Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light, air movement, CO2 and nutrient levels) are carefully monitored in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) to optimize indoor crop production. Irrigation management is prioritized to ensure nutrient availability to plants, water use efficiency, prevent plant nutrient diseases, maximize crop yield and boost desired phytochemical profiles for a given crop. Automated irrigation […]

This research investigates the fusion of multi-source geospatial data to overcome key scaling limitations in automated property assessment. The primary research problem addresses object occlusion in satellite imagery, where features can obscure ground-level surfaces and prevent accurate area measurement. We propose and evaluate a novel machine learning approach that geometrically fuses satellite imagery with ground-level […]

Many athletes and patients use blood-flow-restriction (BFR) cuffs to make light-weight exercise feel like heavy training, but no one is sure why this type of exercise causes improvements similar to traditional exercise. Is it because the cuff blocks oxygen from entering the muscle, or because it traps byproducts (metabolites) that signal the muscle to grow? […]

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 298 times that of CO2, significantly contributing to climate change through agricultural activities, particularly the application of fertilizers. Accurate and scalable prediction of N2O emissions is essential for sustainable agriculture and climate mitigation. Current methods, such as LSTM-DLM neural networks proposed in […]

Le Port de Sept-Îles, premier port minéralier en Amérique du Nord, célèbre 25 ans d’indépendance. Depuis 1999, il mise sur l’innovation, le développement durable et des partenariats solides pour soutenir la communauté. Avec une capacité annuelle de 100 millions de tonnes, il joue un rôle central dans le développement régional et international. Dans ce contexte, […]

Prosthetic knees are essential for transfemoral amputees, enabling more natural movement, reduced energy use, and increased independence. Active prosthetic knees (APKs), which use motor-powered actuation to mimic muscle function, further improve gait efficiency, balance, and weight distribution—benefits especially crucial for children. However, current APKs are designed for adults and are too heavy and bulky for […]

The proposed research project aims to improve IVF (in vitro fertilization) by making it safer, more accurate, and less stressful for patients. It achieves this by developing a new, non-invasive method to determine whether early-stage embryos have the correct number of chromosomes. Instead of the current method, which involves taking a small sample from the […]

This project aims to explore the uptake of metals in leachate water by Tallwheatgrass phytoextraction. Leachate water is costly to treat and often requires off-site transportation. In addition to being cost intensive, this is also a high energy consuming process. By utilizing phytoremediation, we can provide a sustainable, affordable, and environmentally friendly alternative to shipping […]

This project addresses the growing challenge of vacant and derelict properties in Winnipeg’s Spence Neighbourhood by exploring practical strategies to convert them into affordable and sustainable housing. The research will examine the main barriers to housing redevelopment, including high construction costs, complex zoning regulations, limited financing, and low incentives for property owners to invest in […]

Ce projet vise à évaluer la performance de l’ADN environnemental comme technique de détection des sites de fraie de l’éperlan arc-en-ciel et de gaspareau dans les rivières côtières du Nouveau-Brunswick à partir d’un large échantillonnage réalisé par notre partenaire (Vision H2O) dans les dernières années. Ces informations représentant une information critique dans la gestion de […]

To date, using only electrophysiological data, Epiloid has achieved a classification accuracy in the low-90% in classifying drugs on their predicted ability to modulate hyperexcitability (as seen in epilepsy). This project seeks to enhance this accuracy by incorporating multi-omic datasets into Epiloid’s machine learning pipeline, which stands to dramatically assist in collecting a holistic picture […]
