Cori Disease and SRD5A3-linked Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG) are two rare and fatal metabolic disorders for which there are no cures or therapies. Both conditions result in early-onset developmental delays, greatly hinder quality of life, and result in a rapid degeneration of motor functions. Due to their rarity, research into these conditions is lagging […]

Since 2013, Exonetik has been developing and manufacturing magnetorheological (MR) actuator systems that enable novel functionalities to satisfy unmet customer needs. Exonetik’s patented actuator systems offer a unique combination of force-density, high bandwidth, superior back-drivability, low cost and aerospace-level reliability. Since 2016, Exonetik has been working with major companies in the automotive industry such as […]

Chitin is an abundant resource in the form of shell waste from food industry in Canada and the world. BOCO Bio-Nanotechnologies has currently the infrastructure in place for scalable extraction of chitin nanowhiskers (CNWs) from crab shells. CNWs are the crystalline form of chitin molecules, possessing high strength, stiffness and aspect ratio, making them an […]

With limited funding available, managers must prioritize which invasive species and which areas need to be managed. This project will involve finding out which sites and species need to be prioritized for management within the Greater Toronto Area. Through formal discussions with different stakeholders in the area and by using existing data (e.g. species distribution […]

Power Factors offre une plateforme de suivi de performance de parcs éoliens et solaire. Cette plateforme collecte les données opérationnelles des parcs, les archive, puis les traite (calcul d’indicateurs de performance) pour ensuite les transmettre aux exploitants et propriétaires de ces parcs. Power Factors utilise déjà quelques modèles de détection d’anomalies à travers sa plateforme […]

The proposed research will investigate the inter-annual variability of evaporation rates of four different urban land use locations within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) – rooftop (impervious), industrial (partially impervious), residential (partially pervious), and grass field (pervious). There will be regularly scheduled meetings with TRCA representatives to enhance my technical proficiency, data analysis capabilities and […]

Lubricant is the substance used to decrease the friction generated between the two surfaces undergo relative motion. There are many applications for naturally occurring lubricants in medical field to improve a patient’s quality of life. Fucoidan is one of the naturally occurring lubricants that has the potential of reducing adhesion after an abdominal surgery. ARC […]

In this study, an integrated model will be developed to forecast oil and gas productions in the next 20 years for Canadian basins. Using the output of the model, supply costs estimation, economic impact analysis and GHG emissions calculation will be conducted over the forecast period from 2020 to 2040. The developed integrated model will […]

Alarming cost forecasts about climate change are spurring interest in investment in technologies for climate change mitigation. Investigations indicate there are already innovative technologies that could generate significant climate change mitigation; however, innovators are not receiving the funding they need for rapid and large-scale implementation. This research project is directed towards developing methods for attaining […]

The purpose of this project is to assist a community non-profit organisation to build a comprehensive plan to evaluate its poverty reduction initiatives and activities. The agency partners with other non-profit agencies as well as with government partners, other stakeholders, and persons with lived/living experience. The purpose of the project is also to develop a […]

Haply Robotics is developing a haptic device that produces forces on the hand while interacting with medical simulations in virtual reality. As part of this larger project, we will design and evaluate an improved manipulandum – the stylus of the device that is held in the hand – with integrated sensors capable of measuring the […]

Les connaissances des spécialistes de patinage de vitesse courte piste Canada sur la manière dont patinent leurs athlètes d’élite sont principalement basées sur leur expérience personnelle. Actuellement, le manque de mesures concrètes réduit considérablement les innovations technique et d’entrainement que s’autorisent les spécialistes. L’objectif du projet consiste donc à concevoir un système capable de mesurer […]
