Uncontrolled atmospheric, fixed-roof tanks often “breathe” straight to air through relief valves and hatches, releasing methane. Many small or remote sites can’t justify flares or VRUs, so we’re developing a Selective PSRV, a membrane-based vent that lets nitrogen and oxygen out while holding back methane and heavier hydrocarbons. In our Lab2Market Validate work we spoke […]

This project investigates existing and potentially new approaches to analyze functional brain structures in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), using advanced neuroimaging such as fMRI, and machine learning. The goal is to identifying patterns built on dependent features within the images representing the connectivity matrices of brain regions. The project will investigate whether causal […]

Transport Canada is the regulatory agency in Canada that oversees the certification of RPAS (Remotely piloted aircraft systems) and has presented a roadmap for RPAS manufacturers to demonstrate the evidence that a given platform can meet safety objectives. The project will be completed by the iART alliance and aims to develop the technical evidence required […]

Efficient real-time scheduling of bus operations remains a critical challenge in urban transit systems, particularly under uncertain traffic conditions and high passenger demand variability. Our existing Double Deep Q-Network (Double DQN) implementation has demonstrated promising results in learning optimal holding and stop-skipping policies for bus operations. However, as urban networks grow in complexity and require […]

This project aims to help BioAro Inc., a Calgary-based biotech startup, promote its two new health products—PanOmiQ and BioSport—by improving how they reach and connect with customers. The project will help BioAro to research the market, identify who the ideal customers are, and create engaging content and strategies to raise awareness. The project will aim […]

We are developing a novel microfluidic platform designed to enable efficient concentration of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from biological fluids such as plasma, serum, etc. This system reduces sample volumes from 1–10?ml down to less than 100?µl without the need for bulky instrumentation or centrifugation, offering a scalable and user-friendly alternative to conventional methods. By leveraging […]

This project focuses on exploring how a new diagnostic technology—magnetic Pickering nanoemulsions—can help improve the way we understand fluid flow in underground rock formations, such as those found in oil and gas reservoirs. These nanoemulsions are tiny droplets that are stable under harsh conditions and can be tracked using magnetic tools, making them useful for […]

Potato diseases remain a major limiting factor in profitable potato production. The aim of this study is to conduct fundamental studies of potato black dot disease, caused by the soil-borne fungus Colletotrichum coccodes, and to evaluate management strategies to reduce the incidence of black dot in potato fields of Alberta. The study involves assessment of […]

This mixed-method study focuses on bringing new learning to the field of women in leadership, particularly their level of happiness and well-being. Using female senior leaders at a Canadian bank, a quantitative survey will be administered to 225 leaders. The survey utilizes a combination of an adapted Cantril’s Ladder (Gallup), the Eudaimonic Workplace Well-Being Scale, […]

In this project, we are working on a large repository of historical homicide case files, which is majorly unstructured text. We are building a framework for knowledge graph extraction with the help of existing information extraction models further augmented and made robust with the help of existing state-of-the-art publicly available LLMs’ zero/few shot capabilities. We […]

This project aims to improve the uptake and provide further efficacy evidence of Bionic Power Incorporated’s Agilik lower-limb orthosis in Canada. To fulfill this goal, baseline predictors of long-term health-related quality of life associated with the Agilik’s treatment of knee flexion-extension impairment will be identified through an observational prospective cohort study, looking at real-world impacts […]
