Traditional drug development strategy is costly, tiresome, and labor-intensive. In the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have shown promising results to overcome some of these limitations. However, these computational technologies still cannot efficiently generate novel drugs with expected properties for treating specific diseases. Here we will apply new generation of AI frameworks to design […]

The average human consumes a credit card worth of plastic every week as a result of environmental microplastics. The tools and technology that are currently used to analyze chemical compound structures to identify polymer types in microplastics research are not well-calibrated for field-specific use. Raman spectroscopy data from microplastics samples is imperfect. Furthermore, plastics that […]

Canada is a global leader in the aerospace manufacturing industry. Canadian companies produce complex assemblies and system solutions including carbon fiber composite panels used in the body of airplanes. Manufacturing of such panels requires a significant number of operations such as trimming, drilling, and abrasion. Currently, some of these operations are performed manually, which is […]

Presently the electrical grids of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are operated with limited energy exchange between them. Connecting the three provinces together with a “Western Canada Grid (WCG)” could yield significant advantages. Connection with HVDC transmission is attractive due to its control flexibility and stability. This project will investigate optimum converter types and control methods […]

Computer attacks such as viruses, Trojans, etc. are a continuous problem for governments, companies, and individuals. The most common methods of detecting these computer problems like anti-virus systems rely on an attack being known and described before it can be detected. This opens a hole in computer security systems for new attacks that have not […]

Real-time digital power system simulators are used for testing and debugging control equipment intended for field installation. They simulate the power network in ‘real-time’, i.e., the simulation computations are rapidly completed so as to retain synchronism with a real-world clock. This requires the level of complexity in different components of the network to be judiciously […]

The current business model is based on charging individual users a monthly subscription fee (primary), as well as upselling add-ons mostly for “access to experts” in various forms. Companies who sponsor projects on the platform pay a one time fee for posting their project which includes the prize money for the winning teams. One of […]

The intern shall participate in a research and development project to create applications for the Goodlocal organization, that will help the organization expand it’s support of local businesses by providing logistical and operational services. Goodlocal’s body of work have confirmed that their successful online marketplace has largely benefited local business owners and in line with […]

Times series freight rates for trucking is notoriously difficult to obtain. The industry is comprised of different kinds of trucks (e.g., vans and flatdecks), serves different traffic lanes and has a very large number of carriers and shippers. Moreover, the data varies with the tempo of the general economy and seasonal variations. Aggregate data is […]

Level IT Up is considering expanding its current training and assessment process to include more adults with ASD working in skilled employment in Manitoba. This project will look at the feasibility of including additional element that address both employment readiness skills as well as social and independent living skills.

The aim of the project is to assess the benefits for Saskatchewan’s construction industry in adopting legislation similar to Manitoba’s Construction Industry Wages Act. The Manitoba legislation has been held up as a model of industrial stability by both employer associations and the building trades in that province. This project seeks to determine what benefits […]
