The development of self-powered wearable biosensors

The proposed project aims to develop a wearable biosensor for real-time monitoring of critical cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein, Troponin I, and Myoglobin, along with physiological parameters like heart rate. The biosensor will achieve high selectivity and durability by utilizing molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) technology. The intern will collaborate with Professor Joseph […]

L2M – Commercial Validation and MVP Development of a Pediatric Biofeedback Tool for Grip and Pinch Strength Assessment

Pediatric therapists struggle to obtain accurate grip strength measurements because current tools were originally designed for adults. These tools require excessive hand strength and fail to engage children, leading to unreliable data. As a result, therapists often resort to subjective estimates, making it difficult to track progress, tailor treatment plans, or justify therapy to insurance […]

Enhancing light-matter interactions with intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides

This research project pioneers the development of novel molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/copper hybrid materials through electrochemical intercalation and exfoliation techniques. By transforming readily available powdered molybdenite—a byproduct of Canadian mining operations—into atomically thin layers with enhanced properties, the work creates a sustainable pathway for producing high-performance two-dimensional materials without organic additives that typically compromise conductivity. The […]

CO2/NH3 Bi-Direction Shipping between Canada and Asia

“Green shipping corridors” are being established globally, including interest in new cargos of hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The former is challenging to transport in neat form, making liquid organic carriers (LOCs) and ammonia (NH3) attractive forms for transport. Carbon sequestration sites are also being established for CO2 disposal, however many are located far […]
