The business partner is interested in finding ways to further automate small business lending and annual renewals. In recent years, with the improvement in efficient computing and data storage and movement, the use of deposit data in lending has become more prevalent in the industry. Within industry risk managers, it is widely accepted that deposit […]

This research project aims to understand what factors are driving the increased usage of shared micromobility vehicles – e-scooters – in city centres. In particular, this research seeks to understand the notion of fun as it influences how people chose to get around within a city. The findings of this inquiry will help cities understand […]

The Province of Nova Scotia plans to double its population by 2060, resulting in about one million people living in Halifax. To combat climate change and biodiversity loss, Halifax needs to control its urban sprawl and focus growth in already serviced suburban areas. Since the 1960s, sprawling single-family homes which require a car have become […]

The goal of the project is the development of a systematic process to create (1) low volume metallic 3D printed components for wheel chairs and other assistive technology components, (2) production dies to form/bend tubing and sheet metal and (3) production molds to form complex shapes from composites using a mixture of chopped fibers/resin referred […]

This research project addresses needs identified by First Nation communities across BC to develop a framework to gather data regarding the state of salmon habitat in their territories in a way that is community led and driven.

Current spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking systems typically rely on human-monitored or controlled Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems. This project focuses on an autonomous GNC system specifically for spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking applications. Autonomous systems are advantageous as they allow for operation without human intervention, do not rely on intermittent communication […]

Sulvaris’ Carbon Control Technology (CCT™) is a patented, simple, scalable and strongly economical to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) and generate multiple benefits. The newly developed high value carbon-based enhanced efficient fertilizers through the CCT, such as the CCT-ammonium sulphate, is thought to be able to remediate the soil by providing benefits such as increasing crop […]

Shared e-scooters have recently emerged as a new form of micro-mobility. E-scooters offer an arguably environmentally sustainable transportation option that create an opportunity to replace some automobile trips. To date, most research focusing on e-scooters is situated in dense urban contexts, with little to no insights within suburban settings. The proposed project will explore the […]
