The proposed research project focuses on understanding how to better prevent and respond to cholera outbreaks, particularly in impoverished areas lacking clean water and proper sanitation. Despite having the tools to prevent cholera, most efforts are reactive rather than proactive, meaning resources are often mobilized only after an outbreak occurs. The study will analyze the […]

The recognition of gut microbiota, its interplay with human tissues and cells, and the signaling pathways they could generate in concrete with together, specially once imposed to gastrointestinal medications, encouraged researchers designing and establishing bioengineered platforms, enable to serve as a discovery tool for developing of microbiome-related therapeutics, monitoring medications combating detrimental effects of antimicrobial […]

The logistics industry faces significant inefficiencies due to lengthy planning and dispatching re-optimization processes, resulting in delays, increased compensations, and suboptimal transit times. These challenges arise from difficulties in assessing resource status, managing incoming requests, and coordinating communication between dispatchers, drivers, and resources. Our smart logistics optimization system leverages real-time data and advanced Artificial Intelligence […]

Breast cancer is a leading cause of female cancer deaths, but early detection significantly reduces mortality rates. Annual mammograms are common for women aged 40 and older, but those under 40 often go undiagnosed. False negatives are a concern, especially with dense breast tissue. Many women with detected lesions or genetic risk experience stress during […]

My technology introduces AsphaDots, a lubricant derived from asphaltenes-based carbon dots. This innovative product aims to address friction and wear issues in steel and related materials, commonly found in sliding, rolling, or contact interfaces in industrial machinery, as well as in natural and biological systems. Water-based lubricants have become alternatives to petroleum-based lubricants in a […]

The rise of Big Data, social networking, and mobile interactions coupled with an accelerating increase in the amount of structured and unstructured information enabled by cloud based technologies is forcing organizations to focus on information that is most relevant, value-generating, and risk-related. Problems arise when we make decisions based on good enough metrics (e.g. means) […]

The demand across British Columbia (and Canada) for access to outdoor spaces and outdoor recreation opportunities has skyrocketed. As a result of recreation-related impacts and the increase in visitation nature-based recreation managers have looked for new and innovative communication interventions to support responsible recreation practices. Specifically, the use of pledges has recently increased across the […]

Every technology today, from phones to EVs, rely heavily on lithium-ion batteries, which account for more than 90% of the world grid market. While these batteries make us independent of fossil fuels, we must remember that lithium is a finite resource, hence making it crucial for maintaining a secure Lithium supply and ensuring proper disposal […]

Edmonton’s Chinatown has long served as a vibrant cultural, social and commercial hub for generations of Asian immigrants and local residents. Yet it is characterized by a complex blend of social and economic challenges. This proposed project, “Growing a Sustainable Tourism in Edmonton’s Chinatown,” is designed to accelerate efforts to revitalize Edmonton’s Chinatown through planning […]

My project involves the development of sustainable and economical nanocomposite 3D material. The project aims to address the issue of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) contamination of wastewater. The presence of pharmaceuticals and PPCPs in aquatic environments has become a pressing global issue, endangering marine life and human health. PPCPs encompass a broad range […]
