We have looked into the CSI problem as a two-phase problem in a heterogeneous (matrix, wormhole) porous medium. If the solvent is a light hydrocarbon, this is fine. However, especially with CO2 and DME, mass transfer to and from the aqueous phase is substantial. In this project, we take advantage of our extensive experience in […]

Nearly one in ten people that are hospitalized in Canada develop a complication with sudden loss of kidney function, called acute kidney injury (AKI), which may lead to other severe health problems such as kidney failure requiring dialysis treatment, heart attacks and failure, stroke and even premature death. Discharge from hospital can be a difficult […]

The global pandemic has made it clear that there is an urgent need for high-quality mental health services for children and youth. Right now, quality is measured in terms of the number of visits to clinics, emergency departments, hospitalizations, and the costs associated with those services. The voices of children, youth, and their families are […]

Real-time prediction of incoming turbulence has important practical utility in the control and monitoring of fluid systems. Flow estimation using smart sensing techniques will improve our ability to predict and control these flows. However, current sensor-based flow reconstruction methods have not been tested to effectively resolve multi-scale, chaotic and unsteady turbulent phenomena that are commonly […]

Aurora Heat, Inc. is a seasonal social enterprise that earns the bulk of its revenue during the Fall and Winter months. In order to curb seasonal influxes of cash flow, the organization has prototyped and informally tested a new to market sensory intervention product called the NEZU™. The NEZU™ is an Indigenous-designed sensory intervention made […]

ConocoPhillips Canada (CPC) is evaluating transformational technologies to reduce GHGs by up to 90% allowing for efficient Alberta resource development on a per barrel and supply cost basis in a carbon-constrained, globally competitive market. Warm applied solvent process refers to pre-heated solvents that are injected/co-injected with steam as an elimination/evolution of the current Steam Assisted […]

Ayrshire is an investment management firm focused principally on real estate investing in Alberta. We own retail, office and residential properties in multiple markets. Recently we have seen a shift in investment demand associated with new acquisition and developments of multifamily apartment housing in Western Canada. Recently Ayrshire received federal funding through CHMC Rental Construction […]

Sea ice is an integral part of the climate system. To obtain hemispheric-scale information about sea ice and the snow cover on top, satellite radar remote sensing is the method of choice. Microwave frequencies are ideally suited to observe sea ice/snow because they are independent of clouds and penetrate the snow and sea ice. However, […]

The goal of the research project is to enhance ATB’s fraud detection by incorporating new graph based features. Initially, the project will be focused on figuring out how to use ATB’s data to build graph features. Once the data is processed, these additional graph variables will be used to improve the existing fraud detection machine […]

Micro and minigrids supplied by solar and wind power are an important solution to remote access to electricity. This project is a feasibility study investigating adding a flow battolyser into a microgrid system. When installed in a micro/ minigrid, the flow battolyser supplies metered electricity and hydrogen gas to homes, small businesses, and community buildings […]

This project aims to develop advanced power sources that can convert indoor light into electricity to operate electronic sensors for the Internet of things. The proposed new technology is termed “indoor photovoltaics”. The aim is to create flexible, lightweight, semi-transparent devices of different colours at a minimal cost. Using new chemistry principles, photoactive material design, […]
