Bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) is a fundamental chemical property for predicting molecular stability and reactivity. BDEs are crucial for understanding antioxidant efficiency, enzyme catalysis, surface functionalization chemistry, and drug discovery. This project will focus on predicting BDEs for C-O and C-C bond types in lignin-derived molecules, essential for efficient lignin decomposition processes in biofuel production […]

This research explores the integration of quantum computing with statistical methods to enhance public transit origin–destination (OD) matrix estimation. Traditional OD estimation relies on automated fare collection (AFC) and automatic passenger counting (APC) data, which often present challenges due to incomplete coverage. Scaling techniques like iterative proportional fitting (IPF) help address these gaps, but their […]

The internship project is aimed at improving the visibility and reach of Sport Product Testing to small and medium enterprises. To address this, SPT is looking to bring on a master’s in biomedical technology student to help enhance […]

The proposed research project addresses the transformative potential of CO2 valorization in industrial processes, turning waste emissions into valuable products while advancing economic and environmental goals. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a necessary option, but in a truly circular, net-zero economy, there will be opportunities for CO2 to be used as a resource. We […]

Development of a system (template, plugin, API) to integrate cloud based services such as GIS, IoT and interactive gaming streams into a browser based user interface.

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

This project investigates the SPbeta bacteriophage, a model organism in phage biology with significant implications for microbiology and biotechnology. The primary objective is to develop and refine methods for its purification and biochemical characterization, enabling a detailed analysis of its structure and function. Using targeted deletion mutants, we aim to identify key genes and proteins […]

The boreal zone of Alberta is under increasing pressure from natural resource extraction. Roads, seismic lines, well pads, and other industrial-disturbance features exert cumulative environmental effects on the region’s vegetation, wildlife, hydrology, and carbon dynamics. The purpose of this project is to develop remote-sensing tools and workflows that help us describe, understand, and mitigate some […]

As one of the most promising pathways to achieve zero-emission targets, Canada and Germany launched their respective hydrogen strategies. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) for green hydrogen production and hydrogen-fed PEM fuel cells (PEMFCs) for zero-emission vehicles are two technologies considered to be crucial parts of the future hydrogen infrastructure in both countries. Although […]

This project aims to improve carbon capture technologies by testing and optimizing new solvents and process designs for capturing CO2 from industrial emissions. By using advanced computer simulations and experimental testing, the project will help identify the most effective solvents and strategies to reduce the costs and energy needed for carbon capture. The project will […]

Methane is a key greenhouse gas (GHG), and atmospheric methane emissions in Alberta are associated with a variety of industry sectors: sanitary landfills, wood waste landfills, feedlot operations and the oil and gas sector. When the quantities released at individual locations are relatively small, this methane cannot be used as an energy source; therefore, environmentally […]

This project aims to develop a novel wearable microneedle patch that can painlessly measure muscle activity more accurately and comfortably than current technologies, with the potential to transform how neuromuscular disorders like Parkinson’s are diagnosed and managed. It leverages the University of Calgary’s expertise in low-cost, scalable microfabrication techniques and University College Dublin’s expertise in […]
