Building on the success of Phase 1 of our research on Neurodiversity in the Workplace, which engaged HR professionals and neurodivergent individuals and produced a practical toolkit that generated strong interest and positive feedback, we are now entering Phase 2. This stage will focus on the real-world implementation of the toolkit, capturing case studies and […]

This project aims to develop an AI-driven pipeline for nuclear segmentation and classification in immunohistochemistry (IHC)-stained cancer slides, integrated into the open-source digital pathology platform QuPath. In collaboration with Alberta Health Services (AHS) and the University of Alberta, the project addresses a pressing need for scalable and interpretable tools to assist in cancer biomarker assessment—particularly […]

This project aims to improve alarm systems in industrial facilities to help plant operators respond more effectively during abnormal situations by developing advanced, data-driven solutions. While alarm systems are designed to notify operators of abnormalities or equipment failures, in practice, operators often face an overwhelming number of alarms, many of which are unnecessary or repetitive. […]

This project brings together Davey Textile Solutions and the Multifunctional Design and Additive Manufacturing (MDAM) Lab at the University of Alberta to enhance textile production using additive manufacturing technology. Traditional tooling in textile factories is often generic and not optimized for ergonomics or specific tasks. This project addresses these limitations by designing and 3D printing […]

Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF), part of a comprehensive network of Canadian community foundations, acts as a bridge between donors and greater Edmonton charities to help create and maintain a strong, vibrant community for generations to come. Through permanent endowment funds, the Foundation disburses 3.5 per cent of its assets annually to greater Edmonton charities. As […]

The ability to isolate, control, and characterize individual spin states of qubits/quantum dots is crucial for quantum sensing and quantum computing. Achieving control over such quantum systems requires a fundamental understanding of materials at the atomic level. The best tool to access this information is scanning probe microscopy (SPM), which enables atomic-scale fabrication, and characterization […]

This one-year Accelerate project is the initial phase of a larger collaboration aiming to improve outcomes for men undergoing a specific prostate cancer treatment. The treatment, called MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA), is a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-intensity ultrasound to destroy prostate tissue, with MRI technology helping to plan and monitor the process. […]

The goal of this project is to develop effective strategies to improve the quality of CarboMat’s asphaltene-derived carbon fibers for various multifunctional composite applications. Through this project, the partner organization, CarboMat Inc., would be able to leverage their funding because of the grant from Mitacs Elevate to work towards further development of their existing asphaltene-derived […]

Battery technology plays a central role in driving significant advancements across various industries, ranging from electric vehicles to the Internet of Things. Among the various types of batteries, Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) exhibit potential advantages and are on the verge of commercialization due to their lower cost, enhanced safety, and greater availability compared to Li-ion batteries. […]

Metabolomics, with a focus on the analysis of all small molecules or the metabolome, has become an important tool for biological studies and biomarker discovery. It has a wide range of applications, including the improvement of disease diagnosis and prognosis in the clinic, the development of superior agriculture and agri-food products with enhanced production and […]
