Community Driven: Improving Infrastructure Management and Maintenance by Actively Engaging Citizens

Cities face significant challenges in maintaining infrastructure due to inefficient reporting processes, duplicate submissions, and reactive maintenance approaches that address problems only after they become serious. In 2023, the City of Edmonton developed the REPAIR AI platform to address pothole management, demonstrating the potential of AI-driven solutions for infrastructure maintenance. The Community Driven project will […]

AI-Driven Large Scale Structure Inference from Next-Generation astrophysical datasets in the Multi-messenger Era

This project uses artificial intelligence to better understand the large-scale structure of the Universe. Cosmologists study the Universe using different observational probes, including galaxy surveys and catalogs of gravitational-wave events. Gravitational waves are tiny vibrations of spacetime sourced by powerful events such as two stellar black holes colliding. These objects act as important tracers of […]

L2M – AgrUS (Agricultural UltraSound)

When farmers are selling their cattle for meat, the quality of the meat can make a large difference in profits. Farmers and producers see between 30-45% of the retail price, so ensuring that they sell quality beef makes a difference for their bottom line. So how do they know when their cattle are ready for […]

L2M – Astaxanthin-secreting probiotic

A novel astaxanthin-secreting microorganism has been developed as a part of the intern’s graduate research focus. This technology has applications primarily in the aquaculture and nutraceutical industries. In aquaculture, it can be used to better deliver astaxanthin, an essential nutrient, to salmon and trout compared to current methods. This technology has the potential to reduce […]

Energy Policies and Regulations for Deep Electrification with Distributed Energy Resources

Electricity systems face unprecedented pressure to accommodate extraordinarily rapid growth within a short period. Achieving net-zero emissions requires deep electrification, extending electricity use to activities that currently rely on fossil fuels. This shift could dramatically increase current consumption levels, making it essential to harness the potential of distributed energy resources (DERs) to meet the growing […]
