Exotic derivatives of various kinds contribute significantly to the risk exposure that must be managed by banks. In order to be competitive, banks need to assess their risk exposure frequently, and make necessary adjustments to their positions. Assessing risk exposure involves computing valuations of all the assets in their investment portfolio, along with their sensitivities. […]

The proposed project aims to generate wind-optimal aircraft trajectories for the North Atlantic airspace, which will not only benefit the airlines by allowing them to fly the preferred routes and save on carbon emissions, flight time and fuel costs, but also benefit air traffic by providing safe separation between flights through the use of strategic […]

Our project aims to improve our understanding of the limits of exercise capacity by using a novel model for critical power, the highest intensity at which a steady state can be achieved in cycling. We will test whether the modified 3-parameter critical power model fits power-duration data better than existing models. This will involve well-trained […]

This research project aims to improve patients’ understanding of dental procedures through a collaborative learning approach in a dental office. The project involves patients, dental professionals, and researchers working together to create interactive digital artwork that explains different dental treatments. Patients will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences, which will be used […]

Cultural food insecurity, which is the inability to acquire, afford, and eat the traditional foods of one’s ethnic origin is a form of food insecurity that disproportionately affects new immigrant, especially the Black identifying Canadians. However, research that explores alternative ways to diversity Canadian food systems to accommodate new immigrants and to allow for smooth […]

The proposed project aims to develop an assistive device that helps mitigate crouch gait in people with Cerebral Palsy (CP) by integrating the Bionic Power Agilik system with a tuneable exoskeleton device to explore the optimal knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO) parameters for ultimate clinical use of the Agilik. The exoskeleton device will enable more […]

The purpose of this project is to develop and expand the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomer’s (EMCN) career development processes and supports for LGBTQ+ immigrants and refugees in their Rainbow Refuge and Bridging and Training Programs. Settlement practitioners and social workers have identified LGBTQ+ newcomers as especially vulnerable to systemic barriers when applying for work […]

This research project will examine the experiences of racialized newcomers living in Edmonton, Alberta, who are living in food insecurity, a state where people have inadequate amounts and/or inappropriate types of food. Current research has studied food security more broadly; however, risk is higher among certain groups including individuals who are Black, Indigenous, or persons […]

The City of Edmonton corporation has declared one of its top goals is to move away from business-as-usual ways of working, to be able to integrate climate justice thinking and future fit solutions into organizational processes, including but not limited to the institutionalization of a carbon budget/accounting system.
