This project aims to enhance the surface durability of aluminum components used in industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and renewable energy, while maintaining aluminum’s lightweight and corrosion-resistant qualities. The research will employ a cost-effective coating method, low-pressure cold spray, to apply aluminum–alumina composite coatings, followed by friction stir processing to further improve their quality.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal condition that affects posture, movement, and quality of life. Deficiencies in proprioception, the body’s sense of position and movement, may play a role by disrupting balance and postural control, contributing to spinal misalignment. Scoliosis is typically assessed with static images such as X-rays, which cannot show how […]

Up to 40% of stroke survivors can experience aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write. However, one of the most effective ways to accurately assess aphasia, discourse analysis, remains underutilized. Discourse analysis is usually time-consuming and performed manually, leading to varying results between clinicians. It can also […]

Transport Canada is the regulatory agency in Canada that oversees the certification of RPAS (Remotely piloted aircraft systems) and has presented a roadmap for RPAS manufacturers to demonstrate the evidence that a given platform can meet safety objectives. The project will be completed by the iART alliance and aims to develop the technical evidence required […]

1. Our primary mandate at API is to advance basic research and innovation to commercialization by providing access to world-class industry expertise, services, and infrastructure. Our activities focuses on engaging and supporting drug discovery and development initiatives, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and driving innovation and commercialization through collaborative research and clinical studies. 2. The […]

In this project, we are working on a large repository of historical homicide case files, which is majorly unstructured text. We are building a framework for knowledge graph extraction with the help of existing information extraction models further augmented and made robust with the help of existing state-of-the-art publicly available LLMs’ zero/few shot capabilities. We […]

Biomimicking involves drawing inspiration from nature to design materials and structures that replicate their unique properties, including optical, chemical, physical, and thermal characteristics. With this study, the objective is to determine the characteristics of fabrics that can give the same tactile properties, i.e., when touching with the hand, as natural materials, for example rose petals. […]

Imagine a cell phone camera with only 32×32 (1024 or 1K) pixels. The image quality would be very poor. This is the current regime where 3D ultrasound imaging is at. Going to Mega-Pixel sensors would create a quantum jump in 2D and 3D image quality. However, doing so is challenging since in ultrasound MHz range […]

This project between the Evaluation Capacity Network (ECN) at the University of Alberta and the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) has 3 objectives: (1) support AMP and its partner organizations in implementing a community-based evaluation of their new Mentoring for Youth and Young Adults from Care (MYYAC) program; (1a) provide evaluation capacity building supports to facilitate […]

Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA offer exceptional opportunities to fight against infectious and genetic diseases. To use nucleic acids effectively in a clinical setting, one needs to use effective delivery vehicles that can deliver the nucleic acids into the diseased cells. This project will develop effective delivery systems for this purpose. The delivery […]
