Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the parent cells that give rise to all of the different kinds of cells present in blood. Any problems or abnormalities in the different types of blood cells can lead to different type of blood related diseases corresponding to the specific type of cell. Usually, blood cancers also known as […]

This project is part of a larger effort towards the decarbonization of our energy by focussing more on renewable energy (eg. solar, wind). Hydro-Quebec is invested in this effort as it is a major provider of electricity throughout Northeastern America. Many renewable energy sources are highly variable; it is therefore important to be able to […]

SARS-CoV-2 has emphasized the need for antimicrobial defenses in our environment. We need to minimize the risk of microbe transfer between people via touching a common surface. This project, led by the University of Windsor and Ontario coatings companies Tessonics and ONTech Rapid Coatings, combines three different strategies to develop a persistent antiviral coating that […]

This project represents the next innovative leap by the TerraByte research group at UWinnipeg and the Enterprise Machine Intelligence and Learning Initiative (EMILI). The focus main thrust of this work is to generate data that will enable machine learning approaches to digital agricultural applications. The data generated from this project includes multispectral, hyperspectral, and 3D […]

Le présent projet innove en développant et en implantant un système d’évaluation de la fluidité graphique. En faisant appel aux technologies de l’information et à l’intelligence artificielle, le système d’évaluation permettra la saisie, l’analyse et l’interprétation de résultats d’évaluations conduites auprès d’enfants en milieu clinique. Pour ce faire, une version exploitable du Five-Point Test (e-5PT; […]

With the high prevalence of cancer in the Canadian population, the need for rapid, personalized diagnostic tests is as evident as ever. Nuclear imaging allows for the visualization and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer, by detecting the emitted radiation from an administered disease-seeking molecule that has been labeled with a radioactive isotope (radiotracer). Lead-203 (203Pb) […]

Ce projet de recherche repose sur la collaboration entre des chercheurs en psychologie et une entreprise spécialisée dans la création de jeux vidéo. Le but de ce partenariat est de développer un jeu sérieux (application mobile) dont l’objectif est de favoriser le bien-être psychologique et la croissance personnelle des joueurs. Plus précisément, ce jeu vidéo, […]

In this project, the intern will work closely with the staff of Xanadu, a quantum computing company, to develop educational materials intended for an audience who are comfortable with classical computer programming, but have no prior knowledge or experience with quantum physics or quantum computers. By using interactive, web-based instructional materials, and animated graphics, it […]

Traditional time-consuming and error-prone methods of quality control of prefabricated elements can be replaced with state-of-the-art approaches. For example, emerging computer vision and deep learning technologies can be employed in the processes to achieve better performance and quality. To detect defaults and missing welds on prefabricated steel products in real-time, this study enhances the performance, […]

A DT in the manufacturing field will be used to link the physical and digital worlds, resulting in a virtual replica of a product or process that exposes real-time data and allows for the execution of advanced control schemes. The integration of both physical system and data-based approaches for the construction of the DT can […]

More than half of Canadian households have companion animals such as dog or cat. However, cancer has become the leading cause of death in dogs. Currently, available treatments have limitations and compromise the quality of life of dogs. Adored Beast Apothecary wishes to develop unique natural health products to prevent and treat cancers of dogs. […]

Computational optics is the integration of algorithms to enhance optical imaging and exceed its physical limitations. The principles of computational optics can be used in microscopy by implementing programmable illumination to control the application of light onto tissue. MTT Innovation Inc.’s Light Steering Projection technology uses laser illumination, spatial phase modulation, and image processing algorithms […]
