The increased global demand for energy coupled with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has rendered the development of the hydrogen economy a top priority for governments internationally. In Canada, the goal is for hydrogen to provide up to 30% of the energy demand by 2050. In this context, the devices required for hydrogen […]

Keeping the lights on for over 4 million people across the province takes a lot of talented people doing many different jobs, from working deep in a generating station, atop a power pole, or behind a desk. We’re working on upgrading transmission lines, building new substations, and investing in our hydroelectric generation facilities. It’s our […]

Today, quantum computers of any architecture still operate in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) regime, with systems composed of tens to hundreds of noisy qubits that are not protected from errors. To meaningfully solve challenging problems from industries using quantum computers, we need to make a system that is large enough in scale and robust […]

Climate change is impacting food and agricultural crops through a variety of new challenges such as intense heat, unusually intense storms, unseasonal warming and freezing events and wildfires. Plants are not able to move and therefore cannot avoid climate shocks or relocate to find resources. Protecting crops from climate damage is critical to ensuring the […]

Inspired by the success of deep learning approaches in human biomedical applications, applying deep learning in veterinary, specifically equine, diagnostic imaging is attracting increasing interest. The objective of this research project is to achieve automatic deep-learning based equine image analysis and assessment, including 1) automatic assessment of upper respiratory tract of racehorses from endoscopy videos; […]

Mitacs Accelerate has funded the first year of the Precast Design Studio. In this second and third year, the Mitacs intern, Chadia Uwamahoro, will conduct experiments on conventional horizontal connections to understand their cyclic behavior.

The purpose of this research project is to optimize a magnetic resonance technique designed to measure myelin in brain and spine. This technique holds great promise for diagnosis and management of neurodegenerative diseases as well as abnormal brain development. The finalgoal ofthe project is to have a magnetic resonance protocol which could be offered as […]

Immersive technologies create unique experiences by merging the real physical world to a virtual simulated reality. This technology has revolutionized the way in which organizations and many services are implemented. Recently, XR experiences have gained popularity because they can be universally displayed in any type of mobile device and do not require a headset. The […]

Currently, elite athletes and their coaches rely on the subjective self-awareness and measurement of muscle force, heart rate, and the amount of blood lactic acid level to monitor body fitness and athletic performance. These methods, however, are not ideal and always reliable due to subjective errors, technological limitations and individual confounding factors that limit the […]
