Finding the right real estate property that grows in value over the next few years is of paramount importance. For doing so, one of the most important factors is to estimate the current value of the property as well as its future value. The goal of this project is to build a data and domain-driven […]

Telehealth/Telemedicine covers a variety of medical services offered through media such as telephone, email and the internet. As technology evolves, these online medical services can be further enhanced to improve the user experience. In this project, we aim to focus on a particular set-up where the patients interact with doctors over a chat service. The […]

With an aging population on the rise, the prevalence of cognitive decline is expected to increase substantially. Goal Management Training® (GMT) and the Memory and Aging Program® (MAP) are cognitive interventions that have been studied extensively and applied clinically to address these needs. Although previous research has demonstrated efficacy of the in-person versions of both […]

The problem of cancer chemotherapy is the severe toxic side effects on healthy tissues. The use of liposomes as a chemotherapeutic drug carrier can accumulate at the tumour site, but the timely release of the drug has remained as a problem. Liposome systems that respond to hyperthermal temperature is one of the approaches for triggered […]

Bio-fuels derived from biomass can supply a proportion of energy consumption in Canada and can reduce our dependence on the availability of fossil-fuels which is depleting. This research is proposed 10 convert wasle biomass into value-added products, such as fuels and chemicals species. This research proposes to utilize Fenton-type reactions to convert lignin under ambient […]

The fault ride-through (FRT) capability of a wind farm is major challenge because the disconnection of a large wind farms caused by network disturbances may lead to system instability and cascaded failures. Recent studies mostly focused on FRT capabilities for the voltage-source converter (VSC) based wind farms. Although, the current-source converter (CSC) based wind energy […]

Although several attempts have been carried out to derive statistics about eN Tower lightning current waveform parameters, which are essential for the design of appropriate protection systems, the results have been limited use because of the nature of the collected data. The absence of both the continuous and continuing currents from the collected data, made […]

A hi-directional converter is proposed to implement the integration of electric vehicle to the grid and household electric system. The proposed converter has two stages: a grid-connected convener. and a dc/de converter. The grid-connected converter can operate in three modes. The first of which is a battery charger. The grid-connected wi II control the power […]

The goal of this project is to develop advanced mathematical algorithms integrated with the probe design technique to improve the SNR of an NMR measurement. The proposed methods are summarized as: 1) Apply Compressed sensing (CS) technique associated with the optimized recovery method to the current obtained NMR signals. 2) Time-averaging technique can also be […]

Non-palpable breast cancers, needing localization before removal, make approximately 60% of the diagnosed breast cancers. The gold standard for localizing includes implanting protruding wires or radioactive seeds in the lesion. The wires are not accurate, cause pain and discomfort to the patients, while the radioactive seeds warrant strict administrative and safety requirements. MOLLI Surgical Inc. […]

Balloons have potential benefits over stents for localised drug delivery. The activities in this proposal will aid the development of a dual balloon catheter system. By the end of the internship, the balloon catheter design will be completed and frozen in anticipation of pre-clinical studies. The gold standard for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease is […]

Additive manufacturing (AM), 3D printing, offers flexibility in manufacturing and can process a wide range of materials. In this project, polymers and composites are investigated to increase mechanical performance, and to reduce weight, cost, and lead time of candidate parts. Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) can greatly benefit from AM processes in aircraft engine components. […]
