Develop an AI-powered and reagent-free optical sensor to continuously monitor nitrogen in agricultural watersheds

The project will develop and validate a reagent-free UV-Vis absorption-based sensor for the direct, real-time quantification of nitrogen in agricultural watersheds. AUG’s machine learning-based multiple regression models will also be developed to process the real-time UV-Vis absorption spectral data and enhance sensor performance suitable for continuous field operation. This project will lead to an innovative […]

Design of instrumentation for a prototype accelerator driven neutron source

Neutron beams are versatile and irreplaceable 21st century research tools. Following the closure of the National Universal Research (NRU) reaction in 2018, Canadian researchers and industry lost key neutron beam capabilities for industrial Research and Development and fundamental research alike. The proposed project is a effort to rebuild neutron beam capabilities in Canada. The design […]

Softabs-designing sugar-free viscoelastic drug delivery capsules for hydrophobic cannabinoid, nutraceutical, and pharmacological delivery across mucosal membranes

Cannabinoids, especially cannabidiol show promise as medicinal agents and are often now proscribed for a variety of indications. One of the major challenges is the lack of a standard dose, and safe ways to ingest. Smoking dried plant material causes harmful particles to enter the lungs, while homemade “edibles” can both vary in their potency […]
