Deep neural networks have demonstrated state-of-the-art modeling accuracy on a wide range of real-life problems, with some cases surpassing human performance. Despite the promise of deep neural networks as an enabling technology for a large number of industries and fields, there are two particular key challenges in the design of deep neural networks in real-world, […]

In today’s business context, companies need to release software quickly in order to remain competitive. This requires internal teams to work closely together from the outset. Unfortunately, security is typically considered only at the very end. This means if any issues are discovered by the security team, it requires extensive rework. Typical responses are to […]

Funded through a series of NSERC partnership grants, Cubresa Inc. have been working with the applicants to develop technologies for pre-clinical imaging for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and PET friendly radiofrequency (RF) coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of small animals. To date, our collaboration has played a direct role in Cubresa being the […]

The aim of this project is to develop a computer-based algorithm that will integrate a planning model with a scheduling model to improve operations management for analytical service facilities. An iterative decomposition algorithm that can provide optimal production scheduling sequences (in acceptable computational times) based on changes in the strategic planning decisions will be provided […]

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) is a common and devastating condition that severely affects millions of people around the world. Following an mTBI, also known as concussion, a medical professional performs standard neurological tests, however, these tests are very subjective, based on patient-reporting, and provide little to no insight on the severity of an mTBI. […]

Silicon solar cells have increasingly been recognised as key components in future renewable energy solutions. However, their sustained viability will depend on cell performance and cost, with the current emphasis on thinner cells made from lower grade silicon. However, although such cells would be cheaper, their performance would be compromised by the presence of even […]

Protein degradation induced by PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) constitutes a novel modality of drug discovery, with advantages over the traditional approach. This approach is still at infancy and there is a lot to learn in this field. The trainees will work under academic supervisors at University of Toronto, who are experts in chemical tool development […]

Dans une situation de crise environnementale, l’industrie doit prévenir le réchauffement climatique avec la transition des énergies fossiles vers les énergies renouvelables. L’hydrogène dont la combustion génère de l’eau présente le carburant le plus prometteur quant à la préservation de l’environnement et son rapport énergétique massique. Actuellement, la majeure production est issue du reformage du […]

Ce projet de recherche action explore la question d’équilibre entre conception réglée et conception innovante appliquée au domaine de l’architecture. Bien que la compréhension de l’articulation entre ces deux niveaux de créativité touche des notions théoriques allant de la psychologie organisationnelle aux théories du management et de la conception. L’atteinte de l’équilibre entre ces niveaux […]

Healthcare infrastructure plays a key role in the recovery of communities in a post-disaster scenario. In seismically active regions, such as western Canada, an understanding of the seismic performance of hospitals is essential to inform emergency management and effectively mitigate earthquake risk. This research project aims to develop new methodological approaches to integrate seismic risk […]

Tracking humans in video can have a variety of applications including monitoring shoppers in stores, identifying suspicious activities in public spaces, and ensuring the security of senior home residents. Recent advances in video processing and hardware capability on computers have made it possible to track a single human in a video sequence in real time. […]
