In this Mitacs project, the BSI intern will work with the University of Toronto’s Urban Climate Action Project (UCAP) and with Social Innovation Canada to distill and build on insights gleaned from jurisdictional scans, environmental reports, and other outputs produced by the University of Toronto’s Sustainability in a Living Lab course cohort and previous ones. […]

Welding plays an important role in fabrication and assembly manufacturing. Selecting the appropriate process of electric arc welding is a task assigned to the experience of those who manufacture. The materials selection for applications is as important as the selection of the manufacturing process. The consequences of not perceiving this scope cause affectation in the […]

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has shown a great potential in cancer detection, tissue characterization, and therapeutic applications. Compact, portable, cheap, and high frequency, but low-power, Laser Diode has been a new venue for PA imaging. Laser diode-based PA imaging can be a supplement for image guidance during prostate studies and nerve or cancer imaging procedure or […]

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) is increasingly used in research to map the microstructure and composition of the brain non-invasively. In contrast to conventional “weighted” MR imaging, qMRI requires the acquisition of several images with different contrast weightings. The data at each voxel is subsequently fit to a signal equation to extract features of the […]

Drawing to Inclusion is an investigation that will propose a tool/approach to facilitate user’s involvement in the housing design process. AIR studio alongside Design for Inclusion, a research-to-action initiative, are seeking new methods with which to interface people’s lived-experience with the spaces in which they live.

The Niagara Escarpment is a dominant natural feature in southern Ontario and provides the region with exceptional sites of natural beauty including numerous waterfalls and exposed rocky cliffs. There is little data on geomorphic characteristics of rivers along the escarpment and their sensitivity to erosion under future land development and climate change. The proposed project […]

This project aims to uncover key trends in the education technology industry, examining EdTech companies of various sizes (start-ups to multinational corporations) within the Asia Pacific region. Through this project, the intern will collect data around emerging and established EdTech companies in the fastest-growing EdTech region of the world with the purpose of publishing their […]

Le projet consiste à développer une nouvelle génération de magnétomètre qui mesure les propriétés magnétiques d’un matériau. Cet appareil consiste à faire osciller un échantillon de matériau dans un tube d’une bobine de détection à une autre. Ce présent stage se concentrera d’abord sur le contrôle du mouvement vertical de l’échantillon. Cela implique la conception […]
