Accurate and high-resolution analysis of precipitation accumulation is of primary importance for hydrological and meteorology applications. In the last decade, the Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA) system has been developed and implemented at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)’s Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC). The goal of this project aims to improve CaPA by including adjusted […]

Climate change has become a major concern over the past decades. In this context, one of the biggest issues is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced every year around the globe. In response, researchers have discovered creative solutions to recycle CO2 via a process commonly known as CO2 fixation. More recently, the use of […]

In Ontario, 95% of its paved roads in the province are paved with asphalt or asphalt surface treated. Due to severe weather conditions, the lifetime of asphalt roads is relatively short and regular maintenance is required. The annual cost of maintenance is estimated to be around 2.14 billion dollars. This project aims to explore nanotechnology […]

The objective of the proposed internship is to help support the launch of disability inclusive content for an app created by ParticipACTION, Canada’s leading non-profit physical activity organization. The goal of the content is to motivate inactive Canadians with a disability to sit less and move more, with the aim of achieving Canada’s Physical Activity […]

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry is a highly sensitive technique for measuring the concentration of certain long-lived isotopes, such as carbon-14. Recently, the use of an ion-gas reaction cell before the accelerator has been shown to enhance this sensitivity, particularly for smaller accelerators, and to extend the application of this technique to more isotopes. Isobarex Corporation has […]

Peripheral neuropathy is a medical condition that leads to a loss of sensation in the feet. Due to this loss, patients suffering from this condition are at an increased risk of falling due to impaired control of posture and gait function. Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc. has developed a biomedical device to substitute the sensory loss […]

Solid-state nanopores are tiny holes in thin membranes comparable to the size of individual biomolecules like protein or DNA. They are using as sensors to detect these molecules one at a time, and have the potential to revolutionize DNA sequencing, personalized medicine, point-of-care diagnostics, and next-generation information storage methods, but have not been able to […]

Lithium ion batteries are under constant attention of researchers all over the world due to their advantages such as high energy density, light weight and cycling performance. However they still struggling from some safety issues associated with potential leakage of electrolyte liquid components, their toxicity and flamability hazards. Lithium passivating layer formation and dendrite growth […]

Quantum computers hold the capability to solve problems that are out of the computational reach of classical computers. The race to finding and testing such problems on a smaller scale is currently on. Variational methods are one of the candidates leading this race. These methods are hybrid, meaning that they require quantum as well as […]

Cancer is a worldwide health problem and is the leading cause of death in Canada; as such, novel treatment strategies are constantly being sought. Compared to normal cells, cancer cells exhibit aberrant metabolism characterized by increased glucose uptake and rapid growth. The development and biochemical analysis of a series of small-molecule drug candidates that possess […]

TRIUMF accelerator complex enables world class research in fields ranging from nuclear physics to material sciences, life sciences and nuclear medicine offering a major advantage in probing nuclear physics processes and uniquely place TRIUMF as a leader in experiments at the “precision frontier” to address some of the fundamental scientific questions of our time. To […]

Natural assets are the stock of natural resources and ecosystems that provide essential services including positive contributions to human health and well-being, and climate change mitigation. Natural asset management has been identified as a priority area by governments, but is challenging to do on a large scale, due to its complex and expensive labor-intensive nature. […]
