In this project, we will devleop various demodulation and encoding techniques to enhance the performance of receiving data in the EM telemetry process. In EM Telemetry process, a ‘measuring information and data while drilling’ application, transmit and communicate wirelessly from downhole to the surface. Due to the challenge of the earth behavior, low frequency communication […]

The goal of the project is to determine if the cannabis-derived, non-psychoactive compound, cannabigerol (CBG) (a key component of Cannabis), which is known to reduce inflammation in a mouse model of colon inflammation, can also prevent intestinal strictures (fibrosis) and narrowing of the intestine in the setting of intestinal inflammation. We will use cell culture […]

Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring prior to and during labor and delivery is a common clinical practice, that guides therapy and decision making. A non-stress test (NST), also known as fetal heart rate (fHR) monitoring, is a common prenatal test used to check on a baby’s health. The maternal electrocardiogram (mECG) is generally the most prominent […]

The solar energy market has recently experienced an exponential growth due to the increase in the energy demand and environmental issues. In this research program, a DC-Optimizer system will be designed and developed to harvest the maximum power from solar tiles installed on the rooftops of residential buildings in an efficient and cost-effective way. This […]

The Dolphin and Union caribou herd is integral to Inuit culture, subsistence and identity. Preliminary local and scientific knowledge both indicate that this caribou herd is declining and in poorer health than before. We need to bring everyone together and use everything we know about Dolphin and Union caribou, the environment and the other animals […]

This Phase I proposal is intended to undertake a requirements-gathering and an initial system design for a system that exploits the integrity guarantees of blockchain technology and the high throughput capability of commercial/open source transactional database management systems (DBMS). Although current approaches will be a part of the solution, innovation is required to allow for […]

The candidate will study multiple configurations of buildings made with steel modular units and analyse their structural performance under seismic loads. This will allow the company Entuitive Corporation to expand their area of operation as well as their client base.

Many architecture and design firms in Calgary have a strong desire to incorporate parametric software (BIM) and digital manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies into their design processes in order to meet evolving client demands, regulatory requirements, and sustainability performance targets. These are necessary criteria that constitute high-quality built environments capable of meeting the needs of multiple stakeholders […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

Regeneration of destroyed arteries using the patient’s own stem cells is an innovative new treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease, that is currently being tested in humans in a Phase II trial. Throughout clinical studies, there has been an issue efficiently recruiting patients and clinical trial sites. Recruitment is recognized as a key determinant of success […]

The development of Canada’s energy infrastructure requires significant investment at all levels. Energy companies considering such investments require a complete understanding of the projected value of the prospective asset, as well as the associated risks. Often, a significant portion of the value comes from the flexibility provided by the asset. This project will use option […]

Since the 1960s, the lands of several indigenous communities such as the Fort McKay Métis have been largely impacted by open mines and steam assisted gravity drainages (SAGDs). Such oil sands operations have disturbed large areas, changed geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, aquatic and terrestrial environment, and created a linear disturbance. This research project will map and […]
