This project seeks to evaluate how contamination can influence the growth of a bacterial community. These experiments will be performed using small scale bioreactors in a lab setting, where 1 contamination source can be evaluated at a time. The results of these experiments will be evaluated by using 16s Amplicon sequencing to determine which bacterial […]

Woodland caribou in the West Chilcotin are Threatened and face population decline due to habitat loss and increased predation. In winter, caribou in this area are dependant on lichen foraging underneath the snowpack, with mature lodgepole pine forests providing suitable lichen availability and predator avoidance. For the Rainbows Mountains and Itcha-Ilgachuz caribou herds, pine beetle […]

Le présent projet répond à la nécessité de développer des outils visant l’autonomisation et l’amélioration de la santé générale des jeunes atteints de pathologies chroniques. À cet effet, la plateforme Inpowr est un espace web qui permet de jauger son bien-être personnel par l’entremise de questions générales, de se fixer des buts précis, des comportements […]

Comment aider les municipalités à mettre en place des politiques culturelles locales plus ancrées dans les préoccupations et les besoins de leurs habitants ? C’est à quoi cette recherche postdoctorale vise à répondre. Au carrefour de l’innovation communautaire, de l’aménagement urbain et culturel et des politiques publiques, l’objectif est d’expérimenter et documenter des modèles et […]

The overall goal is to create the backend of a mobile personal organizer that suggests professional events (conferences, colloquia, workshops, exhibitions) and contacts to establish while attending events, to members. Currently, the target audience are professionals in the biomedical domain. Given the need to feed data and meta-data from heterogeneous sources into the application, the […]

The two major objectives of the umbrella grant are to 1) empower the partner organization to improve their digital capacity and gain insight into their data to support business growth and innovation. 2) Provide students with work-integrated learning experiences that expose the students to advanced data analytical techniques, data mining and machine learning. DICE focuses […]

For human space exploration to be successful, technologies to produce breathable air, drinking water, and fuel are needed to sustain life. Particularly on the Moon, there are a variety of minerals and ore in different regions on the Moon’s surface that can be extracted and chemically processed to produce air, water, and fuel. The objective […]

The wider adoption of fuel cells has been hindered by durability and reliability issues. This research alliance (consisting of Ballard and SFU) has made significant recent advances on developing novel diagnostics techniques to detect the inception of hydrogen leak faults in fuel cells. We aim to continue to build on these advances through this grant. […]

The Rural Development Institute (RDI) and Eco-West Canada are studying 135 Manitoba municipalities, focusing on accessing the state of their climate mitigation and adaptation/resiliency plans. This initiative aims to evaluate existing climate action strategies, identify gaps, and align them with funding criteria under the Mobilizing Municipalities program. Through research and collaboration, the project aims to […]
