Image Enhancement for Color Deficient People

I have been recently graduated from the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of University of Ottawa. I did my PhD in Image Color Processing, and I found out the available position with Irystec Company is fit to my knowledge and experience. As a PhD candidate, I had the opportunity to gain extensive experience […]

Accelerate development of new technologies and applications for advanced water treatment

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

Achieving aspirations of Canadian aboriginal communities through participatory cultural mapping and dynamic decision modelling

The aspirations of aboriginal communities are a critical part of decision making regarding land and resource use, policy and community development, and strategic planning. To help achieve aboriginal aspirations, this project aims to develop, apply, and evaluate a novel approach to aid aboriginal community decision making and solution creation/implementation. This approach builds upon current research […]

Achieving aspirations of Canadian aboriginal communities through participatory cultural mapping and dynamic decision modelling – Year two

The Aboriginal housing situation in Canada is in crisis with a lack of culturally and environmentally appropriate housing. To address this need, this Mitacs Elevate project involves a collaboration between the Heiltsuk Nation (in Bella Bella, BC), the University of British Columbia, and FPInnovations. Through this project, a Participatory Approach towards Holistic Solutions (PATHS) framework […]

Multi-biomarker test for the management of acute cardiac transplant rejection

The high incidence of acute organ rejection following heart transplantation poses major problems for patients, clinicians, and the healthcare system. A major clinical challenge in this regard arises from the difficulty of accurately and efficiently diagnosing when organ rejection occurs. In Canada, the current approach to diagnosing acute rejection requires taking small pieces of the […]

Assessment of the Neonatal Lung Using Structural and Functional MRI

Currently available diagnostic imaging tools, such as chest radiography and computed tomography, are inadequate for assessing the lungs of preterm neonates. There is considerable interest in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor lung development in neonates longitudinally, since it is a non-invasive and non-ionizing imaging modality. MRI can potentially detect complications at an early […]

Assessment of the Neonatal Lung Using Structural and Functional MRI – Year two

Currently available medical imaging tools, such as x-rays, are inadequate for assessing the lungs of preterm neonates. There is considerable interest in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor lung development in neonates longitudinally, since it is a non-invasive and non-ionizing imaging modality. MRI can potentially detect complications at an early stage and improve outcomes […]

Use of 3-D Virtual Reality Displays while in Flight: The Effects of Vestibular-Ocular Mismatch on Situation Awareness

High levels of situation awareness during flight operations are integral to mission success. Virtual reality (VR) systems can enhance operator situation awareness via advantageous 3D displays that stream data sources (entities from air, land, and sea) in a manner closely aligned with real world structures. One potential impediment to the implementation of VR devices in […]

Use of 3-D Virtual Reality Displays while in Flight: The Effects of Vestibular-Ocular Mismatch on Situation Awareness – Year Two

This PDF will further our understanding of how augmented reality, an emerging technology, can improve collaborative situation awareness. In particular, this project will investigate the best ways for information to be shared when two or more individuals each use an augmented reality device. For example, in maritime environments there is always the risk of man-overboard […]

Parallel Radiofrequency Transmission Technology for Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 3 Tesla

Funds are requested for one intern to work in the laboratory of Dr. Simon Graham at Sunnybrook Research Institute, Toronto, in partnership with Siemens Healthcare Limited. The intern will work on development of prototype instrumentation that will enable a technique called “parallel radiofrequency transmission (PTX)” to be implemented flexibly for research purposes on a Siemens […]
