Fabrication and characterization of mixed matrix membranes toseparate greenhouse gases

Membrane separation processes have very low operating and maintenance costs in comparison to other separation technologies. The purpose of this project is to further develop the production of membranes that are suitable for capturing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. A membrane that is suitable for industrial applications is able to create a […]

Investigation of the applications of Radiographic AI Assessment (RAIA)

Radiographic AI Assessment (RAIA) is a web-based application tailored for veterinary practices, focusing on chest radiographs. With millions of annual veterinary clinic visits in Canada, many involving radiography, RAIA addresses the need for better diagnostic quality. It offers automatic quality assessment, enhancing radiology technicians’ ability to deliver high-quality radiographs essential for accurate diagnoses.

Dynamics of single P. aeruginosa cells under shear during biofilm formation

The proposed project involves the use of a combination of two techniques i.e., rheology, confocal microscopy and image analysis, aimed at understanding the physics of bacterial cells at interfaces. Given the fact that the interactions and the interplay of forces are complicated at interfaces, the proposed study can provide significantly valuable insights into the dynamics […]

Photogrammetric speech motor control assessment

Speech sound disorders (SSDs) are an umbrella term for a range of speech difficulties characterised by a constellation of deficits. Identifying SSD subtypes can be supported by objectively analysing the child’s speech and facial movement patterns (kinematics). However, these movements can only be precisely and specifically measured using specialised instrumentation and software limited to the […]

Geomechanical characterization of using basalt fiber-treated clay soils for improving ground resilience against freeze-thaw actions

The degradation of soil under freeze-thaw cycles will pose a major threat to newly constructed infrastructure in cold regions. The soil ground forms an essential part of the built environment, thus actions should be taken to improve the ground’s resilience. We are collaborating with our industry partner SFTec Inc. to propose a sustainable value-added strategy […]

Computational modelling of advanced electrocatalysts for CO2 electroreduction using DFT and machine learning.

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU), primarily the CO2 electroreduction technology, can convert CO2 into a variety of valuable products, using renewable electricity. However, the path to widespread adoption of the CO2 electroreduction technology in industrial settings is met with several challenges primarily the cost of electricity, efficiency and selectivity of the desired product. One of […]
