Tissue engineering involves extracting cells from patients, growing them in a laboratory setting, and subsequently employing them for disease treatment . However, cell expansion encounters various obstacles, such as significant expenses and labor requirements, resulting in increased treatment costs. Moreover, the industry struggles with challenges such as skilled personnel shortages and difficulties in scaling up […]

This project aims to develop and bring to market a point-of-care test (POCT) device driven by artificial intelligence to identify pathogenic yeast species from microscopy images collected from clinical samples (blood and urine). We will evaluate the efficacy of microfluidic devices to aid in the capture of microscopy images of different yeast species and their […]

The Centre for Local Innovation & Collaboration (CLIC) project will team up with small businesses from Richmond Hill’s Small Business Enterprise Centre. Interns from OCAD University’s Strategic Foresight and Innovation (SFI) Master of Design program will (through research) help these businesses with their innovation challenges using various methods like human-centered design, futures thinking, and strategic […]

Travelling on ice is central to Inuit well-being, identity and culture. Rough sea ice can pose as a hazard, or impediment to travel. Currently, regular, quality, high-resolution information is difficult to obtain from satellite instruments, but synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has shown potential in all these aspects. In this project, the intern will analyse the […]

BioAro Inc. is a biotech startup that provides valuable health insights through genetics and microbiome testing, helping people understand their health risks and make better decisions about diseases, medication, and nutrition. They have recently launched two new products: PanOmiQ, a software that gives quick insights into the human genome, and BioSport, which offers personalized health […]

The AIaaS (AI as a Service) project aims to develop an advanced, scalable platform to host and manage AI models, ensuring high performance and efficiency. This open-source system will leverage the latest AI technologies and distributed computing to deliver fast and reliable AI services. Key features include automated load balancing, dynamic resource allocation, and real-time […]

Many applications often need access to information from multiple independent data sources, including public sources found on the Internet and private sources e.g., hospitals. Software that sits between an application and the data sources, so called “middleware”, can help facilitate this access. However, development of this “middleware” can be very time consuming, is often only […]

Vers un modèle hybride économie-ingénierie des systèmes énergétiques: comment améliorer l’évaluation des politiques énergétiques et climatiques dans le modèle d’équilibre général calculable NAGEM, notamment en améliorant le lien avec le modèle d’optimisation NATEM?

This project addresses the main problem in utilizing Additive Manufacturing (AM) in industries like oil and sands and aerospace, which is the assurance of the quality of the part. This project is a novel approach to providing 3-dimensional thermal data from the 3D printing process, which can provide valuable data and allow engineers to delve […]

The project aims to improve the quality of 3D-printed parts by developing an in-situ nondestructive method that combines spectroscopy with Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). This involves using a spectrometer and developed algorithms to monitor the welding process, providing comprehensive material characterization during the 3D printing process. Implementing this in-situ sensor will improve process quality control […]

The proposed project, VisioConTech, aims to revolutionize construction site monitoring through the implementation of automated, real-time systems designed to enhance safety, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. Traditional monitoring methods, which rely heavily on human observation, are inherently prone to errors and delays, frequently resulting in significant budget overruns and heightened safety risks. VisioConTech leverages […]
