Robotic technology is starting to leave enclosed industrial spaces and research labs and enter human society and communities. However, the impact of robots on humans is not well understood, and this lack of understanding limits the safety and effectiveness of their deployment. The primary objective of this research project is to investigate the emotional and […]

The project will enable contactless measurement of blood glucose using remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology using patients’ face or finger videos which is a comparatively new artefact. There is a lack of training data and the blood volume pulse (BVP) signal extracted from the videos suffer from a lot of noise resulting in poor measurement accuracy. […]

We will develop a fiber-optical sensor system that can be applied to monitor pipelines. By recording the response of a fiber-optic transducer to ultrasound that is generated on the wall of a pipeline we can measure the flow velocity of the fluid inside the pipeline. Similar measurements are presently conducted by pipeline operators using piezo-electric […]

My study in the Master of Management in Innovation and Entrepreneurship program at Queens University has provided me with exposure to various frameworks and theories that can assist organizations in improving their work processes, generating revenue, and acquiring new customers. My goal is to apply these frameworks to assist Canadian organizations. One such organization I […]

Canada, with 20% of the Earth’s freshwater resources, is experiencing changes to its terrestrial water cycle as the impacts of climate change progress. This can lead to complex water storage changes manifesting as flood risks and droughts on various spatiotemporal scales. This project aims to compare a state-of-the-art physics-based hydrological modelling platform, namely HydroGeoSphere, part […]

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to many changes in our local economies. While we have seen extreme inequity and economic losses we have also seen innovations and rapid-response adaptations by businesses, institutions and social service providers. Due to the rate of constant change over multiple waves of the pandemic, the ability to track and measure […]

AltaML builds artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled solutions to business problems. We work with organisations, bringing together their data and domain expertise with our AI expertise, to develop AI solutions that are deployed in their operations. We also commercialize AI-enabled products business via industry-specific ventures, yielding scalability from our investment in the first solution. Competition for tech […]

We will investigate a decision procedure for the monitorability of timed-properties of software controlled systems. A property defines a behaviour that a system is expected to exhibit, or in some cases, to not exhibit. In Runtime Verification, a property is monitorable if it is possible to construct a monitor that can detect the system’s conformance […]

Magnetic confinement of the extremely hot plasma necessary to achieve controlled nuclear fusion has made tremendous progress in recent years towards the ultimate goal of operating as a commercially viable long-term source of energy that can greatly facilitate the decarbonization of our energy system. As part of this research effort a fusion reactor prototype is […]

Non-renewable fossil fuel derived plastics are ubiquitous in modern society, leading to negative environmental impacts. Urgent action is needed to reduce our societal reliance on these plastic products. The use of bio-based and/or biodegradable thermoplastics such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) could be a potential solution, however these materials typically have limited mechanical strength, hindering their […]

Hyperspectral imaging is among the most promising earth observation technologies today. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) from satellites and uncrewed aerial systems is now feasible and enables the monitoring of new earth systems at unprecedented spatio-temporal scales. Applications of HSI include agriculture, natural resources and environmental monitoring, to name a few. Simulation of the hyperspectral imaging process […]
