There is growing pressure from intergovernmental organizations, governments and consumers to reduce the quantity of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. Investments in green technology such as renewable energy sources, battery technology and carbon capture and sequestration can often yield significant reductions in carbon emissions. However, the corresponding economic costs of these projects can […]

In an innovative collaboration, Ubilab at Waterloo University and the eBioMed platform at BMBI have developed a sustainable technological system to support elderly individuals living alone in retirement homes. This project, set to be deployed across six retirement homes in Canada, involves the use of minimal sensors to monitor and analyze the daily activities and […]

The proposed project aims to address the evolving needs of the Ontario Kinesiology Association (OKA) and its members, focusing on understanding the challenges faced by Kinesiologists in their careers and developing initiatives to support their retention and professional growth. Through a design thinking approach, the project will involve data analysis, focus groups, and surveys to […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project aims to improve communication between pilots and air traffic control (ATC) by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and visual aids with traditional voice communication. By using AI to generate real-time visual cues (like text and icons), we hope to reduce misunderstandings and improve situational awareness for pilots. This will help make flying safer and […]

Software systems produce large amount of logs of different types. Event logs and system traces have been the focus of many research for their information content and often machine friendly format; but another type of logs often overlooked are console logs. Parsing console logs presents two main challenges: their formatting is inconsistent and they contains […]

2-dimension (2D) materials have gained academic and industrial attention due to their high surface area-to-volume ratios, strong interatomic bonding, and good mechanical flexibility, making them suitable for a wide range of applications including energy storage, optoelectronics, and healthcare. An important step in realizing their potential is to build heterostructures by stacking 2D materials with thin […]

Rydberg atom-based sensors are a room temperature quantum technology for detecting radio frequency waves. These sensors have advantages such as electromagnetic transparency and ultrabroadband carrier frequency detection capability that are not possible to obtain with conventional antennas. The advantages lead to a host of applications in radio frequency technologies such as communications, particularly 5G and […]

There is very little known about the environmental impacts associated with the nursery sector globally. Therefore, the objective of the project is to quantify the environmental impacts, with a specific focus on global warming potential (herein referred to carbon footprint) associated with the operations of Sheridan Nurseries. We will use life cycle assessment (LCA), used […]

The first phase of the project produced a detailed modeling and documentation of the Sales and Quotation phase of the partner’s business process. Interview results were combined with existing documents, database information, etc., to map and describe the business tasks in the process. The primary deliverable for the first phase was a detailed model of […]

On January 25th 2019, Benoit Charbonneau and a team of volunteers attempted to construct a three-dimensional shadow of the omnitruncated dodecaplex, a four-dimensional geometric shape, built using Zometool pieces. Over the course of 14 hours, volunteers built and supported the prototype structure, which was ultimately disassembled as it could not support its own weight. Building […]
