This research project is intended to implement and evaluate a machine learning framework utilizing multispectral imagery to optimize protein production efficiency from two Canadian livestock industries, dairy production and beef cattle production. The assessment protocol will include the surveillance of pathophysiological conditions (e.g. bovine respiratory disease, mastitis, estrus detection), animal well-being (e.g. stress susceptibility, lameness, […]

The primary goal of this project is to develop a robust testing strategy that can be utilized by Vireo Advisors Canada to help industries and regulators assess the environmental and health safety of ENMs. To accomplish this goal, I will validate commonly used and recently developed cell-based assays for potential engineered nanomaterial (ENM) interference and […]

The proposed project will focus on discovering novel drug candidates as a targeted therapy for cancer using computational and synthetic approaches. 48Hour Discovery INC (48HD) aims to build a high-value drug discovery platform for internal drug discovery programs and for clients that provide synthetic molecules with drug-like properties to maximize the success of early drug […]

Brain activity can be recorded by an electroencephalogram (EEG). When investigating the data, it is notoriously difficult to extract neural dynamics related directly to e.g., a visual stimulus in an experiment, from the ‘background’ brain activity. A similar problem arises in fluid dynamics, when ordered dynamics, so-called coherent structures, are extracted from measurement data. There, […]

Black Business Ventures Association (BBVA) is a non-profit technology accelerator with a mandate to increase the participation of Black-led technology startups in Canada. In November 2021, BBVA launched the first Black-focused accelerator program in Western Canada. In order to implement its programs and connect with Black communities across the Prairies Region, BBVA plans to establish […]

In most flows around a structure or object, the flow behind the object is characterized by a region of unsteady reverse flow. This unsteady fluid motion in the object wake induces a force upon the object or structure, which can cause flexible structures to vibrate. An ongoing engineering challenge is to understand how the wake […]

The growing demand for mobility worldwide and the mass use of internal combustion engine drive systems poses major challenges for today’s society. Currently, the CO2 content in the atmosphere is continually increasing and concentrations of pollutants in many areas exceed the maximum permissible limits in many urban centers. Additionally, these engine emissions contribute significantly to […]

The proposed research will involve studying the carbon footprint (i.e. the carbon emissions) involved in the preparation of magnesium oxychloride (MOC) cement materials. MOC cement has been proposed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditionally used Portland cement (PC), however many discrepancies arise as there is no work directly comparing their carbon footprints. In […]

The role, reporting directly to Board members will play a key role in marketing the film festival. This will involve input into the creation of an innovative marketing and media strategy, research into other festivals, idea generation and general administrative support. It will be an excellent opportunity to work directly with a small team and […]

Cherry Health plans to implement sales and marketing processes for paying customers in early Q2 2022. The primary goals of this project are three-fold: 1) Product design for the business intelligence platform (self-serve platform for market research surveys and advertising), 2) Sales process design and implementation for Cherry Health’s business intelligence products, 3) Go-to-market strategy […]
