Our research team has worked with the Northern Alberta Cardiac Rehabilitation Program (NACRP) to develop an online, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program (“My Heart Coach”). This program provides exercises and educational activities consistent with current clinical practice guidelines. A potential opportunity for improvement in this program and others is the development of a woman-focused cardiac rehabilitation […]

Quantum processing units are expected to accelerate some tasks within a high-performance computing (HPC) environment along with CPUs, GPUs and other specialized accelerators. Currently, quantum computers are used by a single user at a time, and this user has access to all the qubits of the machine. Sharing the machine between applications that only use […]

Despite the proliferation of mini forests across Canada, and the financial commitment to increase canopy cover in urban areas, there is very little systematic research conducted on the range of benefits and the effectiveness of mini forests. For the MITACS Accelerate we envision involving an undergraduate student as a project intern to support the development […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à explorer et à développer de nouvelles méthodes pour accompagner les startups spécialisées dans les technologies matérielles, appelées “hardtech”, telles que l’Internet des objets (IoT) ou les technologies énergétiques. Contrairement aux startups axées sur le développement de logiciels, les entreprises hardtech font face à des défis uniques, notamment en matière […]

Global navigation satellite systems have significantly improved aeronautical navigation over the past decades, providing a safe and precise means of navigating airspace. Unfortunately, recent years have seen a worrying increase in GPS interference incidents in aviation, which is alarming because GPS is crucial for modern aviation navigation and safety. GPS interference, through jamming and spoofing, […]

This research project aims to solve the problem of fragmented data in the aviation industry by developing a system that integrates and analyzes various data sources. The goal is to create dynamic dashboards that provide real-time insights into safety, compliance, and operational status for different users, such as airlines and ground service providers. The focus […]

The research project will evaluate how the FGF/NIBTF distributes funds to Indigenous communities across Canada. Currently, the allocation is based on several factors, including the number of residential schools in each region. The intern will analyze historical data to see how this factor affects funding and whether changes to the formula would create a fairer […]

We will develop a fiber-optical sensor system that can be applied to monitor pipelines. By recording the response of a fiber-optic transducer to ultrasound that is generated on the wall of a pipeline we can measure the flow velocity of the fluid inside the pipeline. Similar measurements are presently conducted by pipeline operators using piezo-electric […]

The research program investigates the potential of form-fitting connections in terms of structural performance, manufacturing cost, ease of assembly, and embodied carbon to that of connectors currently employed in the industry. The joint topologies considered will be influenced by joinery techniques and geometry from various cultures and an understanding of the factors that led to […]

The industry partner, Xanadu, is developing large-scale quantum computers based on a photonic hardware platform. All large-scale quantum computers will rely on error correction codes in order to carry out useful computations. Due to the possibility for long-range qubit connections in a photonic system, via fibre optics, it may be possible to exploit non-local connections […]
