This project aims to improve alarm systems in industrial facilities to help plant operators respond more effectively during abnormal situations by developing advanced, data-driven solutions. While alarm systems are designed to notify operators of abnormalities or equipment failures, in practice, operators often face an overwhelming number of alarms, many of which are unnecessary or repetitive. […]

This project brings together Davey Textile Solutions and the Multifunctional Design and Additive Manufacturing (MDAM) Lab at the University of Alberta to enhance textile production using additive manufacturing technology. Traditional tooling in textile factories is often generic and not optimized for ergonomics or specific tasks. This project addresses these limitations by designing and 3D printing […]

The ability to isolate, control, and characterize individual spin states of qubits/quantum dots is crucial for quantum sensing and quantum computing. Achieving control over such quantum systems requires a fundamental understanding of materials at the atomic level. The best tool to access this information is scanning probe microscopy (SPM), which enables atomic-scale fabrication, and characterization […]

Battery technology plays a central role in driving significant advancements across various industries, ranging from electric vehicles to the Internet of Things. Among the various types of batteries, Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) exhibit potential advantages and are on the verge of commercialization due to their lower cost, enhanced safety, and greater availability compared to Li-ion batteries. […]

Metabolomics, with a focus on the analysis of all small molecules or the metabolome, has become an important tool for biological studies and biomarker discovery. It has a wide range of applications, including the improvement of disease diagnosis and prognosis in the clinic, the development of superior agriculture and agri-food products with enhanced production and […]

This project aims to study how football players move and interact on the field by using advanced data analysis. We will combine local GPS data from Uruguayan women’s football with international event data (such as World Cups) to better understand team tactics, physical performance, and coordination between players. By applying tools from statistics and data […]

Stormwater ponds are widely used across urban areas to improve water quality, yet their actual long-term performance under different design standards remains poorly quantified. This project will evaluate how efficiently these ponds remove sediment and associated pollutants by applying a mass-balance approach and tracking deposition rates through time. Although the technology is assumed to work, […]

The City of Edmonton’s River Valley and Ravine system is a vital natural asset, supported by policies like the City Plan, Natural Connections and Breathe: Edmonton’s Green Network Strategy. To foster connectivity, the City uses wildlife passages to ensure safe animal movement and reduce human-wildlife conflict. This project will build on past research efforts to […]

In the context of developing an academic activity as part of the intern’s postgraduate studies and building a new international research collaboration, the University of Alberta and the Tecnológico de Monterrey propose this research stay project, promoting a strategic initiative of artificial intelligence (AI) and the establishment of Industry 5.0 in fields such as agriculture […]

Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley and Ravine System (“the River Valley”) is a core component of the city’s open space network. In accordance with the City of Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley Area Redevelopment Plan, an environmental impact assessment is required for proposed development, such as utility infrastructure or parks amenities, in the River Valley. […]

This project will partner with an Alberta-based manufacturer(s) producing recycled-rubber products (e.g., recycled-rubber noise barrier panels, traffic barriers, fitness flooring, brake pads, and agricultural mats). The goal is for the Sustainability Scholar to work in partnership with the Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA), the manufacturer and a municipal partner(s) to understand and align product performance […]

Located in the zone between Alberta’s grasslands and boreal forests, the Central Parkland natural subregion is an area of ecological transition, where many endangered species persist tenuously on the edge of their ranges, or have already been silently lost before conservationists understood what habitats and connections on the landscape were critical to their survival. In […]
