High-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) is recognized as one of the essential tools for remote sensing of the ocean surface. HFSWR received data contains valuable information that can be used for ocean wave forecasting, and since it provides real-time data, it can be applied for search and rescue operations, oil and pollution spills, and tsunami […]

Route planning plays an integral part of each voyage in maritime operations. The selected route must be optimized in terms of economic factors and safety concerns. It also has to adhere to national and international regulations. Recently, the International Maritime Organization introduced a new regulatory instrument to promote the decarbonization of the shipping industry. The […]

This project aims to use and experiment deep learning technique on modern recommender systems such as Graph Convolutional Network. The purpose of this implementation will be to drastically improve recommendation structure’s benchmark. This will allow extract user’s embedding by mapping from pre-existing features that describe the user such as ID and relevant attributes. In this […]

High-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) is recognized as one of the essential tools for remote sensing of the ocean surface because it provides wide-area, all-weather, and near-real-time surveillance. It operates between 3 to 30 MHz and can detect a large area of thousands of square kilometers. Wind speed, wind direction, surface current, and significant wave […]

The field of plastic waste management is essential for a sustainable society that utilizes plastic waste for energy production and environmental safety. Plastic waste’s land filing and incineration have large environmental impacts due to greenhouse gas emissions. The mentioned challenges could be eliminated using a more reliable and controllable thermal source such as an inductively […]

This project will focus on developing a system to find the precise location of a landing pad as seen from a drone / helicopter. The proposed system uses radio frequency ranging between the devices onboard and devices deployed at the landing pad. Together with accelerometer and compass data, the system can figure out the position […]

With losses of soil carbon constraining our ability to ensure regional food security, there is increased focus on using regenerative agricultural management to improve soil health and the sustainability of our agri-food system. Numerous knowledge gaps exist around how we can reliably increase soil carbon, and how regenerative principles may be applied to field conditions […]

The Sign Language Institute Canada (SLIC) is a community-based organization that aims to increase training and certification opportunities for teachers of American Sign Language (ASL) and la langue des signes Québécoise (LSQ) across Canada. SLIC has plans to implement a community-based sign language program, intended to provide deaf adults with pathways to employment, as sign […]

The ocean is receiving much of the plastic waste generated on land and it is calculated that yearly up to 12.7 million tons of them enters in our oceans bringing a drastic environmental problem. This project seeks to create an autonomous boat made with recycled plastics, to clean up plastic waste in the oceans. The […]

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is an important natural source of cannabinoids for consumer products. Mainly grown outdoors, unintended cross-pollination can result in a significant loss of cannabinoid yield via seeding. To overcome this risk, the team intends to develop seedless, triploid varieties of hemp with high minor cannabinoid content, notably cannabigerol (CBG) O cannabichromene (CBC). […]

Like many of the world’s largest mining companies, Newmont is voluntarily targeting net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Recent research on technical feasibility of mining operation decarbonization has shown that mining companies may be able to achieve up to 70% carbon emissions reductions through internal initiatives, but may require options to capture and store carbon (either […]
