The day to day will be conducting research into (1) What the existing carbon offset methodologies are and how they are composed,( 2) how solar specifically reduces coal/natural gas, (3) How to prove solar production by location, (4) how to calculate grid CO2 intensity from different grid inputs, i.e. 50% coal, 25% natural gas, 20% […]

Our research focus is to understand the function of the PI3K family of enzymes, and the intracellular signals they produce, in immune system defenses and regulatory functions. Our specific aim is to understand how the dynamics of immune responses generated by B cells are controlled by these signaling enzymes to produce protective or ineffective immune […]

Implementation of alternative fuel technologies for public transportation modes stems from increasing environmental concerns, technological improvements, and increasing demand for autonomous transportation, which is well exhibited by recent trends to replace diesel buses with battery electric buses (e-bus). Yet, scheduling and operational planning of electric vehicle (EV)-based transit modes is challenging due to additional considerations […]

In the proposed collaborative research, the focus will be on the application of fractal complexity analysis in anomaly detection. Many features are hidden deep within time series information such as network traffic, and complexity analysis will facilitate the extraction of such features. Complexity analysis takes advantage of the self-similar structure which is found widely in […]

MicroPilot, a company located in Manitoba, is specialized in design and manufacturing of autopilot systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The company’s interest is to develop accurate simulation models of various UAVs, upon which the autopilot systems are tuned and verified first. The goal of this project is to evaluate and improve the model structure […]

During the current Covid-19 pandemic, more than ever, our seniors and those with dementia are isolated and at risk of a faster cognitive and mental health decline. This research offers a novel approach through an augmented virtual interactive social environment for cognitive training to prevent dementia and cognitive impairment. Built upon our successful previous research, […]

Environmental scientists examining large-scale ecosystem processes (e.g., climate change, contaminant effects) are increasingly charged with collecting high-quality data on a more rapid timeline and extending the application of that data spatially and temporally. IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) is a field research station comprised of 58 pristine lakes and their watersheds. This area has been […]

In the current era of big data, huge volumes of a wide variety of data are generated and collected at a rapid rate. Embedded in these big data is implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful knowledge and information. This calls for data science—which use techniques like data mining, machine learning, etc.—for social good. With popularity […]

The objective of this project is to establish a long-term study on the ecology of grassland songbirds in the Waterton Park Front Area (just outside of Waterton National Park), Alberta. The student will examine how different grazing regimes and other management actions influence birds. Fieldwork, which will occur from approximately May to July each year, […]

The City of Winnipeg is concerned to support the workplace experiences of employees from equity-seeking groups. This research will survey employees and convene focus groups to facilitate employees to reflect on and discuss how diverse backgrounds and experiences can be recognized and promoted as assets within the City workforce. Employees will be engaged in exercises […]
