Future cellular systems must accommodate increasing demand for very high throughput and low latency data services. Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) approach involving base stations equipped with much larger numbers of antennas than the numbers of users served promises to significantly increase network capacity, while nonorthogonal multi-carrier transmission is expected to dramatically reduce the latency. Integration […]

We propose the construction of novel ultrasound transducer structures based on existing MEMS technology that has been in development through collaboration between Micralyne and Prof. Roger Zemp. We will be exploring linear array transducers intended for medical imaging, and individual transducers for automotive use for ultrasound range finding. We will undertake the design, modelling, fabrication, […]

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer-related cause of death in Canada. This high mortality rate is largely due to the lack of a cost-effective, patient-accepted and sensitive screening tool. Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI) has developed a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based urinary diagnostic test for detecting colonic polyps (PolypDx™). Identification of adenomatous polyps […]

Whether conforming safely with the movements of humans, executing adaptable motion to navigate unpredictable terrain, or handling delicate objects with precision, soft robots are revolutionizing the way machines interact with the world. Soft robots take inspiration from biological systems, incorporating soft and stretchable materials to achieve lifelike motion. However, the fabrication of these advanced systems […]

We address the limitations and hazards of current wildfire detection and suppression methods, focusing initially on Alberta’s boreal zone. Alberta Wildfire uses aircraft, helicopters, specialized equipment, and trained personnel, but these methods have critical drawbacks. Crewed aerial systems cannot operate 24/7, leaving gaps when fires can go undetected. Additionally, deploying personnel is expensive and not […]

The cleanliness of restroom drives people’s preferences. In places such as hotels, restaurants and hospitals, a dirty bathroom will drive away potential customers as it lead them to question the cleanliness of the whole facility. Visionstate Inc. developed WANDA (Washroom Attendant Notification Digital Aid), a LCD touch screen that display the time of most recent […]

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. Qilong Yu (Machine […]

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common and aggressive form of kidney cancer, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of early symptoms. This project aims to improve RCC diagnosis by identifying metabolic biomarkers through a multiomics approach, integrating metabolomics and transcriptomics data. Using advanced mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and computational tools like CAT […]

After the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada have focused on entrepreneurship to create jobs and stimulate growth across its various regions but is yet to bring many underrepresented groups into this vision. Black Canadians, among others, face unique and significant barriers to entrepreneurship, especially with handling finances. They already suffer many socio-economic disadvantages tied to racism. The […]

This project aims to study physical activity, sedentary behavior, and physical fitness in 600 pregnant women across all three trimesters to better understand their impact on maternal and fetal health. While regular physical activity during pregnancy is known to reduce the risk of complications such as depression, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure, many women […]

The effective antimicrobial treatment of bone infections / osteomyelitis are often hampered by the secretion of beta-lactamase enzymes that inactivate the beta-lactam ring of otherwise effective penicillins and related antibiotics. To neutralize enzyme activity, beta-lactam antibiotics will often be co-administered with beta-lactamase inhibitors, such as Tazobactam. However, the systemic introduction of beta-lactamase inhibitors may not […]

This project explores the application of the Koopman Operator to system dynamics for the application within model predictive control of hydrogen-enhanced diesel engines. Investigating different implementation options and leveraging data-driven machine learning approaches, the aim is to reduce computational effort while enabling system-theoretic analysis of the dynamic system representation. The topic aligns closely with the […]
