This project aims to develop and evaluate an advanced augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based system designed to enhance conversational fluency for intermediate-to-advanced language learners. By integrating language practice into everyday environments, the system will offer immersive and interactive learning experiences without reliance on traditional classroom instruction or physical conversation partners. Existing literature indicates […]

This project focuses on developing new types of catalysts by designing and testing innovative molecules (ligands) that can better interact with metals and tune their properties. Catalysts are chemical species that help speed up chemical reactions, making them more efficient, selective, and sustainable. They are essential in many industries, from pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals to energy […]

Canada’s northern communities are overly dependent on diesel fuel, which poses an economic threat in the event of a supply disruption (e.g., river flooding, forest fires). Therefore, the use of geothermal energy is an essential step towards independence and self-sufficiency. In the Northwest Territories, high geothermal gradients offer long-term, year-round heating and power for northern […]

Cryptography is an important tool for safeguarding our data from attackers. The security of several modern cryptosystems relies on unproven properties of an algebraic structure called the class group of an algebraic number field. In the absence of proofs, tabulating class groups in order to generate numerical evidence of these unproven properties remains the best […]

This project aims to commercialize a smart dispatching assistant designed to help trucking and logistics companies reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. The assistant leverages cutting-edge technologies to support dispatchers in making better, faster decisions while coordinating fleets of drivers, trucks, and trailers. Over the course of the project, we will engage with industry stakeholders […]

This project will focus on developing a business strategy to help PrintedSUN bring its innovative bili-blanket to market. The bili-blanket is a portable, flexible phototherapy device designed to treat newborn jaundice while allowing for mother-baby bonding. Over four months, the project will explore market opportunities, funding options, regulatory requirements, and commercialization strategies to support the […]

This project aims to explore the commercial potential of a new microfluidic device that can isolate tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) from biological samples. These EVs have important uses in disease detection, drug delivery, and medical research. The goal is to better understand the market, identify customer needs, and develop a plan to bring […]

This research proposes a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of an innovative graphene oxide-based technology for CO2 capture, developed by the Computed Tomography Research Group (GIT) at the Industrial University of Santander (UIS). The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and impact of this technology through a comparative analysis between Colombia and Canada, focusing on its efficiency, […]

The ultimate objective of this project is to design and develop a signal/noise analyzer to improve the reliability and efficiency of EM-based measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tool within various strata formation under high temperature, deep drilling environment. In order to analyze the received signal contaminated by surface and underground noise, it is essential to understand the electrical […]

The upcoming research internship will explore hypothetical molecules derived from pyridine, which could be integrated in ligands for olefin polymerization and, potentially, depolymerization. Olefin polymerization is a catalytic process by which polyethylene and polypropylene are manufactured using catalysts incorporating unique ligand frameworks. This computational study aims to 1) determine the best ligand design for molecules […]

The proposed research aims to develop a novel and cost-effective method for producing carbon fibers using silane-grafted polyethylene (PE) as an alternative precursor. This approach integrates silane grafting, melt-spinning, stabilization, and carbonization processes to enhance the thermal stability and cross-linking of PE, making it suitable for carbon fiber production. By leveraging silane chemistry, the project […]

The goal of this project is to develop and pilot a sustainability materiality assessment framework for the Calgary Stampede. It is essential to understand stakeholder group’s values and motivations to make the best strategic decisions possible for organizations and the Calgary Stampede is no exception. By piloting the framework, it will be possible to test […]
