This project will be focus on developing a digital learning platform that is: grounded in the science of learning research; informed by established pedagogical approaches for supporting collaborative learning; responsive to principles of equity and inclusion; and based on principles of effective assessment to provide high-quality online and hybrid delivery modes of distance learning education […]

The project, “AI/ML Data Analysis of Fashion Consumer Trends in Social Media: An Impact Report for Canadian Businesses,” aims to analyze fashion consumer trends on social media platforms and produce an impactful report for Canadian businesses. The intern will employ and develop advanced data analysis techniques to collect and process data from various social media […]

The intern will participate in an interdisciplinary project on advanced manufacturing strategies for autoinjectors, which have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and reliability in administering medications. While the Epipen is a well-known example, other medications, such as Noxalone, use this delivery system. The scale and extent of autoinjector manufacturing in Canada are unclear, […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced children to quickly adapt to home-based or virtual learning; however, a number of researchers have identified challenges and difficulties with applying and using technology. More importantly, there has been a significant rise in the rates of mental illness occurring as a result of COVID-19 and children are now experiencing increased […]

Many real life decision consider a multitude of criteria, one such example is in healthcare where the patient’s condition, available resources, chance of recovery, cost etc all need to be consider when administrating care. An analytic hierarchy process makes the multi-criteria decisions by first converting the problem into a set of mathematical constraints by pair-wise […]

Machine Learning (ML) approaches generally consist of training an algorithm on a given dataset containing data which has to be analyzed or otherwise understood. For an ML application to be successful, careful thought must be given to ensuring that the architecture of the algorithm chosen is fit for the task at hand: some architectures are […]

Japan is a leading example of a nation with a rapidly ageing society and currently consists of the highest proportion of elderly adults worldwide. Among others, this has led to a series of downstream concerns, including labour shortage issues and reduced ability of working individuals to finance those who are retired. As one of the […]

Monocular depth estimation aims to infer the distance information of objects in a 2D image. It is an integral part of many computer vision tasks and has applications to autonomous driving, robotics, and virtual reality, among others. This project focuses on developing a new deep-learning-based monocular depth estimation method with high efficiency, competitive performance, and […]

The main goal of her study is to make sustainable polymers from lignin that can be used in three dimensional (3D) printing material production. The student will work on making 3D printing materials from polymerized lignin and polycaprolactone (PCL). At Abo Akademi, the student will use different monomers to generate composites of lignin and PCL. […]

We propose a solution to achieve a strong interfacial connection between FFF-printed materials and SLA-printed materials by utilizing an ester exchange reaction. Common FFF materials such as PETG and PLA contain an ester structure that can undergo ester exchange reactions with other alcohols in the presence of a strong base such as Triazabicyclodecene (TBD) and […]

This grant application is submitted as a matching grant for a ResearchNS funded project to support post-secondary student success for former youth in care. Canada is a signatory on a variety of national and international declarations on education as a human right, it remains unclear how these contribute to improved access to post-secondary education (PSE) […]

The project will investigate the cross applications of mining tailings and how they can drive economic growth.
