Bipolar Membranes for Electrochemical Technologies

Bipolar membranes (BPMs) are already a commercially relevant technology as they are used in the electrodialysis process, that is, they are used to convert salt water into industrially useful acid and base products. Recent research, on the laboratory scale, has demonstrated that bipolar membranes also have useful applications in water splitting technologies that produce hydrogen gas, which can then be captured, stored and used as an alternative to fossil fuels. This project aims to develop next-generation bipolar membranes by combining the cutting-edge membrane technologies developed at Simon Fraser University with the industrial throughput capabilities of Ionomr Innovations Inc.

Building a framework to use banking data for learning, warning, and prevention

This project, in partnership with ATB Financial, will focus on the application and development of machine learning techniques in banking. We will delve into early prediction of customer events, such as encountering financial difficulties, that could indicate other issues and present opportune moments for ATB Financial to help customers get back on track. We will develop a framework to make statistical inferences from such early predictions of customer events to measure more accurately risks across the financial institution. Analyzing the situation around the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, a particular focus will be on the study of how people react to a disaster and change their banking transactions in such an event.

Étude des contraintes mécaniques des films de MgO : mise en évidence de gradients diminuant la symétrie locale par la spectroscopie TERS

De nos jours, les ordinateurs, les téléphones cellulaires et beaucoup de gadgets électroniques voient leur taille diminuer de plus en plus au fur et à mesure que les années passent. Actuellement, la technologie de ces dispositifs électroniques est basée sur le silicium. Or, le silicium atteint les limites de sa performance plus la taille des dispositifs électroniques diminue. Les chercheurs doivent donc trouver d’autres moyens pour fabriquer les mêmes appareils mais sans utiliser le silicium. Le film de MgO est le candidat idéal qui entre dans la fabrication des jonctions de tunnel magnétiques (JTM) qui constituent la composante essentielle des mémoires magnétorésistives volatiles à transfert de spin. Mais lorsqu’on dépose le MgO sur un autre matériau pour fabriquer les JTM, il y a apparition de contraintes mécaniques qui altèrent significativement les propriétés électriques et optiques du MgO. Mon projet de recherche consiste à calculer les contraintes mécaniques occasionnées dans les films de MgO à l’aide de simulations numériques afin de valider nos résultats expérimentaux obtenus par TERS […]

Beyond Diffusion: Animal-Mediated Nutrient Transport at Different Spatial Scales

Ecosystems are linked by exchanges of both energy and matter. These exchanges can be passive, as in water run-off, or active, as when an animal moves between ecosystems. These two types of exchanges can act against each other but, while research has focused on passive exchanges, not much is known about active exchanges. In this project, we propose to develop a mathematical model to describe how animals move matter between different ecosystems via the most common form of movement: foraging. Our foraging model will include the distance between two ecosystems, the quantity and quality of food available, and the risk of finding a predator. We will validate our model with real-world data from two different study systems, the alpine highlands of Argentina’s Andes and the boreal forests of central Newfoundland. Our foraging model will be a useful tool for researchers, managers and policy-makers to address real-world issues, such as the active transfer of artificial chemicals from croplands to forests by wild herbivores foraging in the former and resting in the latter.

Synthesis of an irreversible inhibitor of Pol?

One aspect of modern drug development involves understanding how enzymes function in terms of the progress of certain diseases in humans. This MITACS project involves the synthesis of small-molecule labels that can bind to a specific enzyme of interest, so as to better understand the mode of action of this enzyme as related to the progress of cancer. This work will involve the preparation of organic molecules possessing appropriate structural features that will enable selective and irreversible binding to the desired enzyme. The understanding gained as a result will enable the partner organization (Repare Therapeutics) to develop more effective treatments for cancer.

Advanced machine learning techniques for ore body modelling

Geostatistical techniques offer a means of mathematically approximating the spatial patterns of geological parameters. The geostatistical interpolation and simulation methods are commonly used for modeling ore bodies. The accuracy of these models has significant impacts on the reliability of mine planning and design. The proposed research project aims to apply advanced machine learning methods, geared specifically to the drillhole data type, to better predict the spatial distribution of rock properties (e.g. ore grade and rock hardness) in metallic ore bodies. Both classical and quantum machine learning techniques will be used to develop the ore body models. The accuracy of the machine learning models will be compared to the geostatistical models and with the field data.

Novel Additives to Enhance the Delivery of Foliar Crop Sprays

Crop yield is increasingly important for feeding the global population and making Canada a more self-sustaining country. Active AgriScience is a BC based company that is developing novel technologies and formulati,ons for improving yield in many types of crops including canota, wheat, com, barley, and others. One of the key services that !clive AgriScience offers is the ability to combine a number of agrochemicals into a single formulation, while maintaining the stability and benefits of each individual ingredient. Combining multiple ingredients into a single solution greatly reduces the amount of work required for delivery to the plants, such as reducing the total volume and number of passes in crop spraying. This project aims to combine both optimal chemistry and physical properties to generate better ferti lizers for crop spraying.

Electro-fermentation of Lignocellulosic Biomass for High Rate Biofuel Production

There has been a noticeable interest across Canada to deploy new approaches to help address our growing energy needs. Second generation bioethanol production from agricultural and forest residues (named as lignocellulosic biomass), can pave the way for achieving this sustainable bio-economy. Regardless the efforts by ethanol producer companies to develop the technologies of generation of bioethanol fermentation, significant research is still required to further enrich the exertions of pilot-scale demonstration/ or pre-commercial phases to eventually debut impacts into society. Therefore, the development of an electro-fermentation process may provide significant benefits to various industrial-scale ethanol producers in Alberta and across Canada, and will enable them to lead the global cellulosic-derived bioethanol market. The proposed project will help Alberta’s continuous efforts in achieving environmental sustainability and economic diversification by increasing capacity for biofuel (e.g. bioethanol) production.
