This project aims to support The Cansbridge Fellowship in scaling its operations to meet growing demand while maintaining its mission of empowering Canada’s future entrepreneurial leaders. By redesigning the program framework, integrating advanced technology, and developing innovative marketing strategies, the project will provide the organization with scalable solutions to expand its reach and impact. Interns […]

Large language models (LLMs), AI systems trained on vast amounts of online textual data with advanced language processing capabilities, have garnered significant interest in healthcare applications. Health chatbots integrate language models and various algorithmic tools to assist in decision-making, potentially revolutionizing patient self-management and reducing disparities in healthcare access. However, previous work has shown notable […]

Accurately predicting entrainment in free shear flows like jets, wakes, and shallow water shear layers is crucial for industrial, environmental, and geophysical applications, yet most studies focus on wakes and jets using Eulerian statistics from 2D experiments, limiting insight into this inherently 3D, multiscale phenomenon. To bridge this gap, we will conduct cutting-edge measurements capturing […]

Income-based energy burden metrics identify households in energy poverty as those which spend 10% or more of their after-tax income on dwelling energy bills, risking the inability to maintain thermal comfort. However, traditional income-based energy poverty metrics fail to capture behavioral adaptation patterns of reducing energy consumption to limit financial expenditure on energy services, especially […]

Feminization of agriculture is occurring in China through the rural-urban migration of labor, predominantly men. This phenomenon raises the question: Does women’s increasing participation in farming affect their capacity and power in decision-making regarding agricultural production and their rural livelihood? While little research has been done to address this issue due to the measurement challenges, […]

The present project aims to train teachers in the UK to conduct the “Making room for climate emotions in the classroom” program as they teach about climate change in their classrooms. The impacts of participating in the program on the mental health of children will be measured to better understand if this program can reduce […]

The proposed project aims to improve temporary housing strategies after disasters by developing a tool that helps decision-makers choose the best types of shelters, their locations, and their capacity over an 18-month period. The project will consider factors such as the type of disaster, how long people will be displaced, the weather, the damaged buildings, […]

This study is an ongoing project where data has been collected across four-waves using an LGBTQ+ sample. Using the available data, Isaiah will support this project by creating a research model, developing hypotheses, and running the analyses for this project. Once the analyses have been completed, Isaiah will assist in preparing a submission for the […]

As one of the most promising pathways to achieve zero-emission targets, Canada and Germany launched their respective hydrogen strategies. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) for green hydrogen production and hydrogen-fed PEM fuel cells (PEMFCs) for zero-emission vehicles are two technologies considered to be crucial parts of the future hydrogen infrastructure in both countries. Although […]

Les ostracodes sont de tout petits crustacés qui, grâce à plusieurs de leurs caractéristiques, sont de très bons indicateurs de la qualité de l’eau. Le projet de maitrise de l’étudiante a pour but de déterminer quelles espèces on retrouve dans les mangroves de Guadeloupe, un écosystème déclaré en danger par l’Union Internationale pour la Conservation […]

Dans le cadre de la transition énergétique, la demande pour les minéraux critiques et stratégiques (MCS) augmente constamment. Cependant, l’extraction et le raffinage de ces MCS à partir de sources primaires peuvent s’avérer coûteux et techniquement complexes, surtout lorsque les métaux recherchés sont présents en faibles concentrations. C’est pourquoi les rejets miniers, souvent considérés comme […]

Large burn wounds are a leading cause of morbidity and a major burden on Canadian patients and the health care system. Burns can be clinically treated by transplanting donor mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that suppress inflammation and regenerate the recipient tissue. However, the stiff culture surfaces of bioreactors stress-activate MSCs during expansion into scar-promoting ‘myofibroblasts’ […]
