The sources of ions in a particle accelerator are called an ion source. These are composed of a chamber with a plasma (collection of ions and electrons) generated inside. The ions within this chamber are pulled out as a beam into particle accelerator, where they are eventually used for semiconductor manufacturing, production of radioisotopes for […]

In today’s global market for chicken, producers of broiler hatching eggs face challenges in managing production efficiently. Traditional methods struggle with complex record-keeping and a lack of real-time monitoring and prediction capabilities. To overcome these challenges, we propose a digital twin framework—a virtual copy of the chicken production system. This framework uses synthetic data generated […]

The two major objectives of the umbrella grant are to 1) empower the partner organization to improve their digital capacity and gain insight into their data to support business growth and innovation. 2) Provide students with work-integrated learning experiences that expose the students to advanced data analytical techniques, data mining and machine learning. DICE focuses […]

As the economy in China has developed in recent years people are now paying more attention to quality of life. How people choose to spend their time and the social-economic factors influencing these choices are both key factors in shaping the well-being of the nation. Time-use survey, a statistical tool to measure time allocation on […]

There are many stressors contributing to poor health in honey bees. Varroa mites are by far the most devastating parasite of bees. These mites have been contributing to high annual bee colony mortality (45% in 2022) in Canada. Despite using recommendations on how to apply options to control Varroa according to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) […]

This research project aims to develop culturally sensitive mental health programs for Indigenous pregnant girls and young mothers. The project will create intervention strategies promoting well-being and cultural empowerment by collaborating with Indigenous communities and drawing on traditional practices. Through interviews, community engagement, and data analysis, the intern will adapt successful models like “Mama Pods” […]

The healthcare sector generates an enormous amount of sensitive data, ranging from patient medical records to billing information. The mishandling or unauthorized access to such data can lead to significant legal, financial, and ethical consequences. Despite increasing awareness of the importance of data security, healthcare institutions often still employ outdated or inadequate encryption methods, posing […]

Zika virus is an important mosquito-transmitted human pathogen endemic to tropical and subtropical parts of the world and was responsible for the pandemic in South America in 2016. In pregnant women, the virus can cross the placenta and infect the brain of developing fetus leading to congenital abnormalities and life-long sequelae in newborn babies. Currently […]

Vertical jumping is important for athletic performance (for example, basketball, volleyball), but could also involve injury risk if done incorrectly. Our purpose is to explore whether a stretching program of the calf muscles enhances vertical jump performance and decreases some of the risk factors for injury in adolescent athletes. Having more flexible calf muscles increases […]

In this research project, the intern will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for multiphase flow to investigate particle deposition in the interceptor-pit of a carwash. Interceptor-pits are designed to remove the suspended sediment in the water that flows through the unit. The study will reproduce the geometry of the interceptor-pit and use numerical simulations […]
