Working in partnership, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) and the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) propose the development of a novel, hybrid digital platform that brings together the progressive community development initiatives of KZA with CIMS’ established research record in the field of building information modelling (BIM). The research challenges involved in the development of a […]

The emerging edge computing (EC) paradigm promises to deliver superior user experience and enable a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications by bringing storage and computing facilities closer to the end users. Virtualization technologies such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) will allow sellers and buyers to access the open […]

Les granulocytes sont une première ligne de défense très efficace contre les infections. Lorsqu’ils sont en nombre insuffisant ou qu’ils se dérèglent, de graves infections peuvent survenir. La transfusion de granulocytes est alors toute indiquée pour les patients aux prises avec une infection sévère résistante aux traitements habituels. Toutefois, nous ne savons pas si ces […]

Large size high strength steels parts used in transport and energy applications undergo several heating and cooling cycles during their manufacturing process (casting, forging, quench, tempering). Generally, before forging the parts are heated in gas-fired forging furnaces and the impact of non-uniform heating on the subsequent steps is of critical importance. A non-uniform temperature distribution […]

Salt marshes provide many services including nursery habitat for birds and fish, nutrient export to sun’ounding coastal areas, and sheltering coasts from sea level rise and storm activity. In Atlantic Canada, there is strong interest in salt marsh restoration. A study was instigated by Ducks Unlimited Canada in 20 lOin the Bay of Fundy to […]

Most of the medicines available today are either purified from plants or derived from compounds produced by plants. The Cannabis (marijuana) plant in particular produces an enormous variety of molecules that have valuable pharmaceutical potential – in addition to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the primary psychoactive molecule in the pant, the cannabis plant produces dozens […]

This project is aiming at the design and analysis of high-performance fast charging system (FCS) to decrease charging time and reduce the high demand effect in the power grid. Besides, the target fast charging system will support transportation electrification infrastructures, maximize customer satisfaction, reduced operational costs and CO2 emissions. The analysis of the FCS system […]

The goal of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness of video as medium of delivery and consumption of large quantities of digital information. The team will create an automated way to generate videos for properties and rental information so as to reduce costs on manual video creation and build user profiles based on smart […]

The objective of this project is to research new technologies and methods to help in the assessment and functional imaging of neuroplasticity related to music therapy. The approach utilizes key novel technologies being researched in partnership with Dr. Ryan D’Arcy. It takes advantage of on-going, integrated work with Music Heals to research music therapy as […]

High resolution 3D microscopy in combination with tissue clearing techniques such as CLARITY, iDISCO, CUBIC is a rapidly growing area of biomedical research. It also has high potential to replace traditional 2D histology to become a method of choice for the analysis of tissue biopsy samples used in diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. However, […]

This research aims to develop advanced but practical methodologies for automatic calibration of computationally intensive groundwater simulation models. Such models are largely used in many consulting engineering companies, but they may not be completely calibrated because of the time limits and their very large computational demands. The methodologies developed during this internship increase the computational […]

This project seeks to demonstrate the impact of health and life sciences research in the Province of British Columbia. Researchers from Simon Fraser University and University of British Columbia – Okanagan are working closed with the Genome BC and Michael Smith’s Foundation to develop new methodology to assess the value of health and life sciences […]
