The extreme cold weather of Canada requires innovative solutions to provide efficient options to for heating of water domestically, industrially and commercially. Heat pump water heaters might be the answer as efficient heating systems and cost-effective on the long term. Hence, this project studies heat pump water heaters as a potential efficient and environmentally-friendly substitution […]

Abnormal knee loading is known to contribute towards knee osteoarthritis, causing tissue damage and pain. High tibial osteotomy is a surgical procedure that corrects abnormal knee loading conditions and alleviates osteoarthritis symptoms. However, we don’t fully understand how different surgical procedures affect joint tissues. Establishing the relationship between joint structure and joint surgery presents an […]

Canada aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Buildings play a big role in this effort, so this research focuses on developing a tool to design and retrofit buildings for greater energy efficiency and sustainability. Using advanced computer models and data from building simulations, this tool predicts […]

Motor impairment is a common symptom after stroke and recovery of motor function is important for regaining the patient’s independence in activities of daily living. Being able to predict motion recovery and outcomes soon after stroke could support clinicians, patients and families to set proper goals for rehabilitation and appropriate plans of time and resource […]

Reinforcement Learning (RL) driven Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is revolutionizing layout placement optimization for integrated circuits, enabling a faster design process. By incorporating the RL techniques, we enhance the historically precise yet labor-intensive process for smart integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. This innovative approach streamlines IC design, accounting for factors such as foggy and proximity effects, […]

CAVD shows in the deposition of calcifications in the aortic valve, which eventually leads to heart failure. We recently found that the types (phases) and morphologies of calcifications that form in the disease are completely different in men and women. This suggests that calcification in the two sexes follows an entirely different pathway. In this […]

3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) could potentially increase the efficiency of construction projects and profitability. However, 3DCP typically mixes contain high volume of paste which implies high volume of binder. The expeditious development of 3DCP requires exploring other prospective and sustainable mixes besides the use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based mixes to meet the high-volume […]
