Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is a phenomenon that results from excess insulin or strenuous exercise in diabetic patients. If untreated, this can quickly lead to dizziness, seizures and even death. In healthy individuals, the body is able to compensate for these fluctuations and restore blood sugars to normal levels by lowering insulin and raising […]

The Gulo Gulo project objective is to improve the navigation algorithm utilized by the onboard motion sensors of AV/CVs to achieve positioning accuracy of less than 1% of the distance travelled with standalone INS solutions. The standalone solution will be aided with visions sensors (camera, LIDAR and RADAR) in addition to integrated system fusion with […]

Drones popularity has been rapidly increasing for a wide class of applications including commercial delivery, photography, fire-fighting and environmental monitoring due to their low cost and high commercial availability as unmanned aerial vehicles. In the light of this growth, anti-drone technology has become a significant research topic of investigation due to unauthorized flying of drones […]

There are three legal clinics funded by Legal Aid Ontario that addressed the needs of workers. There is a need to better understand the work of the legal clinics and the needs of the populations they serve in order to guide their ongoing work. The objective of this project is to co-design a framework of […]

Video endoscopy is the main diagnostic and screening method for cancer screening in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Currently, the endoscopic video is not sufficiently documented, which makes reviewing of these videos difficult. The research team will partner with the company to develop an audio/video recording technology to combine physician voice annotation of the video during […]

In this project, an advanced coupled geomechanical Finite Element (FE) numerical code will be developed to address the limitations of existing modeling tools in investigating the performance of infrastructure affected by frost action. For this purpose, a novel geomechanical constitutive model will be developed in the framework of the critical-state model for rate-dependent deformations of […]

The proposed project will accelerate the drug development capabilities of 48Hour Discovery INC (48HD) to find high affinity drug candidates for treatment of COVID. The deliverable for this project will be high potential new drug candidates from 48HD’s drug discovery pipeline for COVID and other targets using unique molecular libraries of 48HD. The libraries are […]

High-altitude balloons are a promising technology for providing high-speed wireless internet in remote regions of Canada. In this project, we propose a simple, cheap and effective distributed control mechanism for the design of air-based wireless internet systems for deployment in remote regions of Canada. This technology could facilitate the availability of fast and reliable internet […]

In the new reality of COVID-19 pandemic, contactless cooking and serving in food industry becomes a new essential prospect to reduce virus transmission by reducing human labor and human-food interaction. The goal of this project is to develop an intelligent robot system to manipulate tools and food items in a restaurant counter and kitchen environment […]

Transcription factors (TF) are proteins that drive and maintain cellular functions by physically binding to DNA and regulating the expression levels of other genes. There are approximately 1,600 TFs in the human genome. Accurate and scalable identification of TF binding locations across the entire genome remains a major challenge. An effective solution to this problem […]

This project will support efforts to develop a new instrument and techniques to measure the state of stress in the ground. This is a key parameter used in the engineering design of underground mines, tunnels and boreholes for geothermal and shale gas extraction. Existing techniques suffer from reliability issues and it is proposed to use […]

Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) is developing a chatbot to train health-related customer support human agents. In this research, an intelligent sentiment-based chat bot is to be modeled and designed to act as a client to train the client-facing representatives who would be able to help clients more effectively. The main objectives of this internship are […]
