Coastal landscapes, bridging the terrestrial and marine environments, are characterized by their dynamic shorelines and diverse geomorphological features, including soft and rocky shores, cliffs, coastal shelves, and wetlands. These habitats are crucial for supporting life cycles, marine food webs, and broader ecosystem functions. As climate change and human activities increasingly impact these areas, effective monitoring […]

In this project, we will design a set of communication protocols dedicated for linear wireless sensor networks, which have promising applications in the real world for environment and infrastructure monitoring. The protocols will be implemented and evaluated by using the multimode, enhanced wireless senor nodes developed in the host academic supervisor’s lab. With the objectives […]

This project explores consumer resistance to purchasing and using zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs), in the context of Canada’s goals to transition to 100% ZEV sales in the passenger vehicle market by 2035. A key uncertainty regarding this transition is how later buyers will respond. To date, little research has focused on understanding “ZEV resistance”: the various […]

Telemedicine systems can connect health practitioners and patients with specialists in geographically distant regions. Yet we still do not have a strong understanding of how such systems are used and how they support or impede the workflow of health professionals. This research explores how nurses, general practitioners, and specialists make use of telemedicine systems and […]

This project is a strategic planning project designed to transfer skills and capacity building in the form of a five-year strategic plan for the Sii T’ax Economic Development Corporation. This project will also include an assessment of the current business units of the Sii T’ax Economic Development Corporation. Based on recent and current ISIS projects […]

The project aims to provide accessible, empirically-guided, and population-specific mental health interventions. These interventions will be co-created with the populations who will benefit from them, using a participatory action framework developed by applicant Kev Kokoska’s PhD research with incarcerated people. The core idea is to tailor and repurpose the mental health tools that have proven […]

Rapid testing has emerged as a core pillar of public health and diagnostics, and relies heavily on lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) test kits. Lateral flow assay dispenser (LFAD) is the preferred method of manufacturing LFIA test kits. Significant improvements in LFAD can significantly improve through put, while simultaneous reduce costs. The increased adoption of Industry […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

We aim to help law enforcement agencies tackle today’s most sophisticated crimes by enhancing their productivity, improving crime clearance rates, improve the success rate in speedy trials, and driving crime prevention through the power of AI-driven crime prediction.

Stream discharge, a measurement of the volume of water passing a location along a stream, is an essential variable in many engineering and scientific projects. Discharge can be measured by injecting tracer material (such as common table salt or coloured dyes) into a stream and observing how the material mixes in the stream channel. For […]

Extreme weather events from heat domes to storms to flooding signal the pressing nature of the climate emergency. These events often leave citizens scrambling to respond and public officials in a reactive mode. This is becoming increasingly true with the intensity and unpredictability of environmental hazards. A prime example is the June 2021 extreme heat […]

Blockchain technology and VCs, in principle, can enhance the security, privacy, efficiency, and trustworthiness of the digital exchange of credentials. However, several challenges hinder the adoption of VCs and blockchain, including resistance from the public and some authorities driven by a lack of understanding of the technologies and political motives. There is a limited empirical […]
