Many YouTube content owners currently make money from their videos by allowing YouTube to display ads next to them. For these content owners, increasing the popularity of the video leads to more revenue, and therefore it is of great importance. The purpose of this project is to design an algorithm to predict the popularity of […]

Transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients whose kidneys have failed. There is an ever-growing gap between patients in need for a transplant and available donors. In response to this need, there has been an increase transplantation of donors who experienced circulatory determined death (DCD). However, many potential DCD donors fail to end up in […]

ImmunoBiochem is developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics to address unmet need in intractable solid tumors. Because solid tumors are highly heterogeneous and evasive, recognizing cancerous cells, while avoiding damage to normal tissue, is a challenge. As a result, many targeted therapies quickly come up against resistance, resulting in patient relapses. ImmunoBiochem is solving the issue of […]

The A220 aircraft, former CSeries, is the first commercial aircraft certified by Bombardier with fully augmented Fly-by-Wire Control Laws. The longitudinal controller gains are usually scheduled across the flight envelope according to relevant aerodynamic variables. Their tuning can be a lengthy and, sometimes, sub-optimal process. Hence, it is key for Airbus Canada to continue developing […]

Mandatory reporting limits established by Health Canada for pesticide testing in cannabis are typically lower than those published in various U.S. states. Because dried cannabis leaves and flowers generate many co-extractives that can negatively impact testing results, a simple and cost-effective sample preparation and analytical method needs to be developed to meet the demanding testing […]

The project aims at developing prototype of a new ultrasonic based device to monitor and maintain oil-water interface position and oil layer height. Need for such a device has been identified for applications in oil-water separators commonly used in a number of processes. The ability to monitor interface position as well as liquid-layer thickness is […]

The project will focus on setting out the enabling conditions for nature-based climate solutions. Within this objective, the team will develop a portfolio of opportunities for — and a discussion of the implications of — (i) new policy tools and modifications to existing laws and regulations and (ii) market-based approaches, all to enable and accelerate […]

This program will cement Canada’s leadership in global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), a key technology in radio astronomy and geodesy. In partnership with Thoth Technology Inc., our team of leading radio astronomers will (i) develop new capabilities to compress, transport, and process large amounts of data between geographically distinct locations to enable real-time VLBI, […]

This project aims at creating a model for forecasting ice formation in the St. Lawrence Seaway between the Welland Canal and Quebec City. This will improve drastically the planning of all maritime operations during the winter transition period, before the freeze-up.

In this project, machine learning and optimization will be applied to a 20 GB dataset on raw fish quality and process control parameters collected by the Tally software over a three-year period in a large industrial tuna cannery processor. The goal of the research is to design predictive machine learning and optimization algorithms maximizing the […]

This project aims to investigate the establishment of a hydrogen hub in the Pickering and Oshawa region to reduce emissions from fossil fuels. Transportation sector is one of the major air pollution sources in Canada. Produced hydrogen will be used in vehicles operated with fuel cell that will be produced by GM and Hyundai. Fuel […]

CERT has developed a technology to convert carbon dioxide into chemicals using water and renewable electricity in a system called a CO2 electrolyzer. They are scaling up this technology as part of the Carbon XPRIZE competition, a global race to find new technologies to make valuable products from CO2. CERT will take the CO2 from […]
