This project, led by PINA Creation Inc. in collaboration with Simon Fraser University (SFU), focuses on developing a new zinc oxide (ZnO) nano ink for use in organic solar cells. Traditional ZnO layers require high temperatures and complex fabrication, making them expensive and difficult to scale. By creating a low-cost, solution-based ZnO ink, this project […]

This project will contribute to developing design guidelines for steel-reinforced 3D printed concrete structural members. 3D printing is a novel construction method that is being developed around the world. It has the potential to revolutionize construction practices, because it is an automated process that requires less heavy labor compared to regular construction practices. The material […]

This project seeks to evaluate the benefits of deploying active road signs on road safety and driving behavior. Different types of iluminated and traffic responsive traffic signs will be considered, under urban and rural setting. Two case studies will be analyzed for this purpose. The company expects to identify demonstrate that their products are beneficial […]

Architectures for quantum computing can only scale effectively with suitable benchmarking techniques. Benchmarking is essential for evaluating the performance of quantum computers, including their algorithms and applications. This principle extends to quantum machine learning techniques, where benchmarking basic quantum machine learning methods on full-stack photonic NISQ devices is crucial. A key challenge involves adapting quantum […]

This project investigates how human pressure affects fish communities in the St. Lawrence River tributaries through a collaboration between the Comité Zone d’Intervention Prioritaire du Haut St-Laurent (ZIP) and PhD student Simone Miklosi. Together, ZIP and Simone developed research questions, selected sampling sites, and identified key environmental variables to assess. To support the collaboration a […]

In recent years, machining with robots has become a trend in the manufacturing industry. The concept offers an economical solution for medium to low accuracy machining applications. However, due to the complexity of the robot kinematics, planning for these paths is challenging. Jabez Technologies has developed a semi-graphical approach that can program large robot-paths. This […]

Le projet vise à explorer la viabilité de la conservation de homards en mer. Le projet aurait lieu dans les installations de la Première Nation Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk au quai de Gros-Cacouna dans le territoire ancestral Wolastoqey. Le port de Gros-Cacouna est à la limite de l’habitat du homard. L’environnement, et plus précisément la qualité de […]

The proposed research project investigates how the Telepresence technology (Connected North) has an impact on Northern students’ and teachers’ educational experience. Our goal is to assess the impact of its implementation within three contexts: connecting students to students, connecting students to experts, and connecting teachers to teachers. To this end, we will administer questionnaires to […]

A key challenge is improving user interaction with complex […]

Le projet consiste à développer une méthodologie novatrice, de type heuristique, de construction d’horaires annuels des pilotes de la Corporation des Pilotes du St-Laurent central. L’algorithme de construction d’horaires doit tenir compte de plusieurs contraintes tant au sein de la Corporation des Pilotes du Saint-Laurent central que celles imposées par l’Administration de Pilotage des Laurentides […]

Research at the Lymphoma Lab is driven by the observation that the outcomes of lymphoma are extremely variable with some patients seem cured or enjoying long remissions while others experience relapse. Treatments that directly target the underlying therapeutic vulnerabilities of a patient’s lymphoma remain unavailable [1]. Lymphoma Lab wants to change this. A comprehensive understanding […]

Most Albertan crop farmers have substantial resource-intensive but non-profitable marginal lands and dry zones where, due to reduced water availability, seeded crops don’t thrive. On the other hand, livestock producers demand nutritious, low-cost feed with a stable supply chain. We aim to connect and solve both problems by introducing hardy millet species that can: 1. […]
