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 […]

In bridges, the deck slab or panels are usually connected to the supporting girders using various types of shear connector like bent bars or threaded rods which make the interfaces significantly congested. For reducing this congestion, bridge contractors normally use steel shear studs. The proposed new research is exploring the use of double-headed fiber-reinforced polymer […]

The subproject focuses on the intersection of cultural policy and responsible AI development. The problem of data bias and automated recommendation are two known problems in cultural industries and AI development relevant to the Discoverability project. The project seeks to develop alternative forms of algorithmic recommendation that differ from the de facto emphasis on personalization. […]

Integrating Digital Technologies for Architectural Rehabilitation and Conservation will explore new applications of emerging digital technologies for the rehabilitation of our built heritage, especially in producing records relevant for the understanding of structural and environmental performance. Good decision in heritage conservation relay on accurate and precise information about the building’s fabric and structure. This project […]

This study focuses on understanding the emerging role of “prosumers” in Canada – individuals or entities who not only use electricity but also produce it, often through renewable sources like solar panels. We aim to study how this trend is evolving, especially in Canada, and develop profiles of these prosumers based on where they live […]

Carbon dioxide is considered one of the main greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The gas causes huge environmental and social negative impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce gas emissions to benefit the communities and societies. The project focuses on CO2 capture by amine solutions and solid materials. Besides the laboratory measurements, the work continues […]

Streams and rivers benefit people and wildlife. Climate change has caused streams and rivers in British Columbia to become drier. Man-made dams retain water but are difficult to maintain. North American beaver (Castor canadensis) build dams that retain water, and quickly repair damage, which help solve man-made dam challenges. Ducks Unlimited Canada wants to use […]

Managing a consistent plant environment is critical to maximizing yield and quality of plant produced in a controlled environment agricultural (CEA) systems. The environmental conditions directly impact plant production which in turn impact plant product quality and marketability. The quality of the produced plant (leafy greens, or other plants) are influenced by both the environment […]

This project is a collaborative endeavour between Rocscience Inc. and Dr. Mitri’s research group at McGill University. Rocscience is a leading firm specializing in the development of geotechnical engineering software. The project aims to validate the discrete fracture network modelling (DFN) approach as a tool for rock slope stability design/ analysis in civil and mining […]

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

Canada currently employs patterned non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the treatment of conditions such as depression and anxiety. The goal of this study will aim to determine whether there is a more effective way to deliver brain stimulation compared to traditional methods. We will compare a new controlled TMS compared to the traditional TMS hardware. […]

The proposed research project “Cloud based hybrid low-cost appliance control and monitor system” is an appliance automation system consisting of an arrangement of different channels of communication. The main idea behind the proposed work is to provide a real time control and monitoring for industrial appliances located in workplaces where internet accessibility is not immediate. […]
