Graphene is a recently discovered two-dimensional material with remarkable properties that scientists and industry are intensely striving to understand and exploit. It can be used in energy applications (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors for electrical vehicles), as conductive thin films for solar panels, as membranes for water desalination, and in antibacterial and antiviral coatings. ZEN Graphene […]

This project is designed to evaluate/test the viability of commercial live coccidial poultry vaccine. The efforts will be made to enumerate individual species within a mixture of several to many vaccine species. The current research revolves around viability-qPCR that may be able to simultaneously amplify and quantify parasites in a variety of samples and concentrations. […]

There is a strong demand for effective means to detect and record trespass activities onto farm properties, which cost the agriculture industry many hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The goal of the project is to design and develop a trespasser detection system based on the presence of a human being carrying a cell […]

The use of sexual enhancement products alone or with a partner can be part of a healthy, satisfying sex life. Although many men and women report using products (like vibrators) during sexual activities, very little research has examined individuals’ preferences (i.e., type, shape, size, methods of use) for anal sex toys. Obotics Inc. has developed […]

This project involves developing novel gripper mechanisms for Mantech that has faced issues with their robots. The first challenge is the need for having grippers (not pneumatic) that are robust and light. To solve this, we will develop (model, design, fabricate) a novel electromagnetic gripper that is equipped with tactile sensors to ensure perfect grasping. […]

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, accounting for 3% of all cancers diagnosed in adults. Medical Imaging is essential in diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancers. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is now increasingly used in diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancer because of its ability to provide more insights […]

The vision of Own The Podium is for Canada to be a world leader in high performance sport. With this vision comes the required investment into our understanding of how athletes adapt to training and how this understanding can be leveraged to provide our national level athletes a competitive edge on the world stage. This […]

Coastal habitats are critical for the health, livelihoods and social well-being of Canadian communities. In British Columbia, log handling and storage areas create wood waste that falls to the seafloor and does not decompose, degrading important habitats and substantially reducing the number of species can live there. To manage the impacts of habitat degradation, it […]

The proposed project is to develop a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) model capable of using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to automatically analyze whether there is a risk of forest fire due to vegetation management around electric equipment. The model automatically classifies points in a LiDAR scan to determine whether there is direct contact […]

This research project will investigate cost effective methods for agricultural production. Specficially, soil will be classified as high expected yield and high yield variability, high expected yield and low yield variability, low expected yield and high yield variability, and low expected yield and low yield variability using appropriate statistical methods. Different seed and fertilization rates […]

Businesses are collecting more and more data, but they do not have the manpower to properly analyse it. This project will implement a proof of concept for a system that uses machine learning to improve the detection of cyber threats. The machine learning algorithm will receive information from many different data sources, detect where there […]
