The interns are students in an online university programme in architecture. They will contribute to the research, development and presentation of a study by the partner organisation architecture firm, addressing the housing crisis in Canada through an initiative that explores gentle densification of mature urban neighborhoods through a design tool-kit of recommendations and a new […]

Yooreka is a smart-home, consumer Internet of Things (IoT) device and/or peripheral, system agent and subscription service intended to assist families and parents with early childhood development. It may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) I to gain an advanced understanding of a child’s learning environment to support their socio-emotional development, and assists parents’ decision making while […]

Quantum networks will enhance the security of communication and link quantum computers together to solve certain problems that are not possible with present day computers. To realize practical applications with a quantum advantage, thousands of photons must be controlled, and entanglement utilized to distribute quantum bits across the network. In this project, we will develop […]

The goal of this project is to investigate how a new online digital technology, Maple Learn, can contribute to contemporary mathematics curricula internationally. New curricula in mathematics emphasize broad skills that cut across all mathematics domains. In other words, instead of focusing of formulas and procedures, contemporary mathematics curricula promote similarities across domains (such as […]

Augmented reality technology promises seamless and effective remote collaboration for 3D tasks. The performing arts, especially dance, is heavily reliant on precise and creative collaboration in 3D space, but the specific task needs, interface designs, and user experience requirements of collaborative work in dance for augmented reality is unknown. In particular, more than other commonly […]

Pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) are widely used to deliver drugs to the lungs for treatment of respiratory diseases. However, targeting delivery of inhaled drugs to the lungs is not straightforward. The airways of the mouth and throat present a barrier through which inhaled particles must penetrate in order to reach their target sites in the […]

Advanced energy storage plays a critical role in addressing climate change and increasing the high penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Among energy storage systems, lithium-ion batteries are the most electrifying and sustainable. These technologies’ functional constraints, prices, and safety all have an impact on the acceptability of large-scale battery storage […]

Measurements of the fundamental properties of neutrons may yield insight into unsolved problems in particle physics and astrophysics. Intense sources of ultracold neutrons, and efficient neutron storage and detection, are needed to make these measurements possible. A new neutron storage vessel, designed and built in Canada, will be tested at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research […]

There is recently a trend of applying computer vision for interpreting the inspection images or videos of pips automatically. In recent years, deep learning has obtained promising performance in various computer vision tasks such as image classification and object detection. Compared with conventional computer vision techniques, approaches based on deep learning are capable of extracting […]

For decades, drying sub-alpine fir and yellow spruce is known as an unmanageable task mainly due to the high moisture variation and the presence of wet-wood that result in a broad spread of moisture in kiln-dried timbers. For this reason, a considerable portion of under-dried and over-dried wood can be observed in kiln-dried subalpine fir […]

The frost deterioration caused by freeze-thaw cycles (FTC) is of great concern in masonry buildings due to its detrimental effect on durability and long-term seismic performance. Recent findings reveal a substantial reduction in mechanical properties of masonry (e.g., compressive strength) when exposed to FTC. This material damage weakens the seismic capacity of masonry walls, increasing […]

For the past several years Haply Robotics has been developing high-performance, inexpensive, haptic devices that can be used in a variety of applications, such as medical simulation for the purposes of training. Haply is currently interested in the use of commercial off-the-shelf manipulandums, such as the Valve Index (Valve Index, 2022), that measures the user’s […]
