Development of supply chain for wood pellet heating applications in the Canadian Northwest Territories

This project will explore how wood pellets can be used more widely as an affordable, sustainable heating option in the Northwest Territories (NWT). While some areas already use wood pellets, there’s potential to expand this environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels like oil and diesel. The research will involve gathering information, working with local communities, […]

Improving Differentially Private Deep Learning Models

Machine Learning (ML) models are known to leak information about the data they were trained on, enabling membership and reconstruction attacks [7]. Such privacy risks damage trust in ML, and hinder the broad adoption of model co-training, through Federated Learning or cloud-based co-training. This is especially true in sensitive domains that could significantly benefit from […]

Content centric networks

The advent of smartphones and the associated change in usage patterns indicates that carrier voice revenues are constantly going down and are expected to almost vanish in the near future. Data revenues are picking up but not at a rate which will make up for the shortfall in voice revenues. Also, the increase in data […]

Study to increase production efficiency in a lumber recycling process

This project promotes the use of recycled material by diverting it from current waste streams, thus reducing the pressures on local landfills and positively contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. However, processing lumber waste generated in construction and demolition projects remains challenging due to the variability in dimensions and wood species as well […]

Ex Vivo Live Imaging of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in D. melanogaster

This project aims to investigate asymmetric cell division (ACD) in blood cell development using live imaging and Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) as a model system. Hematopoiesis, the process of blood cell formation, relies on tightly regulated mechanisms to balance stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Disruptions in this balance can cause blood disorders such as leukemia. […]
