A 3-Prong Research Approach to Psychedelic-assisted Therapy Education and Service Delivery within a Community of Practice Framework

The project includes a three-prong approach, consisting of research and education surrounding psychedelic-assisted therapy within a community of practice framework. Interns will each take a leadership role in separate, but intertwining areas. Key roles include program development, evaluation, and actively engaging in decolonizing practices and policies to ensure activities are inclusive and equity informed. The […]

Combined cyberattack detection and mitigation studies on load frequency control

The extended application of communication networks in modern power systems has made power systems vulnerable to cyberattacks. These attacks target the operation of the power system and may bring about major problems, such as blackouts and tampering with smart meter readings. In this project, a comprehensive control scheme will be proposed to detect and mitigate […]

Soil moisture estimation using satellite imageries for Canadian croplands

Agricultural water management, being a critical area in accordance with the freshwater consumption rate, should be regulated with the help of emerging cutting-edge research. Recent research proves that precision technologies significantly reduce the agricultural input cost for the farmers thereby increasing their net revenue at the end of harvest. Technologies such as AI, remote sensing, […]

Validation du potentiel de la télédétection comme outil de suivi du carbone organique des sols agricoles à l’échelle de l’entreprise

Le projet proposé vise à développer un outil simple et efficace pour le suivi des stocks de carbone du sol à l’échelle du champ grâce à de capteurs hyperspectraux (imageurs ou non) positionnés sur de la machinerie agricole. Cette technologie permettrait d’obtenir des données (images ou nuages de points) du sol malgré la canopée de […]

Modelling Investigation of Arsenic Contamination in Drinking Water

This project supports comprehensive investigation of arsenic contamination in the aquatic ecosystems in Canada. The project aims to provide a framework/guideline to predict probability arsenic contamination in different area. This will be through appling AI and ML modelling approaches by considering geo-environment and hydrochemical predictor variables. The MITACS support will be used to hire a […]

Strategic thinking and emergent approaches for Indigenous-led wildlife management

In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada declared 1700 km2 as Aboriginal Title Land to the Tsilhqot’in Nation. The Title Lands are set within the Caretaker Area of Xeni Gwet’in First Nation (XGFN)- one of six Tsilhqot’in communities. The Tsilhqot’in decision has created a range of immediate management and planning needs, and new opportunities for […]

Comparison of Pilot Scale and Industrial Trial Results for Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) Development.

Developing new high performance steels using pilot scale facilities such as those available at CanmetMATERIALS laboratory in Hamilton is more efficient and cost effective than using industrial lines. However, some recent projects carried out for Stelco Inc revealed unexpected discrepancies between pilot scale results and real industrial data. The aim of this project is to […]

BETSY – Bovine Expert Tracking and Surveillance

OneCup uses Computer Vision to uniquely identify livestock and wildlife from almost any angle, effectively Face ID for animals, called 360 Live ID. We then track health, growth, activity, nutrition, and phenotypes with the ID. It is a revolutionary idea that will disrupt the agricultural industry. We call our AI for cattle BETSY, or Bovine […]

A framework for assessing qualitative and quantitative risks of installing and operating water supply services in small, remote Indigenous communities

Water infrastructure and supply service in Canadian small, remote Indigenous (SRI) communities are facing various challenges, including long-term water quality advisories. A water infrastructure risk assessment system is much needed to help identify critical nodes that are prone to cause failure in the entire water supply service chain, ranging from pre-project planning to water service […]
