Sugars play many important roles in our bodies. For example, they provide a supporting environment around cells and are also involved numerous processes, including viral and bacterial infection. In addition to their natural existence, there is also interest in preparing sugar-based polymers, called “glycopolymers”, in the lab both to better understand biological processes and also […]

The design of usable public health information systems is critical in areas such as healthcare. In this project an analysis of the usability of a pan-Canadian public health information system will be conducted. The approach will involve application of usability engineering methods to identify issues and areas where the system’s user interface could be modified […]

The new Canada’s Food Guide has created controversies about milk and alternatives consumption by removing it as a stand-alone food group. Recent evidence shows an inverse relationship between consumption of dairy products and risk of osteoporosis. However, evidence on the association between milk and dairy consumption and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have provided […]

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is seeing continued industrial uptake, with the aerospace sector representing one of the early adopters and largest growth areas. The design freedom offered by AM is being leveraged to develop advanced heat exchangers with highly complex internal features. This project will focus on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of AlSi10Mg, with emphasis […]

La société moderne présente de nombreux enjeux, mais deux seront attaqués par ce projet : une production alimentaire respectueuse de l’environnement et le réchauffement de la Terre par les gaz à effet de serre. L’utilisation d’engrais biologiques s’avère manifestement préférable aux engrais chimiques. Il est proposé que l’apatite (un minéral de phosphate et de calcium […]

While more than 50% of Canadians are women, less than 14% of practicing engineers are women. Furthermore, while more women are graduating with engineering degrees, they are less likely to remain in the profession than men. The workplace and professional self-regulation are not traditionally tailored to employees who balance work and caregiving responsibilities, which are […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with death of dopamine-producing neurons. This results in structural changes to the striatum, substantial nigra (SNc), and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Motor symptoms of PD are extremely heterogeneous causing a high rate of misdiagnosis of similar disorders (e.g. Essential tremor; ET) as PD. This study aims to […]

The project consists of two independent segments. The first part, to be managed by PhD student Yoonseok Jwa, aims to develop and evaluate new photogrammetric computer vision algorithms for detecting and identifying POAs and insulator types attached to power lines (PL). The expected benefit to the partner can be summarized as: (a) Efficiency- automatic detection […]

AtmanCo est une entreprise œuvrant dans le domaine du développement du potentiel humain. Des tests psychométriques sont conçus afin de mesurer le profil psychologique d’un individu. Ces tests sont utilisés en entreprise dans les contextes d’embauche, de gestion d’équipes et de développement des compétences. L’équipe de développement de Solutions TLM, en collaboration avec AtmanCo, travaille […]

In this partnership, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre aim to work collectively to create a novel type of “whole-cell” flours from Canadian pulses, such as pea, chickpea, and faba bean. In comparison with conventional pulse flours obtained from dry milling/grinding, the new pulse flours are anticipated to […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two Master’s students to advance and apply methods for modelling climate policies in transport, a field in which START in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research teams in the country and in which Navius […]
