The project will be done in the context of a collaborative project between Prof. Jorg Liebeherr (UofT) and Prof. Maryam Shojaei Baghini (IIT Bombay) on designing a low-cost, low-power irrigation control system, which seeks to address poverty and rural development in India. IIT Bombay has developed a sensor system, called Soilsens, for measuring soil conditions […]

Learning Systems are among the most popular e-learning tools in today’s education and training. Most e-Learning systems do not take into account individual aspects of learners (e.g., their goal, experiences, existing knowledge, learning style etc.).The primary goal of the proposed research is to offer rich adaptivity by combining information from a learner’s profile (e.g. levels, […]

Quantitative interpretation of magnetic data through inversion for general distributions of magnetic susceptibility has played an increasingly important role in mineral exploration in recent years. The goal of the proposed project is to develop efficient and robust computational simulation tools for the inversion of magnetization at a specified depth using ground/airborne magnetic data. A numerical […]

Sensory Friendly Solutions, a B Corp Certified, for-profit social enterprise is undertaking a project to improve accessibility and inclusion by establishing the pathways to deliver products and services to businesses and organizations that make them more sensory-friendly for their customers and their employees.

Burn wounds are one of the most common types of severe injuries worldwide and providing a dress to accelerate the wound healing process is a vital need. Among the materials could be used for wound dressing, pullulan, a microbial natural polymer, can be a nice candidate as an alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, pullulan’s affinity […]

Although blockchain is gaining momentum in the industry, practitioners still struggle with the technical aspects of implementing blockchain-based applications. This task requires deep knowledge of blockchain technology, a scarce skill due to its novelty. This project proposes an approach based on the combination of software product lines and blockchain technology to automatically generate on-the-shelf blockchain […]

Le film d’huile présent entre les dents d’engrenages leur permet d’avoir une durée de vie élevée. Des études démontrent que d’ajouter des microcavités de surface sur deux pièces en contact séparées par un film d’huile aurait des effets bénéfiques qui engendreraient une réduction du frottement, donc conduiraient à des augmentations d’efficacité. L’idée principale est d’appliquer […]

Il existe peu de données publiées sur les propriétés des matériaux composites, notamment à cause de la complexité des essais à réaliser pour les caractériser, ce qui rend difficile la modélisation de leur comportement mécanique. Dans ce contexte, une méthode d’essai non destructive pourrait s’avérer particulièrement intéressante afin de caractériser les matériaux composites et d’en […]

Semiconductors have been used in electronics for decades and are an integral part of every circuit. Because of this, evaluating semiconductor performance and tolerance in different environments is crucial. For example, evaluating a semiconductor’s radiation tolerance can be quite useful such as for the radiation detectors in the Large Hadron Collider and for the solar […]

My proposed internship is part of a larger research project, my thesis. In my research, I present the first critical, academic discourse on Youval Shimoni’s body of work through an examination of the concepts and aspects of space in his works, and their relation to Israeli reality. In my thesis, Shimoni’s work is mapped for […]

Plant produce large number of the bioactive compounds, among them Amaryllidaceae alkaloids has such potential. Those Amaryllidaceae alkaloids are extracted from Amaryllidaceae plant family. Galantamine is one of the drug which is derived from the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid pathway; and is the only commercialized drug for the treatment of early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Although many […]

Two-dimentional (2D) materials made of few atomic layers, bring unprecedented quantum properties from their extreme thickness. The possibility to stack layers from different 2D materials into heterostructures is one of the most active areas of research in quantum materials, bringing a wide parameter space for creating previously inaccessible quantum states and device geometries. This project […]
