The main objective of this project is developing a novel technology to understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The main cause of AD has not been clearly discovered, and therefore the effective treatment to stop the disease has not yet been established. This technology which is an integration of microfluidic, nano-electronics, and optical imaging techniques would provide […]

In recent years, the use of Mathematics and Statistics in Finance has become increasingly important, with the arrival of new software and investment methods. The notion of market efficiency, particularly the assumption that assets are always correctly priced, suffers from market anomalies which lead to potential arbitrage strategies in the short run. Therefore, this project […]

With respect to large-area display applications, it is desirable to have not only the active layers but also the electrodes in the OLEDs that can be formed by solution fabrication process. To address the manufacturing challenges of high-performance OLEDs, several scalable techniques such as doctor blading, ink-jet printing, and ultrasonic spray coating have been developed […]

Skyplan Services Ltd. is a company active in the air traffic management domain. The company is interested in expanding their current working application by benefiting from advanced technology to develop an integrated environment and solutions for air traffic management in order to provide better service at the international arena. Students to be involved in this […]

Tissue engineering works to replace damaged tissue and organs, and has applications in treating diseases such as diabetes. To improve the performance of tissue engineering treatment and research, our lab has produced the microwell system which creates microtissues in the form of cellular balls. The microwell system has been used used internationally under the brand […]

This study 1) examines the lives of 3 to 5 non-status migrants in Calgary; 2) determines the challenges that these individuals face in accessing healthcare and social services; and 3) ascertains available services as well as the obstacles to services that are essential to these individuals’ social and economic integration. In general, my research answers […]

Managing daily life can be overwhelming when living with low income, mental illness, addiction, and social isolation/discrimination. When crises occur, intergenerational cycles of trauma can result. Social support and strength can be found in families and support systems, but these are often not ideal. This research project will result in a measurement of resiliency in […]

Heart disease is the main reason of death worldwide. One way to understand better and detect heart diseases without need for biopsy via surgery is by using medical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cardiac magnetic resonance is a specific kind of MRI which allows great visualization of inner parts of the heart and […]

Phytoene is a colorless carotenoid that absorbs light in UVA(286nm). It has powerful antioxidant and UV blocking effect and is used as a useful cosmetic material that can cope with the urban aging of skin in modern people. The purpose of this study is to construct and optimize phytoene biosynthetic pathway using E. coli. To […]

-Lemon Aspen is an indigenous plant of Uncandy and its extract contains terpenes (FPA and its derivatives) which have high efficacy such as skin whitening, pore contraction, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. -It is necessary to develop production technology based on biological process in order to solve the problem of delays in commercialization because it […]

Nuera has been acquiring customers and data for the past 3 years and is launching an internal initiative to mine the data to find insurance claims trends. The objective of this initiative will consist of analysis and reporting on our data sets to find trends that lead to claims frequency and severity, in an effort […]

In this research, we construct an open evolving network model and study growing conditions of the model. We construct a simple network model that changes the structure and evolves according to time, and we examine the causes of macroscopic phenomena (e.g. earthquake and meteorological phenomenon, brain activity, etc.) through the characteristics of motif dynamics constituting […]
