Evident in extreme weather events and a 1.1°C global temperature increase since the late 1800s, attributed to rising greenhouse gas emissions. It stresses the urgency of addressing climate change to meet 2030 and 2050 carbon and energy targets, presenting a sustainability challenge requiring broad-scale action on environmental, social, and economic fronts. The focus turns to […]

AltaML is an innovative company capitalizing on a major technological trend: artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, enabled by big data, are driving a fourth industrial revolution. AI will transform all industries, but traditional industries face challenges in implementing AI. AltaML has a unique business model to overcome barriers to adoption of AI solutions by industry, which […]

Happipad is a not-for-profit Canadian corporation which leverages technology to facilitate the matchmaking and support of home-sharing between refugees and hosts in Canada. Launching its pilot projects in Metro Vancouver and Toronto, Happipad wants to assess its effectiveness and benefits for refugees and minimize its potential barriers to make it a replicable framework for implementation […]

With the mining industry striving to become more sustainable, there is a pressing need to re-evaluate typical open pit restoration practices. Many open pit mining operations are naturally inundated after operations, leaving behind an unproductive lake. These sites neglect the environmental, cultural and socio-economic implications for dependent communities. One promising alternative that generates a positive […]

While many Canadian planning practitioners are familiar with the harmful legacies of transportation infrastructure development in the United States, particularly as it relates to the displacement and forced removal of racialized and low-income communities, there is comparatively little documentation or awareness of this history in Canada. This research project will contribute to filling this knowledge […]

Recent experimental advances have enabled the creation of setups where matter and quantized electromagnetic fields (photons) interact more strongly than the typical energy scale of the matter. Specifically, these strongly coupled light-matter systems have been achieved within the realm of cavity quantum electrodynamic (QED) materials, placing a material of interest inside a cavity of photon […]

Algorithms play an increasingly important role in our interactions with digital services. Companies like Spotify and Pandora use algorithms to identify mood-relevant music from massive databases of over 100 million tracks and deliver them to users through personalized playlists. To achieve this, they rely on software tools to analyze relevant musical properties—like timing (slow–fast), intensity […]

Quantum information metrics including fidelity, quantum divergences, and the trace norm provide the mathematical foundation for studying and understanding quantum states and processes. As such, quantum information metrics play a crucial role in quantum computing, simulation of quantum systems, and quantum machine learning (including quantum clustering, generative models, and machine learning of, and by, quantum […]

Due to massive population, rapid urbanization, and threats of climate change, China is facing serious water problems now and in the future. It is timely and relevant to establish an overall and inclusive framework for evaluating water management and research that will guide more efficient and easily integrated work between researchers and water managers. Ideally, […]

This project will focus on reinforcing biocomposite materials with a superhydrophobic plating to help improve the mechanical properties and industrial feasibility. Biocomposites are currently being widely researched because of their numerous advantages over materials traditionally used in manufacturing such as being easily recyclable, being made from materials which are found abundantly in nature, and having […]
