Developing diffusion models for wind downscaling

This research project aims to develop a ready-to-use model for predicting detailed wind patterns at wind farms to help the industry better plan turbine placements and forecast energy output. Wind speed data is usually available at a large, low-detail scale, which makes it hard to predict specific site conditions accurately. Generating high-resolution wind data using […]

Developing a DARTS proteomics method to identify the host-based targets of KSHV lytic replication inhibitors

Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is virus, whose unabated lifecycle results in the formation of cancerous tumorous. Moreover, KSHV infection is particularly prevalent in people living with HIV, and has a disproportionate burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this clear unmet medical need, there are no approved treatments for KSHV. Recent work, conducted in South Africa has […]

Living with Dementia in Public Spaces: Community Based Participatory Research through an intersectional Social Citizenship Lens.

Many more people living with dementia are and will inhabit public built and social environments, and adaptations of existing spaces, programs, services and polices are required to foster equitable inclusion of people with dementia. Yet, how dementia is situated within the scope of municipal mandates and responsibilities to meet community needs is unclear. This research […]

Exploring a century of change through repeat photography on the Alsek River

Historical survey images of mountains, glaciers, vegetation, and river features captured during the 1906 Alaska Border Survey will be repeated on the Alsek River by PhD student Christopher Rhodes. The sites of the original images will be accessed by river rafting during expeditions with Canadian River Expeditions down the Alsek River. The goal is to […]

Energy Disaggregation over Large-Scale Appliances

Energy Disaggregation is to find the energy consumption of individual appliances from only a single measure of household electricity consumption. Accurate energy disaggregation helps identify major energy guzzlers in the house and motivates users to take proper actions for energy saving. To pursue aneasy-to-use and scalable solution to energy disaggregation for contemporary large-scale appliances, we […]

Development of a low-cost underwater robot for inference of localization and environmental mapping

We will continue work on an inexpensive device developed for water column monitoring, using technology in development by Kinsol Research. The overall research project currently being undertaken is to create a device that can autonomously descend through a column of water to pre-set depths, gather measurements from various sensors (e.g. temperature and light level) during […]

Investigating Arctic Ringed Seal (Pusa hispida) Haul-Out Behaviours Through Acoustic and Photo Analysis

This research project focuses on understanding how ringed seals communicate during haul-out events in the Northwest Territories. Ringed seals are vital to Arctic ecosystems but face threats from climate change and increased shipping. By analyzing acoustic and photo data provided by our partner organization, we aim to discover if these seals change their vocalizations when […]
