Steel pipelines as key Canadian infrastructure are often exposed to various geological and environmental conditions that cause defects such as cracks, dents, and gouges in the pipe wall, which can lead to pipe fracture in pipelines, compromising the entire pipeline’s functionality and resulting in significant economic losses, environmental issues or even fatalities. There are several […]

This project aims to form a collaboration between Queen’s University with AAVAA Inc. AAVAA is developing hearing aids with capability of attention detection decoding by recording and analyzing brain waves, which are recorded non-invasively through the skin around the ear and within the ear canal. One of the main components of this system contributing to […]

A nuclear reactor to a nuclear power plant is the same as the heart to a living human. Safe operation of the plant is directly related to the health of the reactor. Just as human heart where blood circulates through to deliver oxygen to the other parts of the body, coolant passes through the reactor […]

Marine emergency incidents pose major environmental risks that are detrimental to the ocean ecosystem and present significant dangers to both people and property. Current response options are very limited and the existing tools to deal with nearshore environmental spills are neither timely nor efficient. SHIFT Environmental is developing innovative solutions as part of a Coastal […]

The built environment accounts for over one-third of annual global carbon emissions, with approximately one-quarter resulting from ‘embodied carbon’ that is released during the raw material manufacturing, transportation, construction and end of life phases of built assets. Given the continued growth in new build construction and the critical need to limit climate change, further analysis […]

The presence of metal ions in contaminated water from industrial processes present a huge challenge that has led to great concern regarding their effects on human health. Conventional treatment processes are not adequate for their removal, so new technologies need to be investigated. The use of three-dimensional porous system, such as hydrogels, is an alternative […]

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the epithelial, connective, and neural tissues in the human body and rooster comb tissues. It provides lubrication and acts as a cushion in the joints for different tissues of the human body. Currently, hyaluronic acid is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and medical applications. In […]

Les membranes d’oxyde de graphène sont de nouveaux matériaux utilisés dans les filtrations de gaz et de liquides comme alternative aux procédés conventionnels de séparation. Le matériau composite confère aux membranes des caractéristiques sur mesure telles que la structure nanoporeuse, la stabilité chimique, la sélectivité et la résistance mécanique. Le traitement par ultrasons peut être […]

Sun Peaks Resort is introducing a hybrid VOIP (Voice over IP) solution for Sun Peaks Resort LLP in 2022. This solution would see business critical land lines migrated from our on premise VOIP system, to a cloud based VOIP system. The current phone system is aging and unsupported, replacement parts are also difficult to find. […]

The proposed research project focuses on multi-sensor such as heart rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation level, and inertial sensor data-based sleep stage classification, and tremor detection in real-time for preventive health devices. The goal of the proposed research is to build robust and energy-efficient machine learning and deep learning-based approaches that extract and analyze the […]

This project aims to bridge Canadian talent with the rapidly growing technology scene in Asia, and vice versa. A huge opportunity – and challenge – that the world faces in the coming years is the issue of feeding the ever increasing global population without harming the environment. Currently, the agricultural industry is failing at this […]

In this proposal, we aim to develop a secure and cost-effectiveness solution that optimizes and ensures data safety and consistency in the intranet network of Optilog. Unlike existing network security solutions which are mainly hardware-based, we will design a software-defined multi-tenant network solution allowing to select appropriate virtual network functions from different network providers to […]
