With a focus on enhancing hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, crucial for renewable energy generation, fuel production, and energy storage, the project addresses pressing global […]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death and disability, with 1 in 3 of us at risk of the disease. Screening for relevant biomarkers regularly can help prevent and manage CVD. This project focuses on the acquisition and analysis of CVD biomarkers obtained using a device consisting of polymeric pressure sensors and advanced […]

Building construction sector plays important roles in Canadian economy, which also has high demand. Studies in this field can make substantial contributions to the society. This study is proposed to explore the usage of a standard documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are a set of detailed and concise written instructions that describe the sequential […]

Organic semiconductors have driven the development of next generation technologies such as printable solar cells, flexible displays, and wearable electronics. Such devices are based on thin films of organic semiconductors, often blended with other semiconductors or nanomaterials. The structure and morphology of a thin film plays a crucial role in the performance and efficiency of […]

The research project aims to explore rain droplet kinetic energy harvesting for advanced engineering applications in the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) technology. As the world increasingly seeks renewable energy sources and sustainable technologies, the concept of harvesting wasted energy forms from the environment gains significance. One promising avenue is reverse electrowetting on dielectric (REWOD), […]

The Inuit language with most speakers is Kalaallisut, the official language of Greenland. Nevertheless, linguistic descriptions of Kalaallisut are far less numerous and complete than for European languages like English. In particular, there is little research on how speakers highlight new information and relate it to information already discussed earlier in a conversation – even […]

This project is to continue to implement data analysis algorithms for real time analysis of precision feeding data provided by a novel custom poultry precision feeding system. In addition if time allows work on some computer vision algorithms to detect the presence of a bird in a feeding station.

Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has revolutionized surgical procedures, offering advantages over traditional methods. Currently, surgeons control robots for tasks like suturing and organ resection, leading to physical strain while the robot helps at the lower level by scalling down the movement and reducing hand tremor. These tasks are intricate and demand high dexterity and skill, leading […]

Simulation-based training is an critical supplement to current clinical training. However, implementing simulation technology into a curriculum to maximize training outcomes still presents a significant challenge. It is important to consider multiple factors and their impact on trainee cognitive load. In the past, we have adjusted the target stability to manage the cognitive load of […]
