Breaking Barriers to Social Conscious Business in Edmonton is a research project that aims to help the business community in the Edmonton downtown core and beyond better serve their community through socially-conscious business practices by shedding light on what barriers and facilitators business owners face in adopting socially conscious business practices in their day-to-day operations. […]

TerraNotes Ltd is a geoscience company based in Edmonton, Alberta. TerraNotes has developed or improved 75 proprietary techniques in geophysical applications. With the current advanced techniques in making use of ground-based and airborne surveys, the exploration industry can now routinely produce complex geophysical mappings. Hence it is of importance to develop advanced image processing techniques […]

In this project, our goal is to set up a framework of data collection to support user profiling which could be used to identify influential users in decision-making. The profile will be built based on the information of individual users obtained by collecting user activities in rewarding challenges that encourage employees, customers and partners to […]

SeeO2 energy and the Birss group (UCalgary) have developed world-leading catalysts for RSOFC systems with promising performance for the production of syngas and power from H2O/CO2 feeds. Today, the company is aiming to scale-up this technology and move towards commercialization by building larger cells, up to 5 x 5 cm2 (16 cm2 electrode area). However, […]

Reinforcement learning (RL) provides a unified framework for sequential decision-making problem, where a computer agent interacts with an environment while trying to learn optimal decisions to maximize its long-term reward. This makes RL a suitable choice for many real-world applications, including finance. RL applications in finance have created a lot of in-depth innovation such as […]

TerraNotes Ltd is a geoscience company based in Edmonton, Alberta. TerraNotes has developed or improved 75 proprietary geophysical techniques to extract important information from geophysical datasets. With the current advanced techniques in making use of airborne surveys, the exploration industry can rapidly and effectively obtain magnetic data which cover very large regions and remote areas. […]

IoT devices gather a huge amount of information and, consequently, bring many privacy threats. For example, the huge amount of information collected with IoT devices could be used in individual and behavioral patterns profiling. Thus, new safeguards for privacy and data integrity must be specified. This project aims to resolve data privacy issues using a […]

In-situ recovery methods for oils sands are applied to reservoirs containing bitumen that are too deep for mining. To date there has been only one commercially viable in-situ recovery method, Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), involving high pressure steam injection and bitumen production using horizontal well pairs located near the base of oil sands formations. While […]

Forest companies would like to reduce the number of birds, eggs, and nests that are negatively affected by logging. They are particularly interested in reducing impacts on species at risk. The problem is that we don’t have detailed knowledge of where every bird lives, so it’s difficult to make educated choices about where and how […]

DriveABLE Inc uses a set of simple video tasks to identify the impaired drivers. Video tasks come in the form of simple games and measure cognitive ability. The test results are analysed by AI powered algorithm that predicts the impairment level of the driver. Our project’s main objective is to redesign the AI in such […]

Adults with Autism (ASD) and/or intellectual disabilities (ID) who seek medical and dental treatments often require specialized interventions that are not always accessible in the community. The Centre for Innovation in Autism and Intellectual Disabilities See Things my Way clinic (STMW) developed a specialized Medical/Dental Clinic to address this important gap. Providing care through a […]
