Popular content-driven websites like YouTube, Vimeo and Soundcloud receive a large amount of content annually and are visited by billions of users world-wide. However, the majority of the content on these sites has little to no structure. For example, many videos on YouTube are only found in the personal playlists and have virtually no user […]

This project explores the emotional and cultural dynamics of artificial intelligence (AI) development across four global sites—Canada, the UK, India, and the US—by examining how emotions shape decision-making, productivity, and well-being within distributed teams. Focusing on the workplace processes of a leading transnational AI firm, the research addresses critical industry challenges in managing intercultural collaboration […]

La technologie des ‘sound zones’ (zones sonores, ou zones d’écoute privatives – ZEP) fait partie de la catégorie globale des technologies d’écoute personnelle, qui permet aux gens de créer des expériences d’écoute individuelles. Par contre et par rapport aux technologies basées sur les écouteurs, les zones sonores n’exigent pas que les personnes utilisatrices en portent […]

There is a significant ongoing effort in using photonic technologies to implement quantum information processing and communications. This requires proper supporting devices, such as single photon sources, quantum-compatible delay lines, ultra-high-efficiency detectors, and others. This project proposes to fabricate, using Surface Nanoscale Axial Photonics (SNAP) technology ultra-low-loss photonic devices that could be used to create […]

The project aims to create a mountable communication system, for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships(MASS) that enables them to switch between satellite and cellular networks like LTE and 5G depending on signal strength automatically. This innovation ensures communication for the smooth and secure operation of unmanned ships. By investigating market requirements and strategic plans this initiative […]

The main goal of this research endeavor is the development of a hybrid cloud infrastructure that incorporates quantum computing techniques into its design in order to increase the security, scalability, and level of usability of existing cloud computing systems. This specifically means integrating the more sophisticated aspects of quantum computing, such as quantum cryptography and […]

L’enseignement auprès des patients est un aspect crucial à la trajectoire de récupération améliorée après la chirurgie (RAAC). L’environnement numérique d’apprentissage (ENA), incluant un espace de suivi des apprentissages en ligne, représente un outil utile pour assurer un transfert d’informations plus spécifique et pédagogique. Ce projet vise à explorer l’acceptabilité, la faisabilité et les effets […]

In partnership with NovaceneAI, computer science and journalism researchers from Toronto Metropolitan University will continue to develop an AI-powered product (Journalism Representation Index, or JeRI) that gives journalists and media consumers a tool with which to analyze the sources cited in journalism reports. The primary goal of the platform is to provide an evidenced-based structure […]

Quantum memories are key components in the development of a quantum network. Among their many uses, these memories will facilitate the synchronization of quantum signals at repeater nodes, which are a crucial technology for extending the long-distance reach of quantum communications. Quantum memories facilitate the transfer of quantum information from electromagnetic signals into matter-based quantum […]

Using a verification-based approach for database storage backends has the potential to avoid such bugs, but specifying the complexity of a modern backend upfront is a daunting task. To decompose the problem into smaller pieces, we base our approach on the following insights: (1) There are two broad classes of backends: eager, state-based maps, vs. […]

Lagoons are the most popular wastewater treatment technology in Canada with hundreds of installations across the country. Most of these systems will require upgrades in order to increase their treatment capacity or to comply with new regulations such as the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations registered by the Government of Canada. Bionest is developing at the […]

The project aims to optimize memory management in operating systems by allowing user-space applications to design custom memory eviction policies. Traditional memory management policies, embedded in operating systems, often perform well on average but fail to deliver optimal performance for specific applications. This research will explore the use of eBPF technology to create more tailored […]
