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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Circle Neurovascular Imaging (CNVI) aims to improve the standard of care for stroke patients by providing physicians critical information assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) through their innovative software platform, StrokeSENS, which is designed to aid the clinician in making quicker, more accurate decisions about patient management. StrokeSENS, has partial clinical approval in the EU and […]

This community project will train men from diverse ethnocultural backgrounds and support them in leading well-being groups with men from their communities. Evaluations from past projects have underscored the importance of engaging men in conversations of well-being, healthy relationships, and violence-prevention. This includes the need for further outreach to support men in accessing services and […]
