Serious safety events (SSEs) are a subset of patient safety events (PSEs) reported in hospitals which results in a severe level of harm. Many of these events are cases of avoidable harm and are investigated during SSE review processes. Systemic inequities are prevalent in healthcare systems and contribute to the occurrence of SSEs, however are […]

The proposed project aims to improve FluidAI’s system for monitoring the reliability of their medical device, the Stream Platform, which assists in post-operative monitoring of wound drainage. By using advanced digital tools and data analysis techniques, the project will streamline the process of collecting and analyzing data from the device production and use to understand […]

Currently, microreaction technology was applied to Bunsen reaction, a key step of H2S splitting cycle, to improve process capability by overcoming mass transfer limitations. This was achieved by using low-flow advanced reactor (LF-AFR) made by Corning Inc., the smallest model, in our research lab at University of Saskatchewan. Compared to normal scale reactors, microreactors provide […]

This project aims to develop, evaluate, and apply advanced solutions and techniques for assisting industrial plant operators in decision-making during abnormal situations, thereby improving plant safety and reliability. Currently, plant operators receive too many alarms, making it difficult to respond effectively. In industrial facilities, developing strategies for sustainable Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) performance and […]

Le vieillissement de la population impose un vrai défi sociétal afin de maintenir la qualité de la vie, l’autonomie, et la productivité de l’individu âgé tout en minimisant les dépenses de santé. L’un des éléments majeurs de ce défi concerne le vieillissement cérébral lié au développement des maladies neurodégénératives, notamment la maladie d’Alzheimer (MA). Actuellement […]

The following proposal aims to research and develop Net Zero Carbon sustainable design strategies for a chalet, serving as a pioneering study to inform broader net-zero carbon residential developments in Montreal. It is motivated by Canada’s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. One intern will work with PLAPROS INC., under the supervision […]

The proposed research project aims to develop accurate and user-friendly models to forecast daily streamflow for the Oldman River in Alberta. This project will involve using advanced machine learning methods, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), to improve the reliability of streamflow predictions. By enhancing the […]

Buildings globally play a substantial role in energy consumption, representing more than 30% of the total energy demand. However, this energy usage is hindered by a lack of efficiency in HVAC systems, insufficient insulation, and the continuous need for fresh air, resulting in approximately 30% of this energy being wasted. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) play […]

The widespread use of renewable energy sources requires inverters to connect to the grid for enhanced control and operational flexibilities of the system. However, these “inverter-based resources” (IBRs) can sometimes cause unstable interactions with the grid which necessitate prior detailed simulation studies. Detailed Electro-Magnetic Transient (EMT) simulations are essential for these IBRs due to their […]

C-CORE and Memorial University have teamed to supervised the development of a 3U CubeSat called MUNStar-1. The CubeSat is an earth observation satellite containing a scientific payload for the measurement of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Reflectometry (GNSS-R) signals. The satellite will measure a number of ocean parameters to help understand climate change impacts, particularly […]

This project aims to design, prototype, and characterize high-speed electronic circuit boards to enhance quantum photonic networking systems. In particular, it aims to meet the strict, emerging demands of quantum telecommunications with high-speed, low-jitter, low-phase noise electronics working at the performance limits of mass-producible electronics. Ki3 Photonics specializes in developing state-of-the-art systems for quantum networking, […]

The collaborative project among NSCAD University/ Dalhousie Engineering and the partner, Penalty Four, seeks to refine development of a polo mallet prototype that can become an alternative to the conventional wood head with cane shaft, used in the game throughout its history. The inherent issue with the wood mallet is a lack of durability and […]
