We have developed a novel data augmentation procedure that can significantly enhance machine learning-based classification of different brain imaging scans. We will further expand this program to be used to create a novel animal model of brain diseases which will allow researchers to investigate earliest signs of diseases, the progression rates of which may vary […]

Marketing Plan Creation for a MedTech Start Up in Manitoba, Canada

This proposal presents research projects to evaluate a new technology, Electrovestibulography (EVestGTM) that holds potential to objectively, quickly and quantitatively measure the severity of concussion, thus aiding in its diagnosis. EVestG signals are recorded painlessly and non-invasively from the external ear in response to a vestibular stimulus; they are the brain signals modulated by the […]

The project will investigate a novel HVdc transmission arrangement referred to as a “symmetrical monopole”. This configuration has the ability to continue operation even when one of the transmission line conductors is faulted. This property allows for the use of new compact dc transmission lines which occupy only a fraction of the right-of-way of other […]

The internships proposed here deal with the development of a physical prototype and efficient mathematical models of a modular multi-level converter (MMC). MMCs have attracted a great deal of attention as a promising technology for the new generation of high-voltage dc power transmission systems. Development of a physical laboratory prototype MMC is an essential step […]

In Canada, 1 in 7 men are likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing is currently not recommended in Canada as population based screening test. Prostate cancer, like other tumors, disperses tumor cells into circulation. If effectively isolated, molecularly analyzed and characterized, CTCs are potentially a reliable […]

The Rural Development Institute (RDI) and Eco-West Canada are studying 135 Manitoba municipalities, focusing on accessing the state of their climate mitigation and adaptation/resiliency plans. This initiative aims to evaluate existing climate action strategies, identify gaps, and align them with funding criteria under the Mobilizing Municipalities program. Through research and collaboration, the project aims to […]

This project is focused on the design of patterned metallic claddings for transmissive electromagnetic metasurfaces. These are thin devices that are composed of sub-wavelength unit cells. Metasurfaces can synthesize electromagnetic radiation patterns; thus, they can offer various applications in wireless communications, satellite communications, electromagnetic imaging and remote sensing. The properties of their unit cells are […]
