Pathways to Net-zero, Alternative Energy Systems for Drilling and Completions Operations

The research will involve identifying greenhouse gas reduction options for the oil and gas sector’s drilling and completions operations. Scope 1 emissions (i.e., emissions directly from operations) and scope 2 emissions (emissions from utility supplied power) will be tackled. This will be done by looking into using utility supplied power to operate drilling rigs, using […]

Correlation of Coronary and Myocardial Strain Profiles for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Year Two

Throughout my Doctoral Studies I have used various approaches to evaluate and/or predict the behaviour of cardiovascular structures in the setting of acquired disease. These have been focussed on two key methodologies: insilico testing aimed at predicting functional responses to therapeutic intervention, such as mechano-electric Finite Element Method (FEM) modelling of the left atrium strains […]

Small Hydro and Pumped Energy Storage – IRRICAN Power

There is a network of reservoirs and canals that are used to irrigate farmland in Southern Alberta. They are already used for some hydropower generation and my research will estimate the run-of-river power generation potential at three newly identified sites in the vicinity of the Chin Reservoir in Southern Alberta. Furthermore, two of these sites […]

Momentum – Data Ecosystem

Momentum believes that the data available from wearable technology in today’s market can be harnessed for effective athletic programming. This data can be used to baseline athletes, deliver valuable holistic feedback, and train models that will reduce the amount of time coaches spend programming. Momentum needs help validating critical hypotheses and assumptions to this belief. […]

Quality assurance for stroke decision support software in development (release 2.0)

Acute stroke is a leading cause of global death and disability. Quick access to robust treatments significantly improves patient outcomes, however, accurate interpretation of diagnostic imaging and effective communication of suspected findings remains a serious challenge for all stroke networks. Circle Neurovascular Imaging (Circle NVI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Circle Cardiovascular Imaging (Circle CVI) […]

Eavor-Loop geothermal at the University of Calgary: A techno-economic pre-feasibility study

Geothermal technology can provide clean and reliable energy in a wide variety of applications and is expected to play a crucial role in reducing energy-related GHG emissions to limit climate change in accordance with the Paris Agreement. We propose to conduct a techno-economic pre-feasibility analysis to determine the suitability of an Eavor-Loop closed-loop geothermal system […]

Psilocybin dosing and adult neurogenesis

Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound that alters states of consciousness to allow free imagination and insightful creativity. Its ability to induce complex behavioral and psychological changes has led to its resurgence in psychedelic-enhanced psychotherapy. Despite positive clinical efficacy from a handful of trials, an optimal (or even variable) treatment paradigm has yet to be established. […]

Control of point source low volume methane emission using methanobiofilterationtechnology Year Two

Methanobiofiltration (MBF) is a new technology for the treatment of waste methane gas using a biological process, thus contributing to the reduction of the environmental impacts of current energy technologies. The lack of a complete technology package needed for various industry sectors has hindered its large-scale application in Alberta. With the fundamental knowledge and extensive […]

OLabERATE: OLab Education Research Analytics Toolset Expansion

Virtual scenarios, which are similar to choose-your-own-adventure stories, in online format, are a powerful way to assess how well a young professional can make decisions and solve problems. This is different from most learning software that tests how well they remember factoids and tidbits. OLab is a tool for playing and creating virtual scenarios. It […]
