The University of Lethbridge and the Alberta Beekeepers Commission are working together to improve the health of Alberta’s honey bees. Beekeepers in Alberta face high levels of colony winter loss, and they have also had difficulty accessing quality imported queens. ‘Poor queens’ are one of the most common reasons for winter loss cited by beekeepers. […]

The business partner is interested in finding ways to further automate small business lending and annual renewals. In recent years, with the improvement in efficient computing and data storage and movement, the use of deposit data in lending has become more prevalent in the industry. Within industry risk managers, it is widely accepted that deposit […]

Recent advances in 3D camera technology and associated software is enabling clinical assessments of function to be undertaken in real world clinical settings, rather than in specialized bio-mechanics laboratories. Working in collaboration with Kinetisense Inc, an SME from Medicine Hat Alberta, a patented markerless motion capture technology has been developed to support a wide range […]

This project will have the Marketing and Communications intern using their existing, and new skills to develop marketing content and campaigns, as well as communication connections between our partners. This internship will be vital to getting our name into the Charitable market, and provide valuable insight into our growth strategy for 2022.

FluidPlanet.org is a non-profit organization that builds and runs gaming-based interactive digital twins (virtual versions of real places) with other non-profit organizations (e.g., universities, communities, etc.) to support the understanding and study of public environments. In this project, FluidPlanet.org will work with the University of Lethbridge and the University of Calgary to develop digital twins […]

Customers usually get confused buying an item online. Therefore, they consult with their friends, use their past experience, and survey reviews from other customers. Some of the main findings from a survey conducted by eMarketer, in which each participant could choose multiple answers are as follows: a friend’s recommendation (76%), previous experiences you had with […]

Seismic lines – linear exploration corridors constructed for petroleum exploration – bisect the forests of northern Alberta and influence a host of ecosystem processes. There are an estimated 1.8 million kilometers of seismic lines in Alberta alone. Unfortunately, many of these lines are in a state of arrested succession and are unlikely to recover without […]

Large-scale graphene production has received significant attention because of its interesting properties and a wide range of potential applications. Conventional approaches provide scalable pathways for large scale production, however, these methods face several challenges such as usage of corrosive, toxic solution, long duration, and poor quality of graphene produced which severely affects its potential applications. […]

Children diagnosed with cancer undergo complex and intensive chemotherapy treatments that often require repeated hospital visits and admissions. Advancement in technology has now made chemotherapy and other cancer care possible to be administered at home. However, there are currently no formal evaluation comparing these two modes of delivery. Therefore, the proposed study will compare psychosocial […]

Breast cancer (BC) diagnosis and treatment generate a significant and increasing portion of healthcare cost in Canada. Detection of a potential BC by mammogram screening triggers a confirmatory biopsy. When a BC is confirmed, additional tests are performed on the biopsy material to guide therapy. Since 2015 a new expansive (~ 5000.00 CAD per patient) […]

The project will develop a highly efficient technology for producing plasma-activated water (PAW) with low energy consumption. Expected outcomes of the project will enable high throughput production of PAW to meet the urgent need for green and sustainable technology in agriculture and food. PAW generated in large quantities will be at low cost without using […]

The project investigates how to design and implement high quality user experiences for extended reality (XR) applications that are deployed over 5G networks. Interns will elicit high level quality of experience requirements for such applications, determine appropriate metrics to reach these goals and micro-service based software architectures to build such applications. We are in particular […]
