waterloo and Kent State University aims to advance adaptive optics for next-generation imaging and sensing technologies.

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 […]

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic compounds. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and detailed understating of organization of the microbial communities. The work benefits to industry partner by providing comprehensive information […]

The proposed research intends to develop a generalized approach for the remote control of untethered effectors with less feedback required for stable control. Effectively, this approach doesn’t attempt to control effectors directly, instead aiming to control a weighted distribution of possible locations. In situations where imaging bandwidth is sufficient for stable control, the controlled distribution […]

This qualitative socio-legal research focuses on the role of litigation at the European Court of Human Rights in framing and legally narrating the relationship between the Turkish state and its Kurdish minority, concentrating on cases having to do with prisons and hunger striking. It will investigate the arguments made by litigants and HROs, and decisions […]
