Re-imagining knowledge mobilization in a carbon-constrained world: A study of academic conferencing in the sustainability sciences

Academic conferences are important forums for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange knowledge and address real-world challenges. Especially for early career scholars and scientists in parts of the global South, attending conferences is a vital part of their career development. However, going to a conference often involves long-distance air travel, so the benefits of attending […]

Development and evaluation of AI-enabled planning algorithms for timber-harvesting machines using Vortex

Timber-harvesting is an important industry for Canada. For tree-cutting specifically, the industry employs large heavy-duty machines with crane-like manipulator arms which are driven by trained operators. The work involved in operating these machines is tiring, involves long hours in harsh conditions and as a result, there is presently a labour shortage for operators. It is […]

Dilution prediction and reduction in underground mines based on stoping methods using artificial intelligence

Given that dilution is a problem that reduces the profit of many underground operations, the dilution monitoring, prediction, and reduction convey the capability to increase operational efficiency. The proposed research aims to develop an unplanned dilution monitoring, prediction, and reduction tool. The research methodology will be based on artificial intelligence (AI)-based models. More specifically, the […]

False Data Injection Attacks Targeting Power System Generation Control/Scheduling and Their Mitigations

Electric power systems are subject to cyberattacks. In this project, we intend to investigate false data injection attacks (FDIAs) targeting the automatic generation control (AGC) and the economic dispatch (ED) of electric power systems. Such a class of attacks may significantly affect the system frequency stability and result in huge economic loss and even catastrophic […]

Secure Communication Based on Public Key Distribution with Imbalanced Twin-Field-QKD-like Infrastructure in Classical Coherent Optical Fiber Network

In quantum key distribution (QKD), the twin-field has been proposed as a means to overcome the linear key rate bound, and hence the key generation rate, as well as to enable repeaterless QKD transmission. Despite significant progress in TF-QKD and its variations in recent times, the key rates are still significantly low compared to practical […]

Implementing Instrumental and Observational Effects in 21cm Simulations

Cosmic Dawn (CD) is the period in our Universe’s history when first-generation stars and galaxies were formed. Despite its importance, we have yet to directly observe this period. Next-generation radio telescopes promise to change this by utilizing a technique known as 21cm tomography. The current state-of-the-art software package for making theoretical predictions in 21cm tomography […]
