Currently, microreaction technology was applied to Bunsen reaction, a key step of H2S splitting cycle, to improve process capability by overcoming mass transfer limitations. This was achieved by using low-flow advanced reactor (LF-AFR) made by Corning Inc., the smallest model, in our research lab at University of Saskatchewan. Compared to normal scale reactors, microreactors provide […]

My project investigates the genetic diversity of Aneura mirabilis, a plant that lost the ability to photosynthesize, and instead depends entirely on fungal networks to meet its energy requirements. This is the sole bryophyte lineage that made this major nutritional transition. The mycoheterotrophic lifestyle is at one end of a spectrum of plant-fungal relationships that […]

We propose to investigate the physiological and ecological factors driving the loss of photosynthesis in green algae and their transition to a permanent heterotrophic lifestyle. Autotrophs produce organic molecules (such as carbohydrates) from inorganic compounds (CO2), and photoautotrophs are reliant on sunlight to do this. Photoautotrophs are the primary producers of most ecosystems. Most of […]

Forest fire hazard mitigation is crucial for Canada due to its vast and diverse forests, which are highly prone to wildfires. These fires threaten human lives, property, and wildlife, and can cause serious economic and environmental damage. Effective strategies can reduce the frequency, intensity, and spread of wildfires, protecting communities, preserving valuable timber, and maintaining […]

Le vieillissement de la population impose un vrai défi sociétal afin de maintenir la qualité de la vie, l’autonomie, et la productivité de l’individu âgé tout en minimisant les dépenses de santé. L’un des éléments majeurs de ce défi concerne le vieillissement cérébral lié au développement des maladies neurodégénératives, notamment la maladie d’Alzheimer (MA). Actuellement […]

The project’s goal is to determine a quantum-computer suitable discretization of a target Hamiltonian. We will research how to efficiently perform the interaction and kinetic energy integrals with explicitly correlated orbitals using quantum computers, and how to efficiently use the result of those computations for the encoding of Hamiltonians. Assuming the result of the relevant […]

This project will allow McGill University to be part of a larger-scale project focusing on the genetic expression variance in chickens, headed by the team at Aarhus University. Previous work has been done to categorize general gene expression across numerous tissues types, with the focus now shifting to better understand the drivers behind gene expression […]

Image processing principles and techniques represent a significant advancement in modern technology, offering invaluable contributions to numerous sectors. Despite their efficacy, conventional AI and ML-based image processing algorithms encounter inherent limitations that obstruct their scalability and performance. The main aim of the proposed research project is to develop image processing algorithm based on quantum computing […]

We will investigate a decision procedure for the monitorability of timed-properties of software controlled systems. A property defines a behaviour that a system is expected to exhibit, or in some cases, to not exhibit. In Runtime Verification, a property is monitorable if it is possible to construct a monitor that can detect the system’s conformance […]

Blockchain technology consists of a distributed ledger that operates through a decentralized network of data blocks, sequentially connected and regulated by consensus mechanisms. Initially developed to underpin cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, broader business and technological sectors now recognize blockchains’ potential applicability across various fields, including healthcare, communication, and smart grids. Blockchains currently rely on established cryptographic […]

Magnetic confinement of the extremely hot plasma necessary to achieve controlled nuclear fusion has made tremendous progress in recent years towards the ultimate goal of operating as a commercially viable long-term source of energy that can greatly facilitate the decarbonization of our energy system. As part of this research effort a fusion reactor prototype is […]

This project, led by a faculty member from the University of Waterloo in collaboration with a senior scholar at a top Taiwanese national university, focuses on utilizing Extended Reality (XR) technologies, e.g., virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, to enhance virtual workplace well-being, with a special emphasis on cultural sensitivity. The projects sets out to thoroughly […]
