Cancer management continues to be a global problem (WHO report 2022) – mainly because cancerous solid tumors (found in more than 40% patients, and in all types of cancer) become metastatic, therapy resistant and poor-responding to conventional chemo-/radiotherapy due to a condition called hypoxia (tissue with low levels of oxygen). Due to poor tumor vasculature, […]

Psychological stress could be an important indicator of comfort with a task, particularly for training in safety-critical fields such as public safety. Continuous stress monitoring emerges as a valuable tool for improving and individualizing training, offering instructors a more comprehensive understanding of each student’s overall task comfort and enabling timely interventions based on stress levels […]

With the increasing demand to feed the growing population, agriculture in Southern Ontario remains important, but the reliance on fertilizers has led to many environmental problems in aquatic systems. Annual algae blooms occur every summer in Lake Erie as warm temperatures and a supply of nutrients from agriculture fields wash into these lakes. As algae […]

Very little research has explored ultra-endurance running, particularly in females (15% of tested subjects). We therefore have a very limited understanding about human performance, and specifically female physiology, with ultra-distances >350 km. Lululemon Athletica inc. has sponsored an initiative ‘Project FURTHER’ whereby ten females will attempt to run as far as possible within a 6-day […]

Numalogics is a company that uses finite element models of the spine to offer consulting services for other companies, assist in the design of new spinal implants and surgical tools, and simulate surgical procedures. Currently, they apply pre-established loads to their models when running simulations of basic spinal movements. They require to assess whether these […]

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing, global problem. Our arsenal of effective antibiotics against drug resistant bacteria and fungi is quite limited and innovative approaches are needed. Focusing on cannflavins, this proposal will evaluate if these hemp-derived molecules with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects (1) are candidates for interacting with pathogen protein targets, (2) are effective to […]

Face masks play an important role in preventing droplets and filtrating exhalations coming from infected subjects or against various threats in the wearer’s surroundings. Approximately 129 billion single-use masks were discarded per month worldwide during the pandemic. The inadequate handling and management of single-use face masks cause many environmental problems. In contrast to disposable masks, […]

PCB stator motors are an emerging research area with cost and efficiency benefits compared to traditional motors. PCB stator motors with integrated variable frequency drives have the potential for significant power density improvements if Galium Nitride (GaN) power semiconductors are used in the drive. In this project, emerging high voltage GaN semiconductors will be used […]
