Healthy and sustainable housing is a critical social determinant of health and well-being. In Indigenous communities, decades of ineffective government housing and land policy have created abysmal, often culturally inappropriate housing conditions. Through partnership with First Nations, we will explore and uncover solutions to answer these questions: What if we could co-create Indigenous homes to […]

Deep neural network (DNN) is a class of machine learning algorithms which is inspired by biological neural networks. Learning with deep neural networks has enjoyed huge empirical success in recent years across a wide variety of tasks. Lately many researchers in machine learning society have become interested in the generalization mystery: why do overparameterized DNN […]

Large amounts of sewage sludge (SS) have been generated yearly by municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWPs), which entail huge operational expenses and advanced treatments, and the final disposal of biosolids in agricultural applications is reduced because of the potential environmental risks (e.g., heavy metals and emerging contaminants) associated with biosolids applications. The increased use of […]

Thermal stress analysis of the buried pipeline is an integral part of pipeline design and integrity analysis. Pipeline design code (e.g. CSA Z662) provides guidance on the thermal stress analysis of restrained and unrestrained pipe sections. However, a buried pipeline bend is more likely to be partially restrained, as the pipe is free to expand […]

Development of a marketing strategy for an online peer-to-peer community platform to connect rehabilitation health professionals, which will help the partner organization assess whether this is an opportunity to focus on.

L’objectif est de chercher et évaluer des données afin d’aider à déterminer la manière dont la technologie devrait interagir avec les utilisateurs. Le but est de déterminer quel est le meilleur moyen de procéder dans un projet de ville intelligente. La recherche consiste à trouver les initiatives de villes intelligentes dans le monde entier afin […]

Across the province, students are channeled into academic and applied programs at the start of high school. Students in applied courses are less likely to enjoy school or pass the provincial standards for achievement in both elementary and secondary school (EQAO, 2012). We know little about “who” takes applied courses in Ontario and what opportunities […]

Protein turnover is an incompletely understood aspect of biology, important for various processes including adaption to environmental stimuli. Over 500 protein complexes (E3 ligases) are involved in marking proteins for degradation, but only a small number of these E3 ligases are well characterised. The current project seeks to develop chemical inhibitors of GID4—a key component […]

To improve the health and economy of Canada, Achu Health has developed an application based on a machine learning algorithm that uses data collected from a smartwatch to predict illness in individuals using the application. Achu Health aims to assess the scientific rigour of its application to ensure that the evaluation of the effectiveness can […]

The Growth Manager (intern position) would be part of Goodlawyer’s efforts to adapt our marketing strategy to a pandemic-affected world. There are two overarching elements to this work: understanding how demand for legal services has shifted, and how to adapt in response. We understand that there is increased demand for certain legal services. For example, […]
