Meningioma Quality of Life (QOL) Validation Study

Meningiomas represent the most common type of brain tumours arising from the brain itself, accounting for about 30% of cases. Effective treatments like surgery and radiation exist, yet patients may continue to suffer from symptoms that lower their quality of life (QOL). Currently used tools for measuring QOL are not specific to the unique needs of meningioma patients and may not accurately reflect the QOL issues most important to them. This project aims to improve the care of patients with meningioma by shortening and validating an existing patient-centered, meningioma-specific questionnaire that comprehensively evaluates QOL in meningioma patients to ensure it is an accurate and reliable tool for use in routine care.

Augmented Reality Second Language Acquisition Support

This project aims to develop and evaluate an advanced augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based system designed to enhance conversational fluency for intermediate-to-advanced language learners. By integrating language practice into everyday environments, the system will offer immersive and interactive learning experiences without reliance on traditional classroom instruction or physical conversation partners. Existing literature indicates that AR-based language learning tools have been effective in increasing engagement, motivation, and retention for beginner-level learners. However, there remains a lack of research on AR applications for learners who possess strong foundational knowledge of a second language but struggle with practical conversational skills. This project will explore whether AR-driven interactive experiences can provide meaningful and situated learning and practice opportunities, particularly for individuals who lack regular access to native speakers or formal conversational practice. The research will contribute to the advancement of AI-driven educational tools, contribute to the space of AR interaction design, and support the creation of accessible and cost-effective language learning solutions. The project aligns with the research expertise and interest of the participating faculty members, who specialize in AR, AI, and Human-Computer Interaction. The project will promote international collaboration and add to the expanding field of technology-assisted language acquisition.

Integration of Speed of Sound imaging on 3D volume acquisitions of prostate specimen

Prostate cancer (PCa) cases are expected to double worldwide by 2040, making early and accurate detection essential. Currently, diagnosing PCa is challenging due to systemic biopsy procedures, which have a low sensitivity of 48%. To improve detection and diagnosis, the research group at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is developing advanced imaging techniques such as elastography and speed of sound imaging. These methods will enhance image-guided biopsies and potentially enable less invasive treatment, reducing the need for full prostate removal. This improved imaging could lead to better patient outcomes and more effective PCa treatments.
The research at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) aligns closely with that of UBC, as TU/e also specializes in advanced ultrasound imaging techniques and tissue characterization. Through the internship, supported by the Mitacs Globalink Award, this international collaboration between TU/e and UBC will foster knowledge exchange and contribute to advancements in medical imaging, ultimately improving PCa diagnosis and treatment.

AIDOX – Intelligent Document Processing

Scotiabank’s Global AI & ML (GAIML) – Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Team has built AIDOX, an AI-powered document understanding platform that processes thousands of emails and documents daily. The current system uses fine-tuned language models for tasks like document classification, OCR, key data extraction, and entity resolution. However, the increasing complexity of financial documents requires a shift towards Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance processing accuracy and efficiency. This project will compare existing language models with LLMs, expand AIDOX’s capabilities f or complex document processing, and integrate new document-related tasks like summarization and question-answering. The anticipated benefits include improved automation, reduced manual workload, and enhanced risk assessment capabilities for Scotiabank.

Advancing Soft Robotics Fabrication via Multi-Material Additive Manufacturing for Enhanced Sensing and Actuation

Whether conforming safely with the movements of humans, executing adaptable motion to navigate unpredictable terrain, or handling delicate objects with precision, soft robots are revolutionizing the way machines interact with the world. Soft robots take inspiration from biological systems, incorporating soft and stretchable materials to achieve lifelike motion. However, the fabrication of these advanced systems requires equally advanced manufacturing capabilities. This collaborative project between the University of Alberta’s IMPACT Lab and UC San Diego’s Bioinspired Robotics Lab aims to improve the way that soft robots are designed and made using next generation 3D printing techniques. By developing new methods to print soft and flexible materials, we aim to create better 3D printable pneumatic actuators, sensors, and valves. These components make up soft robotic building blocks which can be combined to design fully 3D printable soft robots capable of complex logic and tasks. The project will involve both hardware development and material optimization to enhance the performance of 3D printed soft robots. The knowledge gained from this collaboration will benefit both institutions by improving fabrication techniques, enabling new robotic applications, and strengthening international research partnerships.

Estimation of Parcel Flows on a Tram-Cargo Network

The GRAME is currently conducting an extensive opportunity study to highlight the potential role of trams in the movement of people and goods within the Greater Montreal Area.
Through this project, it has collaborated with Coop Carbone and GoMove to assess the potential for parcel distribution via a possible pan-Montreal tram network. According to modeling, a network similar to the one
proposed in Montreal’s 2050 Urban Planning and Mobility (PUM) plan, could serve up to 84% of the parcel journeys transported by Montreal distributors, using a combination of trams and cargo bikes for the final 3.5
to 5 kilometers. This indicates the coverage level for parcel delivery needs in the area by such a tram network. However, we still lack data on the capacity in terms of parcel volume transported, which is valuable information for the relevance of the study, according to our partners of the Goods Transportation Innovation Group, formed to guide the needs that the study must address. We know that this is particularly crucial for estimating the potential economic impact of this system. Additionally, it will help anticipate the capacity, primarily considering the mobility needs of users, which we believe is essential to social acceptability.
