In this project, researchers from the NeuroFUS lab at the University of Calgary led by Dr. Pichardo and Dr. N’Djin’s group from LabTAU at INSERM and the University of Lyon collaborate to improve focused ultrasound (FUS) technology by characterizing a new ring-shaped transducer. FUS is a flexible technique that targets deep tissue with sound waves […]

ARBI (Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured) is a non-profit association in Calgary which has been recognized for over 40 years as a pioneer in community-based brain injury rehabilitation. It is unique in Canada for the combination of professional and volunteer services for long-term neurorehabilitation that addresses both the physical and emotional impacts […]

The Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) is a national, not-for-profit workforce development organization focused on strengthening Canada’s digital economy. ICTC’s research team conducts labour market and workforce development research, as well as program evaluation for ICTC’s workforce development programs (run by ICTC’s programs team). ICTC intends to begin offering program evaluation services externally, and […]

The proposed project aims to enhance services at Proxure through research, strategy development, and marketing initiatives. By analyzing market trends, assisting with fundraising efforts, and refining marketing strategies, the project seeks to strengthen Proxure’s competitive position, attract investors, and increase brand awareness. Ultimately, these efforts will drive growth and success for Proxure in the competitive […]

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur frequently in field/court sports and often require surgical reconstruction (ACLR) and a long rehabilitation that can last 12 months or more. Return to sport (RTS) criteria are not well defined and this may be one factor contributing to the high ACL reinjury rate and sport participation attrition. A central […]

Wind energy technology plays a crucial role in the global strategy for a green transition, with a significant acceleration in deploying new wind power plants being essential to meet global CO2 reduction targets. In this context, research in numerical simulation can provide the renewable energy sector with reliable tools for new wind farm design, land […]

While mountain biking is a sport of growing popularity among adolescents and adults alike, it is also notoriously injurious. Mountain biking is associated with high rates of head injuries, and exposure to sub-concussive head acceleration events. Despite this, limited research has investigated the extent to which mountain biking participation contributes to brain injury and cognitive […]

In developed countries cancer is the second most important cause of death. Since 1 in 4 Canadians will die of the disease and 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (PC), advanced chemotherapeutic treatments represent an important strategy to reduce cancer deaths without compromising a patients quality of life during and post-treatment. […]

A consequence of modern development of low-permeability (‘unconventional’) reservoirs using multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) is inter-well communication. Because inter-well communication can affect well performance for many wells, oil and gas operating companies are interested in the development of easy-to-implement, but effective, reservoir engineering methods for quantifying inter-well connectivity between MFHWs. Current methods for quantifying inter-well […]

Ferma Farms 2024 Internship – Fermentation Optimization and Scale-Up The optimization and continuous harvesting of fungal biomass production

Total recordable injury rates (TRIRs) have declined significantly over the past thirty years, yet serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) have not. With the Alberta Mine Safety Association (AMSA) and member companies, we will summarize and evaluate the leading indicators for SIFs, use subject matter experts and integrative AIML to develop and assess SIF predictive measures, […]

A substantial proportion of the lithium used in energy storage and numerous other applications is extracted from naturally occurring continental brines. The recycling of the lithium-ion batteries, which are experiencing a sharp increase in demand, also involves extraction of lithium from solutions containing other battery metals. The proposed research targets the development of sorbents for […]
