Secure Traceable Digital Datasets for Research and AI

This project makes it possible for Canadian researchers to share secure and traceable datasets between large computing systems in Canada. These traceable datasets can be used to further reproducible science by allowing everyone in the scientific community to know where the dataset used for experiments is from and that it has not been altered. Traceable […]

Development of a Radioactivity Transport Code to Support the CANDU Industry

Knowledge of corrosion products and radioactivity transport in nuclear reactors is necessary to minimize radiation dose to station workers during maintenance activities. Modelling radioactivity transport can also be used predictively to assess how changes to station chemistry affect radiation fields. The objective of this project is to develop a new code in Python, leveraging the […]

Physics Informed Neural Networks – Exploring the Future of Computational Electromagnetics

Computational electromagnetics (CEM) is a field of research devoted to simulating the complicated electromagnetic systems foundational in our technology, security, and exploration. Historically, problems have been solved by breaking them into many small pieces that can be solved by a computer; an approach that makes it difficult to solve very complicated problems. Today, a new […]

Advancing Automated Construction: Pose Estimation with Fiducial Markers

This project will develop a prototype technology to guide cranes to automatically place building elements using visual reference markers (QR codes). Working with Sparkbird, the R&D arm of WZMH, two interns will develop a software application to estimate the relative positions of the element to be placed with existing elements and the crane, allowing for […]

Mise au point d’un bioréacteur par perfusion pour permettre de la culture cellulaire en 3D à l’échelle du centimètre

Un défi dans le domaine médical est de pouvoir réparer ou remplacer des organes non fonctionnels. Actuellement la solution à ce problème est la transplantation d’organe entre un donneur et un receveur. Cette solution est fonctionnelle mais pose certains problèmes comme le manque de donneurs et la compatibilité entre donneur/receveur. Une solution à ces problèmes […]

An intelligent framework for scalable sign language synthesis

Over 5% people across the world are hard of hearing, and require assistance in navigating public transportation/airports. This project attempts at automated sign language synthesis through a virtual avatar for improving day-to-day life of people with hearing impairment. The industry partner has developed a preliminary framework to conduct animation on virtual avatars to play back […]

Advancing Community Safety: A Comprehensive Exploration and Development of Culturally Relevant Strategies for Rural and Urban Indigenous Communities

This research is intended to improve community safety and crime prevention in urban and rural Indigenous communities. Currently, community safety encounters numerous pressing Indigenous related challenges such as knowledge gaps concerning factors influencing safety and crime prevention within Indigenous communities, as well as efforts toward decolonizing community safety. This research initiative aims to develop culturally […]

The effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) daily therapy duration on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy when used in conjunction with clear aligner orthodontic treatment has been shown in clinical studies literature to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, reduce orthodontically induced tooth root resorption, and shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment. In-market use of LIPUS technology as an adjunct the clear aligners has grown significantly […]
