BETSY – Bovine Expert Tracking and Surveillance

OneCup provides cattle management solutions to the livestock industry. Our AI is called BETSY – Bovine Expert Tracking and Surveillance. Using artificial intelligence, we put a rancher’s skillset into a device the size of a small book. With several types of cameras, BETSY can ID and track cattle activity 24×7. For example, she can track […]

Earth X-ray for Low-Impact Mining

Meeting our national and global commitments to emission reductions requires the increasing utilization of clean technologies. The demand for the minerals needed in clean-tech (such as nickel, copper, zinc, and cobalt) is expected to grow by at least fivefold in the coming years. At the same time, the mineral resource industry needs to reduce its […]

Intelligent Drowsiness Prognosis Using Chaos Theory

Drowsiness is considered the foremost cause of accidents in the mining industry. Studies estimate that up to 65% of annual accidents in mines are related to drowsiness. The total loss to the company’s assets is around $22.6 billion and operator lives are not replaceable. The lack of real-time drowsiness monitoring and prognosis in the mining […]

Developing CLEWs Modelling Tools to Support Sustainable Development (4)

The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) model allows for representation of the Nexus interactions between different sectors. Applied in Sustainable Development contexts, the CLEWs model enhances policy coherence and supports effective decision making. Over the last few years partners at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and Loughborough University (United Kingdom) have […]

Populism, Democracy and the State: Argentine Rural Movements in Pursuit of Sustainable Development

The purpose of this project is to analyze the role of Argentine rural social movements in facing the advancement of right-wing conservative forces and ‘regressive populism,’ and in the establishment of a new hegemonic formation that can deepen democracy instead. It aims to analyze these movements’ socioeconomic, political, and cultural practices and their strategies for […]

Water and CO2 Electrolysis: Understanding Ion transport

Water and CO2 Electrolysis paves the way for clean storage for renewable and green energy/electricity. Water electrolysis being a well developed technology lays the groundwork for designing the CO2 electrolysers. In the recent years the research focus has, however, shifted from proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers to anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysers, as AEM based […]

Porphyrin/phthalocyanine CO2 electroreduction catalysts

We are interested in the development of new technology that uses CO2 to make chemicals or next-generation fuels. Such technology would address concerns about curbing emissions and alternative fuel sources. Our objective is to investigate catalysts that can selectively and efficiently convert CO2 to CO, which is desirable because CO is a valuable commercial compound […]

AI-driven evaluation of clinical electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings

The proposed project is part of a large-scale collaboration between SFU’s Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience Institute (BCNI) and Fraser Health Authority(FHA) in the domain of AI applied to clinical electroencephalographic (EEG) scans recorded and evaluated in the process of diagnostic workup in FHA’s public hospitals (n>40’000). The key goal of the SFU/FHA collaboration is to […]

AYAZAZI

My doctoral work will leverage data from the AYAZAZI study, a longitudinal cohort study which assesses intersecting socio-behavioural, structural, and biomedical HIV risk factors among HIV-negative or HIV-status unknown youth in two South African communities, to examine the biological and psychological consequences of chronic stressors. This internship will be focused on community engagement and relationship […]
