ApplyBoard is a Canadian company that offers an artificial intelligence-enabled recruitment platform to help international students apply for post-secondary studies abroad. Embarking on a collaborative venture with York University, this research project aims to improve the application processing framework at ApplyBoard through the integration of advanced AI technologies. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, Optical Character […]

Spin control is of great importance for characterization of optical emitters in a quantum system. Colour centers are fluorescence defects in a crystal, which can act as single photon emitters for quantum optics. As colour centres can operate at room temperature in an ambient environment, they hold great promise for enabling future small footprint quantum […]

One major problem in the field of Cultural Evolution Studies is to find a reliable way to integrate the insight of the different disciplines studying aspects of the phenomena (have been identified as the primary “Grand challenge” by the practitioner in the field (Brewer et al., 2017)). The aim of the project is to offer […]

In the last four years, we have seen world youth revolts in the streets, in the home, and in school. The social response, is almost always accompanied by a tone of disbelief. Adults show disbelief with the adolescent’s desire to be plugged in to a device for an unbelievable number of hours. And paradoxically, when […]

The network of public spaces in Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh new urban development, Hanoi, analysis and intervention” research project aims to study one of the first new urban developments in Hanoi in terms of public recreational spaces. This project will identify the various types of public spaces that took form during the development of the […]

Cette recherche consiste en une étude comparée entre deux « nouvelles zones urbaines » (NZU) de la métropole d’Hanoï (Vietnam). Mis en oeuvre depuis la fin des années 1990, les NZU sont des projets urbains résidentiels et commerciaux qui, conçus, construits et implantés par des entreprises domestiques et étrangères ainsi que publiques et privées, visent […]

In this project, we study the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) model, which features a two-level system (an “atom”) coupled to a quantum field. In a previous publication, the UDW model was extended to include a relativistic centre of mass, which was introduced via a first- and second-quantised treatment of the atom’s dynamics. However, an issue with this […]

Hanoi, la capitale vietnamienne, connaît une forte croissance démographique. Les déplacements, autrefois effectués à bicyclette, sont désormais réalisés principalement à moto et, de plus en plus, en voiture, générant des problèmes de congestions routières et de pollution. Le réseau de transport collectif, en forte expansion, peut difficilement rivaliser avec le transport individuel, compte tenu de […]

We are now in Polytechnique Montreal studying organic electrochemical transistors (OECT), which can be used to detect the analyte ion concentration in the liquid environment. The nature of an OECT is to convert ion concentration signal to electron signal. In this short-term cooperation, we aim to integrate OECT with an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), so […]

The field of research exploring slippery covalently attached liquid surfaces (SCALS), formed with Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) brushes, is fairly new and is proving pivotal in creating economically feasible and non-toxic solutions to resist fouling and prevent ice adhesion. These solutions will contribute to a more sustainable future by lowering the energy expenditure required for optimal efficiency […]

The project aims to develop an interactive dashboard to accompany a report on the state of literacy in Nova Scotia to be produced by Literacy Nova Scotia (LNS), as a means of quickly communicating key information for policy decision-makers and internal stakeholders. Through a participatory design program, we will engage with internal and external stakeholders […]

Ion-exchanged or chemically tempered glass such as Corning’s Gorilla glass was a break-through in the design and production of high toughness glass. However, the pace of improvements brought in by this technology is levelling off. Recently, the industry has turned to another approach to product tough glass: the addition of small crystalline inclusions. However, this […]
