This project aims to enhance and expand a comprehensive framework for holistic technology integration tailored to Indigenous values and needs. The first year will involve developing a detailed research plan, establishing relationships with key community stakeholders, and securing necessary permissions and ethical approvals. The project will then conduct primary consultations and interviews with community members, […]

Wasted food – the result of a linear pattern of producing, under-consuming and disposing of food – is a pervasive problem globally and in Canada, where 58% of the food produced is wasted each year: that’s 11.17 million tonnes of edible food at a value of $49.46 billion (Varney, 2021). Wasted food is a complex […]

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, characterised by periods of remission and flare-ups. The two main types of IBD are Crohn’s disease (CD), which can affect any part of the GI tract, and ulcerative colitis, which affects the colon. Predicting flare-ups and choosing the best treatments are major […]

This project aims enhance the safety and reliability of hydropower systems by preventing the creation of significant sub-atmospheric pressures (i.e. vacuum) in penstocks during rapid dewatering events. Air-intake systems relieve vacuum conditions, but the 3D flow dynamics around these systems during emergency scenarios are not fully understood. The project will develop a comprehensive suite of […]

Self-driving cars represent a transformative innovation in transportation, promising safer and more efficient travel. However, their development faces significant challenges, including accurate prediction, path planning, and safe maneuver execution, especially under varying driving conditions. Ensuring safety across all potential scenarios within the operational design domain is paramount. To effectively address this, we propose developing algorithms […]

The proposed research project aims to address the challenge of accurately detecting and classifying complex driving maneuvers in real-world conditions. Partnering with Matt3r Technologies Inc. in Vancouver, BC, this research will develop a deep learning model that uses multiple types of data, such as dashboard video, to achieve maneuver detection for autonomous vehicles. This innovation […]

Current leak detection methods for water pipelines, such as fixed acoustic devices and Pipeline Inspection Gadgets (PIGs), require shutting off the water supply and are often impractical for field inspections. These methods demand extensive workforce and time and often fail to detect smaller leaks effectively, leading to significant water loss, increased operational costs, and potential […]

The proposed semi-active rolling seismic isolation system offers an innovative solution to address limitations in passive isolators when exposed to near-fault seismic waves with velocity pulses. Passive isolators effectively control acceleration responses against typical far-field seismic waves but can allow excessive displacement responses during near-fault events, risking collisions and structural damage. This system integrates sloped […]

The objectives of this project are to enhance the user experience of CeMCOR’s website by implementing creative knowledge translation strategies by refreshing the design of the current website which will contribute to enhancing the dissemination of research findings by providing a seamless and engaging online platform for users to access CeMCOR’s resources and information.

They do this by engineering scalable, modular technology that harnesses the power of nature to help industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The engineers and chemists who comprise the company continue to innovate and produce Anodyne’s product line. Anodyne’s ultimate […]

With the number of opioid-related deaths continuing to rise, the demand for an effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is growing. While opioid antagonists are effective, compliance is an issue since they induce withdrawal. The botanical compound, TGIR-C is a promising non-opioid alternative that treats detoxification without inducing withdrawal. Further research on its neural […]
