Automotive Modular Real-time Edge Computing on Embedded Hardware

As vehicle systems become more advanced, accurate information about vehicle states, parameters, and surrounding operating conditions becomes paramount for vehicle health monitoring and driver control systems. This information is vital for the production, cost, and efficiency of the vehicles, as well as a key to improving passenger safety. In commercial vehicles, not all parameters of […]

New aptamer/SERS biosensors for antibiotics in water

The abuse of antibiotics has caused many drug-resistance problems due to the development of resistance in bacteria. Monitoring the concentration of antibiotics in water is important for managing the problem of drug-resistant bacteria. While analytical instrumentation based methods such as mass spectrometry are available, they are expensive with a long turnaround time. This project aims […]

Monitoring of Multiclass Organic Pollutants in Waters by Use of Thin-Film Microextraction (TFME) Coupled with Comprehensive Two-dimensional Gas Chromatography Time-of-flight Mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS)

Organic compounds in water can be potentially hazardous. We will develop a green and solvent-free method for screening the organic pollutants in different water samples. Also, we will study the changes in water during the different treatment process. This research will benefit the community and provide a protection protocol.

Deep Decarbonization in Cities: GHG Emissions Measurement, Monitoring, and Reporting

As the urgency for action against climate change increases, local governments around the world are committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through deep decarbonization targets. Cities are the largest place-based sources of GHG emissions and therefore have great potential to reduce emissions on a global scale. To reach net-zero by 2050, transformative change is not […]

Data Analysis of Processing Infrasound Emissions from Maritime Vessels

Infrasonic signatures are long wave acoustic signals in the under 20 Hz range (below human hearing). The partner organization has been experimenting with infrasonic sensor systems to achieve 2 key outcomes: a) detection clear air turbulence to benefit commercial air travel and b) detection of marine vessels. The ability to detect clear air turbulence from […]

Implementation of collaborative regional sustainable development strategies: An international study on structure and outcomes

Global and local policy makers require realistic information about options to achieve sustainable development. To this end, this research project aims to improve understanding of the institutional dynamics related to implementing community sustainability strategies and the resulting plan outcomes. Plan outcomes are the concrete sustainability improvements, linked to the goals in the community sustainability strategies […]

Mobilizing Adoption of Sustainable Solutions: Accelerating the Pace of Systemic Change through Transdisciplinary Collaboration

Humanity is dependent on a sustainable future yet fails to mobilize adoption of sustainability initiatives. If current trends continue, we may not meet the 2030 UN Sustainable Develop Goals until 2082– more than half a century late. Humanity’s insufficient response to the global lack of sustainability is a grand challenge driven by a moral imperative […]

Implementation and feasibility of using physiological monitoring approaches to preventing the development of occupational heat-stress in a nuclear power plant

This project will investigate the usability and feasibility of implementing physiological monitoring approaches to Bruce Power heat-stress management program. The project will involve personnel working in hot environments at Bruce Power conducting work as per normal in addition to peer monitoring using perceptual measures (ratings of perceived exertion and thermal sensation), and wearing a physiological […]

A Microfluidic Biosensor for Monitoring Post-Operative Drainage Fluid

Anastomotic Leakage is a common complication that can occur shortly after surgery and lead to increased mortality rates if it is detected too late. The current method of detection relies on monitoring clinical symptoms and visual inspection of the surgical drain fluid, but this process is often delayed and reactive. NERv Technology Inc. is dedicated […]
