This project, in partnership with ATB Financial, will focus on the application and development of machine learning techniques in banking. We will delve into early prediction of customer events, such as encountering financial difficulties, that could indicate other issues and present opportune moments for ATB Financial to help customers get back on track. We will […]

Bipolar membranes (BPMs) are already a commercially relevant technology as they are used in the electrodialysis process, that is, they are used to convert salt water into industrially useful acid and base products. Recent research, on the laboratory scale, has demonstrated that bipolar membranes also have useful applications in water splitting technologies that produce hydrogen […]

Vibrant coral reefs are amongst the world’s most diverse and economically important marine ecosystems, but are also imminently threatened by climate change and local threats, including fishing and pollution. Understanding how these threats impact coral reefs, and the capacity for reefs to recover after bleaching events is critically important. This project will focus on Kiritimati […]

The main objective of this project is to investigate, develop and evaluate state-of-the-art color image/video analysis and machine-learning algorithms, which are suitable for accurate modeling and recognition from large-scale image datasets that are weakly labeled. In particular, we will focus on investigating and developing interactive (partially-supervised) algorithms for annotating massive sets of color images, while […]

When you load a page on the internet, or watch a video, or send an email, packets of information travel along a path from your computer to the destination. Where does this path go? If both you and your destination are located in the same country, does the path respect international boundaries? We propose a […]

Natural clay minerals have a long history of medicinal applications. Recent studies have described their antibacterial properties and have suggested that specific physical and geochemical characteristics of clay are involved in this effect. Kisameet clay (KC), a natural deposit found in British Columbia has been used for healing purposes for generations, still little more than […]

Electrospinning technique will be used as a new mixing method to disperse nanofillers into the epoxy base polymer in this project . The single-needle electrospinning scheme has been successfully used in the preparation of nanofilled silicone rubber composites. However,its low volume product has limited the industrial applications,so another electrospinning scheme will be investigated to scale […]

In Canada, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths for both sexes. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes ~85% of lung cancer cases. Mutations in the KRAS and EGFR genes are two most common oncogenic drivers for NSCLC and responsible for ~30% and ~15% of NSCLCs, respectively. Unlike the EGFR-mutant type, KRAS-mutant NSCLC is […]

L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer l’impact du fonctionnement d’un prototype du système d’automatisation MOBILE dans un environnement représentatif à l’aide d’un modèle de simulation à évènements discrets. Ce système a pour objectif de permettre : i) une automatisation des chargements et des déchargements des laveurs; ii) une sélection automatique des laveurs et de leurs […]

The objective is to develop the best practices for the determination of manoeuvring coefficients by solving RANS equations. The commercial CFD package, Star-CCM+, will be employed. Results will be used to develop mathematical manoeuvring models. Studies will be carried out for three ships with and without appendages. Various scales will be used to investigate the […]

The current project is a partnership between the University of Western Ontario and the London-Middlesex Canadian Mental Health Association, and will aim to increase the equitability of access to mental health services by investigating the barriers that prevent certain populations from such access. To do this, two key areas of service delivery, crisis services and […]
