When students use mobile devices in a classroom, teachers cannot easily know if students are actively engaged in group activities or if they are distracted. For example, a student may be observing the activities of others rather than contributing to group workspace. Even though students are in close proximity, they can be too focused on […]

The objective of a fusion device is to confine a plasma and heat it to a temperative high enough for its ions to gain sufficient energy to overcome their mutually repulsive force and fuse. Fusion neutrons will provide a heat souce that’s used to generate electricity in a steam cycle. Fusion power is environmentally friendly […]

HIV-1 remains a global health challenge, with over 35 million people infected. The high rates of turnover and evolutionary adaptability exhibited by HIV-1 pose a particular challenge to the use of antiretrovirals, as well as the development of a vaccine. Our focus is to understand the dynamics of two of the most commonly tracked clinical […]

Traditional static authentication systems have a fundamental deficiency; it assumes the presence of the validated user through the length of the session. Continuous authentication algorithms periodically validate the identity of a user during the entire session. It relies on information that can be automatically extracted from the user such as biometrics and behavior patterns. A […]

Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. Our company was founded in 2016, and has grown to approximately 200 employees today, with headquarters in Toronto, Canada. Xanadu develops the full stack of quantum computing (QC) technology: theory, hardware, cloud service, software and applications. This project is in […]

Natural fibres have been used in many industry sectors such as automobiles, aerospace, construction, etc., but their use in the biomedical industry is relatively new. The major obstacle to their use is the lack of information on relevant fibre properties. This project focuses on testing three critical properties: antimicrobial properties, antioxidant properties, and water sorption […]

Synaptive Medical Inc together with researchers at Western University, are developing a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) platform customizersd for clinical neuroimaging. This proposal is to fund a range of student and post-doctoral training activities associated with the development and testing of this new system. The program will also support the development and testing of […]

Given the global challenge of greenhouse gas emissions, capturing and converting these gases into valuable carbon-based products, such as carbon nanofiber (CNF), offers a sustainable solution. This is the primary goal of this project’s industry partner, Carbonova Corp, by utilizing greenhouse gas feedstocks and turning them into a valuable CNF. During the production of CNF, […]

Self-Composite (DISC) Alloys Inc., specializes in large-format additive manufacturing for metals, with a particular focus on propulsion systems and aerospace applications. Leveraging advanced Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) technology, DISC Alloys has the capability to deposit multiple metals with precision and achieve high deposition rates (20 kg/h), enabling the production of […]

The intern selected for this project will aid in the scale up of inks containing biological materials to be commercialized by Tessella Biosciences for use in research targeting modelling of tissues and regenerative medicine. The intern will focus on process development and optimization, and on the establishment of quality control benchmarks and standard operating procedures. […]

This proposal aims to develop materials which have the potential to drastically reduce the energy consumption in large data centers by replacing existing copper interconnects with much more efficient optical interconnects. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a material that is responsible for the current revolution in lighting technology allowing full spectrum light emission over all visible […]
