This research project is intended to take the first steps forward in breeding hardier, disease resistant Atlantic salmon. Infectious salmon anemia is a disease of Atlantic salmon that has led to millions of dollars of losses within the aquaculture industry yearly on a global scale. Through a combination of genomic data and disease trial data, […]

This project aims at designing a high-efficiency DC-DC converter for TFT touch sensors. The main task of the converter is to step-up the low and variable input voltage to a higher and more stable voltage that is able to power the touch sensor. The most challenging part of the design is the regulation of the […]

This project attempts to develop new solution to two problem types that are known to be intractable optimization problems. These include a scheduling problem, the PSP (Project Scheduling Problem), and a problem found in trading (leg-pricing). These problems are investigated to evaluate the applicability of recently developed quantum annealing processors, which specialize in optimization problems, […]

Beetles, possibly of an undescribed species, frequently inhabit honeybee (Apis cerana) hives in Vietnam. They walk over and around honeybees in their nest with no apparent harm to the bee colony. Surveys of beekeepers and their hives will enable us to determine the distribution and incidence of the beetles. A number of biossays will provide […]

Asia is the most important global market for aquaculture feeds and an increasingly important consumer of Canadian agricultural commodities, know-how and technologies. Given the complexity of the field, feed manufacturers require robust and highly flexible tools that could assist them in the formulation of cost-effective feeds for major aquaculture species across their life cycle. Veridis […]

Sliced mushrooms have occasionally been recalled due to the recovery of Listeria monocytogenes from sampled product. As a consequence there is a need to introduce technologies that can reduce the risk of carriage of Listeria on sliced mushrooms. Due to the sensitive nature of mushrooms there are relatively few options in terms of decontamination technologies. […]

During the last couple decades, agricultural practices have increased in intensity to meet the growing needs of economic growth and population growth in Vietnam. Increased livestock production, management of human and animal waste, hormone and antibiotic residues from humans and livestock present human and environmental health concerns. The risks of agricultural intensification to human health […]

5N2 is a Scarborough, Ontario non-profit that fights food insecurity by rescuing surplus food and turning it into support for local families. Since starting as a small soup kitchen in 2013, it now delivers over 4,500 free meals and pantry support each week with 24 partner organizations (14 direct beneficiaries) across Scarborough and the GTA. […]

The University of Guelph and eSentire are partnering to improve how cybersecurity teams use AI. The project focuses on: – Securing AI-generated code – Identifying and fixing new types of security risks introduced by tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot. – Enhancing Security Operations Centres (SOCs) – Automating repetitive analyst tasks so teams can focus […]

Brewing of premium coffee in single-serve capsule is challenging due to many design and machine constraints. Moreover, parameters that affect the brew quality are not fully understood. By collaborating with Mother Parkers Tea and Coffee Inc., this project will systematically evaluate the brewing parameters on the physical and sensorial properties of drip and espresso coffees. […]

Security Operations Centers today grapple with overwhelming alert volumes, fragmented toolchains, and manual response processes that impede timely threat containment. Analysts must pivot between multiple SIEM and EDR consoles, manually enrich indicators, and open tickets one by one, introducing delays that adversaries exploit to dwell undetected. Moreover, static severity tags lack the nuance to prioritize […]
