Tribo-electrostatic Separation of Potash

Over two years a post-doctoral fellow will investigate the electrostatic separation of potash. This will be accomplished experimentally by triboelectrically charging different materials, with and without conditioning agents, and then testing different separation techniques. Separation techniques will include electrostatic separation and a fines removal process. Electrostatic separation implementation in Saskatchewan may have multiple advantages, when compared with conventional techniques, including: increased capacity, reduced maintenance, reduced or eliminated environmental impact of tailings, reduced or eliminated water consumption, reduced energy consumption, reduced or eliminated environmental impact of brine, improved extraction ratio of the ore, reduced or eliminated corrosion costs, and reduced cost of production. A fines removal process may assist with the implementation of electrostatic separation and/or froth flotation techniques.

Environmental productivity patterns of the Salish Sea: trends, impacts, projections

Pacific salmon are important from ecological, economic, social and cultural perspectives, but many species in the Salish Sea have seen drastic decrease in marine survival rate in recent decades, likely linked to reduced survival of the young stages of salmon due to a combination of environmental, food web changes, and human impacts. This activity will provide an ecosystem-level analysis of how the environmental productivity of the Salish Sea has changed in recent decades with focus on the implications this has had for salmon populations in the area. The aim is to develop a hypothesis for why the changes in environmental productivity impact salmon, as well as for how important productivity changes are for population trends as compared to food web effects and direct human impacts, notably through fishing.

Développement d’un outil de calcul du coût du cycle de vie de ponts routiers pour la Grappe industrielle AluQuébec

Ce projet de recherche vise à optimiser l’utilisation d’aluminium dans la conception de ponts routiers. Des recherches récentes montrent que l’aluminium pourrait présenter de nombreux avantages économiques grâce à son excellente durabilité, le peu d’entretien qu’il nécessite et son recyclage en fin de vie. Ces avantages seront tangibles dans la durée et non pas lors de la phase initiale de construction de ponts. En conséquence, une méthode d’analyse économique qui prendra en considération toutes les étapes du cycle de vie d’une structure (construction, entretien, fin de vie) sera développée pour estimer le coût total réel d’un pont conçu avec de l’aluminium en comparaison avec des ponts en bois et en béton.

Prototypical spatial patterns arise from face-to-face social interaction via hyperscanning

When two brains are engaged in a social interaction, specific brain activity emerges that causes the two brains to become ‘in sync’. This discovery was made possible by ‘hyperscanning’, a technique where two people are simultaneously scanned in two Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners to record their brain activity while interacting with each other in real-time. Our lab is spearheading a new method of looking at common brain architectures for representing visual information by looking at fine-scale patterns of brain activity. This project expands our methods to investigate whether a similar common architecture exists for social information. The prototypical spatial patterns of activity that arise from social interactions demonstrate that it may be possible to decode this information in one individual by using the patterns of another. Decoding social information stored in the brain will be important for understanding social deficiencies such as autism spectrum disorder and will provide insight into a hallmark ability of the human species.

Microalgae for the production of plant specialized metabolites of interest

Algae-C is a company specialized in algal biomass production. It enables on-site production of algae for a wide variety of sectors (aquaculture, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biofuel). To date, many fuels, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products are extracted from plants. These valuable plant natural products (PNPs) are often produced in low quantities in plants and extraction methods can be long and expensive. Thus, there is much interest in metabolic engineering for developing microbial platforms to produce specific PNPs. Microalgae are well-known systems for plant biology and genetic engineering and are interesting and suitable hosts for the reconstitution of complex plant pathways. Algae-C wishes to translate metabolic engineering research into industrial processes. This project aims to optimized microalgae platforms for the production of valuable PNPs. These ventures are motivated by consumer demand for products that are environmentally friendly, less expensive, and possess properties similar or superior with those generated by PNPs.

Canadian Partnership for Research in Immunotherapy Manufacturing Excellence (CanPRIME)

Cancer remains the leading causes of mortality worldwide. While treatments are available, existing chemotherapies and radiation therapy have limited success due to secondary effects on healthy cells, resulting in adverse side effects in patients. Over the past 5 years, we have witnessed the development of new and promising cancer therapeutics that stimulate and awaken the body’s immune system to attack tumor cells. These new biologically-based therapies, known as immunotherapeutics, have already begun to show great promise in a number of clinical trials. Among immunotherapeutics, Oncolytic Viruses (OV), also known as cancer killing viruses, are at the forefront. In the lab, we discovered a new viral platform named “SKV” that has the ability to safely target and kill a number of different tumor cells types, while successfully activating the immune system against tumor tissues.

Schools as Potential Sites of Prevention & Intervention for Youth Homelessness

Youth homelessness exists across Canada and schools represent one site of interaction with youth who are homeless or who are at risk of homelessness. Decreasing the number of homeless young Canadians means the implementation of innovative, youth-informed practices and policies within institutions, services, and places throughout communities that serve as points of interaction with homeless and at-risk youth (such as schools). This research will create a safe space for youth who have been or who are homeless to share their experiences, and allow the researchers to identify both the successful and unsuccessful interactions that schools have had with homeless youth in order to advise improvement of school responses to youth homelessness.

Community Land Trusts: Exploring civil society’s role in reconciliation and the housing crisis

This research project aims to explore how civil society organizations in Metro Vancouver might devise Community Land Trusts that allow their property interests to intersect with their social mission. Metro Vancouver Alliance, a broad-based community organizing alliance of faith, labour, community, and education sectors, previously conducted listening campaigns identifying reconciliation and affordable housing as common priorities. Some MVA faith institutions have expressed interest in redeveloping their property through CLTs to serve this shared social mission. The research initiatives of this project will inform educational materials about CLTs that will be tailored to their specific interests and context. The research project will include a day-long public education conference for organizations interested in exploring CLTs. In addition to exploring CLT models for affordable housing, this project will also partner with urban Indigenous partners to explore possible ways to use CLTs as a means of decolonizing urban land ownership.

Engineered Reflection

This research will focus on glass materiality and its use in architecture. By attending Glasstec, fhe international trade fair for glass production, processing and products, I will be able to elaborate a technology survey of available products in the market, production processes as well as experiments and prototypes showcased by the companies Research and Development departments. Additionally, I will visit and document the recently inaugurated Elbphilarmonie in Hamburg, where glass is used in various forms and applications in innovative ways (curved, serigraphed, etched, thermoformed). Through an extensive documentation I will produce the material and documentation in order to propose future uses and applications of glass in architecture, focusing performance and its material possibilities. Both Glasstec participation and the Elbiphilarmonie documentation will become essential elements for my research in the form of concrete chapters in my thesis proposal.

Efficient implementation of compact deep neural networks for mobile applications

Computer vision has become part of our daily life with applications in surveillance cameras, medical imaging, self-driving cars, and so on. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown substantial progress in many vision applications such as image recognition and object detection. Utilizing CNNs from 2012 have reduced the error of image recognition dramatically which is now below than human level (i.e. 2.75% vs. 5%). Deep CNNs, however, require a large number of parameters and computations which make them difficult to deploy into smart mobile devices. Several studies have been conducted to find solutions to reduce the complexity of CNNs. Although they showed promising results for some benchmarks, the generalization of the methods into real-world applications has not been fully understood yet. In this work, we aim at finding the best method to compact deep CNNs and to embed them into cell-phone platforms.

Projection hydroclimatique de la teneur en eau des sols et des faibles débits en milieu forestier

Les changements climatiques vont intensifier les périodes de faibles débits et affecter les teneurs en eau dans les sols. Les projections de débits produites à ce jour sont cependant minées par des limitations importantes, notamment une estimation simpliste de l’évapotranspiration et une méconnaissance des propriétés des sols en milieu forestier. Ce projet propose d’intégrer une représentation plus complète et cohérente de l’évapotranspiration et des processus d’écoulement dans les couches superficielles de sol afin d’améliorer la qualité des projections futures des faibles débits et des teneurs en eau pour un ensemble de bassin versants forestiers du Québec.
