This project is designed to answer the question “What are the key elements and dynamics of the policy environment influencing the development and adoption of protein alternatives in the food system of Canada and the USA?” This question is from a broader question of how protein alternatives are governed in the current food system. Analyzing […]

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 […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

This research project in Canada focuses on sustainable natural resource management, particularly in forest areas. By integrating Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Computer Vision (CV), the project aims to improve forest fire prevention and management. Collaborating with industry partners like Spexi Geospatial, the team combines academic research with practical solutions to enhance AI-driven environmental […]

This project explores the post-pandemic impact of the rise of convenience on consumer eating habits. As convenience becomes a major driver of the food industry, our research examines how this emphasis can obscure essential elements such as ritual, culture, social connections, impacting the perception and pleasure of eating. Our research questions target the influence of […]

With the development of imaging technology and research progress on wildlife monitoring, camera trapping becomes one of the best ways to record the presence and activity of mammals in a given area. The approach to monitoring wildlife can assist people in the community with decision making about preserving biodiversity. Camera trapping generates a huge volume […]

Modern deep neural networks have demonstrated remarkable performance across various visual recognition tasks, including image classification and semantic segmentation. The effectiveness of these networks largely relies on having abundant labeled examples for each desired category. Acquiring such datasets, however, poses particular challenges in the context of semantic segmentation, where a label is required for each […]

This internship aims to implement an advanced system for automatic keyword extraction from textual web contents. Keyword extraction not only provides a concise and salient representation of a document, but also can be used in web-based applications such as efficient indexing, intelligent tag recommendation, and contextual advertising. In this research project, a hybrid keyword extraction […]

The proposed research attempts to understand Canadian consumers’ perception toward sustainable product attributes of consumer electronics products and factors affecting the consumers’ choices concerning sustainable consumer electronics during product purchase. The study uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as its theoretical framework and further attempts to extend the TPB by incorporating additional constructs such […]

The generation of clean hydroelectric power occurs often in locations far from consumers. High voltage transmission lines that traverse vast terrains are employed for the transmission of the generated clean electric energy. They are exposed to various environmental conditions, including wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke has the potential to decrease the breakdown strength of air insulation, […]

Workplaces have an important role to play when it comes to promoting the mental health of employees. Whereas we have an extensive body of evidence about how to develop and deliver interventions to promote employee wellbeing and mental health in large organizations, leaders in organizations often face steep barriers when adapting those interventions in small […]

Many adults living with attention deficit disorder, with or without hyperactivity (AD/HD) struggle in the workplace with daily tasks like time management and focusing at work. Unfortunately, they often face stigma and do not get the support they need. Our goal is to adapt an intervention program to help them with their mental health challenges […]
