Current EV charging systems are forecasted to create a strain on the electrical grid system that will require large capital projects to upgrade by utilities and municipalities to manage. This project will be focused on customer discovery and market analysis of an new off-grid EV charging and energy storage system. The resulting data will be […]

NovusTX Devices is a Calgary-based start-up company founded at the University of Calgary working on the development of ultrasound-based neuromodulation therapy. Our group is building a new medical device aimed at treating neurological disorders. Our team has access to a strong network of research and clinical collaborators that will allow us to deliver an effective […]

Ten Peaks Innovation Alliance is an Alberta not-for-profit organization with the mandate to educate Alberta youth in the areas of innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship as it relates to energy, environment and climate. My project will involve developing a suite of workshops, lesson plans, web-content, and student action programs which centre around energy transition, emerging climate […]

A. Overall Project Objective Recent research at the University of Calgary has focused on shear walls and on evaluating the influence of various parameters on in-plane shear capacity. The reason for this is that, for example, while it is recognized by most researchers that compression on walls increases the shear strength of masonry, the quantification […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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. […]

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) […]

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 […]

The goal of this research project is to build a techno-economic map which may be used to estimate the generalized project costs and revenues associated with a geothermal energy project in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). The model will estimate practical factors such as: mobilization expenses and proximity of a potential site to existing […]

Wave View Imaging is developing a novel breast imaging device that uses microwave signals to create an image of the breast. The technology has significant potential to be used at point of care to monitor breast health. Wave View Imaging is actively exploring the application of monitoring neo-adjuvant therapy. This treatment approach is provided for […]
