A new York University-led study considers how the ways people move, sit and sleep are related to onset of dementia. With people living longer than ever before, dementia is becoming a common part of aging worldwide. Parmis Mirzadeh, a Faculty of Health doctoral candidate in kinesiology and health science, says “Dementia is a growing global public health […]
York University researchers have produced the first comprehensive map of Canada’s data centre landscape, offering new insight into where facilities are, where they are being built and what their rapid growth could mean. “There is very little systematic evidence to inform that discussion,” says Alexander Carlo, a postdoctoral researcher at Schulich. “At a basic level, we […]
A new international study involving York University researcher expertise shows that AI could help make liver transplant decisions more consistent, transparent and evidence-based, especially when resources are limited. “Liver transplantation is a rare case in medicine where access to a life-saving treatment is limited by organ availability,” explains co-senior author Divya Sharma, assistant professor in the Faculty […]
York University researchers are using advanced simulation to study how emergency response decisions shape airport safety and preparedness. Emergency management at airports is uniquely demanding because of the complex, diverse and dynamic systems involved, says Ali Asgary, professor of disaster and emergency management in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. With dense traffic, multiple vehicles […]
CIFAL York is expanding its work in climate innovation with a new focus on how AI can support real‑world solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges. Since its establishment in 2020, CIFAL York has been at the forefront of climate change, disaster management and sustainable development. It offers innovative approaches to climate challenges, […]
York University Lassonde School of Engineering Professor Gene Cheung is pioneering miniaturized AI models that reduce training costs, energy consumption and environmental impact, and has launched a new partnership with Manulife to further advance this work, making AI systems smaller, more efficient and more practical for real-world large language model applications[…]
When York University Associate Professor Doug Van Nort steps onto a stage, he isn’t just surrounded by musicians – he’s surrounded by collaborators, both human and non-human. For more than a decade, Van Nort has been developing AI-driven machine partners, or machine agents, that improvise alongside performers. Much of that work has been done through […]
A four-person team from York University joined hundreds of competitors in a prestigious AI challenge with one goal: to be recognized among those leading advancements for medical decision-making. PhD students Israt Jahan and Md Tahmid Rahman Laskar, along with professors Jimmy Huang and Chun Peng, have been tackling a critical dilemma in health care by […]
Jing Li’s PhD supervisor probably didn’t expect to lose his student to Japan for several months. But when you’re the first York University student ever accepted into the National Institute for Informatics (NII) visiting researcher program, certain accommodations get made. Li is in Tokyo, working on algorithms that predict future events by analyzing patterns in […]
A York University researcher has been awarded more than $645,000 in funding for two projects aimed at advancing bone graft technology and improving post-cancer care. Assistant Professor Razieh (Neda) Salahandish of York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering has secured two major research grants: a $300,000 Ontario Centre of Innovation’s Collaborate 2 Commercialize (OCI-C2C) grant; and a Mitacs Business […]
