This project is geared towards improving lithium battery technology in order to increase the amount of charges it can store, the speed at which the charges are used and recharged, the cost and the overall efficiency of the battery system. In addition, it has been designed to further understand the battery technology and the identify […]

This project is initiated to shift this company from having developed an advanced algae cultivation platform developed through research, into a commercial enterprise. To achieve this we need to build demand for the algae product (spirulina) within the market place. As we succeed in creating demand, this will trigger the release of funding to continue […]

Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiome works as an organ of the human body. The gut microbiome functions like an endocrine organ producing bioactive metabolites. Since the gut microbiome is in close interaction with the human internal environment and changes in the compositions of gut microbiota can impact host physiology through many pathways. […]

Effective monitoring is an important component in safety and security related applications. Equipment failure, trespassing, theft and vandalism are all regular occurrences that the companies must deal with. These kinds of problems emphasize the importance of designing a state-of-the-art system for monitoring. In this project a system will be devised and trained to detect different […]

This study is focusing on using real demand (number of passengers in each station) and historical weather data to find the best (optimal) location of charging station and their charging duration for a bus route that deploys battery electric buses. In addition, this study tries to find the best arrangement of using holding points for […]

The Child Abuse Services (CAS) at Alberta Health Services previously approached our research team to collaboratively address the lengthy waitlists for children seeking to receive trauma services. Accordingly, an online module was co-developed to provide caregivers with initial resources while their child is on the waitlist. The present research will involve using qualitative research methodology […]

The City of Calgary has identified four locations along the Elbow River where erosion may be(come) of concern for the safety of the nearby urban areas. This project will study the change in the shape of the Elbow River over time and in different conditions in order to enhance the understanding of its behaviour. This […]

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLBs) are considered the “holy grail” of battery chemistry because of their high capacity and energy density and will remain the dominating technology for the foreseeable future. However, lithium-metal anodes may trigger dendrites growth at high current, which reduces their cycle life, and safety, making SSLBs more challenging to commercialize. Also, […]

Older adults are the largest growing segment of the Canadian population. Almost 40% of men and 59% of women aged 65 to 79 years of age experience sleep disturbances. Little research has been done to examine sleep quality of assisted living residents through objective measures. This project aims to understand the association between sleep quality, […]

MichifMedia is creating new educational resources through digital twins of landscapes, with a focus on our shared indigenous history. We will be using existing LiDAR scans done by the University of Lethbridge, and other available sources to create digital twins of three locations. These will be hosted online so they can be accessed for free […]

Meat mass production is associated with many issues, from animal welfare, antibiotic use, climate change, destruction of ecological systems and wildlife extinction. Cultured meat industry is promising alternative to that, which offers the actual meat (not plant-based) without aforementioned issues. This project aims to contribute to development of cultured fat from a pig-derived stem cell. […]

To support blue hydrogen economy processes that generate CO2 as a by-product, and greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration studies in general, the injection and storage of CO2 into deep (~1500m), un-minable coal seams hosted in the Mannville Formation of Alberta will be studied. Using the successful proof-of-concept field injection pilot results from the first phase of […]
