This project investigates the evolution of galaxies by combining observational data to understand how the intracluster medium influences galaxy star formation. The intern will query and prepare a catalog of imaging and spectroscopic data for galaxies in clusters. A key outcome of the project is the creation of a structured catalogue of potential targets suitable […]

Recreational fishing is a popular activity worldwide that contributes an estimated $190B USD in expenditures to the global economy each year. Contrasting the economic benefits of the activity is an array of ecological and biological impacts. Catch-and-release fishing, the act of returning a fish to water (presumably unharmed) after landing, has become an increasingly popular […]

Many reports have established a correlation between obesity and diabetes with cardiovascular complications such as heart failure. This occurs due to changes in the structure and function of the heart, yet the precise mechanisms responsible for regulating these changes in diabetes remain to be determined. This project will focus on the role played by a […]

Almost half of the languages spoken in the world today are in danger of disappearing, and the human and financial resources devoted to the documentation and revitalization of vulnerable languages are nowhere near enough to meet the need. In contrast, English is a required subject worldwide and English Language Teaching (ELT) is a multi-billion-dollar industry. […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de soutenir l’élaboration d’un programme destiné à réduire le temps d’utilisation des écrans chez les enfants de 2 à 5 ans. La stagiaire contribuera aux recherches pour établir un cadre de référence à partir de la littérature scientifique actuelle sur les habitudes numériques des jeunes enfants. De plus, […]

L’accompagnement des personnes aînées en perte ou à risque de perte d’autonomie et la préservation de l’indépendance et des relations sociales constituent des priorités en termes de santé publique. Dans ce contexte, le projet de stage vise à développer le robot d’assistance sociale T-Top pour soutenir les aînés en situation d’isolement social, en s’appuyant sur […]

Nearly half of adults live with at least one of the top ten chronic conditions—such as hypertension, osteoarthritis, or diabetes—and two in five people can expect a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. These conditions are among the leading causes of morbidity worldwide, significantly reducing quality of life and increasing the risk of mental health challenges […]

In accordance with the Digital Policy Hub research foci on artificial intelligence, as well as digitization, security and democracy, the underlying purpose of the project is to research the limitations of language translation technologies in order to suggest updated policy for international institutions to responsibly use them. This directly supports the Digital Policy Hub’s objective […]

Agriculture must meet the needs of the continuously growing world population. To this end, sustainable strategies that improve resource use efficiency (human, fuel, water, herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers), reduce inputs and environmental impacts, and sensing methodologies that provide actionable information are in demand. This research will increase the potential for collecting high-quality data in the […]

We aim to enhance AI learning of MR images by providing scans of the pectoralis major, deltoid, and gluteus maximus from young healthy adults to Deep Anatomical Federated Network (DAFNE). DAFNE is a decentralized AI software that improves over time through user refinement. Machine Learning (ML) models enable faster automated analysis, distinguishing anatomical structures and […]

This project will help Connected Canadians improve the way it delivers free digital literacy training to older adults. By observing, participating in, and helping lead technology workshops and other training sessions, the student intern will gather feedback and suggest ways to make the training offerings even more helpful and easy to follow. The intern will […]

A key goal in modern organic chemistry is the development of efficient synthetic routes to access industrially relevant structures starting from highly abundant feedstock chemicals, while minimizing the use of expensive rare-earth metals for catalysis. This project aims to synthesize urea-type containing heterocycles, which are a common structural feature found in many biologically active compounds, […]
