L2M – Miniature EEG BCI with Wireless Power Charging Proposal

Nowadays, many young Canadians [2] and newcomers [1] begin their financial journey with limited access to guidance on saving and investing, which leaves them at risk of debt and missed opportunities to build wealth. Existing tools are often complex and designed for experienced investors, not beginners. This project aims to develop and validate GradientX, an […]

For manual wheelchair users, mobility means pushing thousands of times each day, often leading to pain, fatigue, and upper-limb injuries. SensRIM is an innovative, sensor-integrated ergonomic pushrim designed to transform this daily effort into data-driven mobility, enhancing independence, comfort, and health outcomes. By embedding soft tactile sensors that directly measure propulsion forces and detect user […]

Our process takes bulk cellulose and upgrades it to cellulose nanocrystals — a valuable nanomaterial. This novel method now holds a provisional patent, but we need Lab2Market (L2M) to help us validate our process and implement it in industry. L2M will aid in identifying our potential customers, making sure our tech links well with existing […]

Sturgeon Bank is a Wildlife Management Area within the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, and west of the City of Richmond, British Columbia. Sturgeon Bank is primarily comprised of intertidal marsh, mud flats and open water, and provides several ecological and coastal risk mitigation benefits. However, monitoring indicates that Sturgeon Bank’s salt […]

The description of solid state systems form an intractable many-body problem as every particle is pushed and pulled due to Coulomb’s law by the other particles. It is almost impossible to directly describe every particle in a macroscopic system (with 10^24 particles). A clever solution involves simplifying the many-body problem into a problem of hypothetical […]

Respiratory muscle training (RMT) is a technique used to strengthen the muscles involved in breathing, aiming to improve breathing efficiency and endurance. While there is evidence that RMT can enhance exercise performance, muscle strength, and reduce breathlessness, there is still debate in the field due to the wide variety of devices and methods used. There […]

Climate communication often uses doom-and-gloom messages that highlight the devastation of climate change, which can provoke negative emotions and might be counterproductive. Therefore, this project aims to test whether happy messages that highlight the personal happiness benefits of climate action can increase social media engagement and climate action across Canada. In collaboration with One Earth […]

This project explores the use of wetting agents containing thiocarbonyl functional groups to enhance copper extraction from metal sulfides. By investigating reaction mechanisms, optimizing reagent concentrations, and refining leaching conditions, the research aims to improve copper recovery while minimizing environmental impact. The study will assess the catalytic behavior and reaction kinetics of these agents in […]

As an anti-inflammatory drug has been recently approved to prevent heart attacks in heart disease patients, specific blood tests are needed to guide the application of such drugs. There is currently no blood test to identify patients who may benefit from this drug. This project aims to evaluate the accuracy of a current clinical blood […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that leads to acute episodes of worsening respiratory symptoms termed pulmonary exacerbations (PEx). The current PEx treatment paradigm involves using oral or intravenous antibiotics under the assumption that all of these episodes are caused by worsening bacterial infection, but PEx can also be attributed to viral infections, air pollution, […]
