Commercializing CO2-Derived Clay Polymer for Agricultural Applications

This project between McMaster University and Carbon Upcycling Technologies (CUT) aims to commercialize sustainable agricultural products made from captured CO2. The team will assess markets for sprayable clay–polymer coatings that protect crops from UV damage and clay-based soil conditioners that improve water and nutrient retention. The outcomes will guide pilot partnerships and help CUT scale […]

Quantum Machine Learning for Computational Drug Discovery

Drug discovery is traditionally slow, costly, and high-risk, with timelines exceeding a decade and expenses reaching billions. This lag is particularly problematic for neglected diseases and cardiovascular conditions, which carry significant global burdens but attract limited research investment. To address this, the project proposes leveraging quantum computing and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to accelerate drug discovery. […]

Comparing the performance of UAV-derived statistical models with established mechanistic models to measure microclimatic conditions in open and closed canopy environments

Climate change is reshaping ecosystems, yet regional climate data often overlook the fine-scale temperature patterns that species actually experience. These local variations, or microclimates, are influenced by vegetation, topography, and land cover, and can shield organisms from extreme conditions. This project aims to improve how we model and map microclimates using high-resolution drone imagery. We […]

AI-Driven Compliance Automation Platform for Cybersecurity and Privacy Standards

Organizations today face increasing difficulty keeping up with cybersecurity and privacy rules such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and Canada’s PIPEDA. Meeting these requirements is often slow, expensive, and prone to human error because compliance checks are still done mostly by hand. To address this, Carleton University and Sabytel Technologies Inc. are working together […]

Porous Structure Modeling

This project focuses on developing better computer models to predict how recycled concrete can store and transfer heat for use in thermal energy storage (TES) systems. Instead of relying only on expensive and time-consuming experiments, the project will create more accurate and efficient simulation methods that can speed up the design of sustainable energy storage […]

Exploration of the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Small, Rural Northern Municipality

The proposed project aims to modernize the Township of Terrace Bay’s records and data management systems by integrating AI-powered tools that streamline operations and enhance decision-making. Currently reliant on manual processes and limited digital infrastructure, the municipality faces challenges in organizing, analyzing, and retrieving key service data. This initiative will introduce automated classification systems, predictive […]

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Predictive Modeling for Canine Pain Assessment and Personalized Analgesic Recommendations

Accurately assessing and managing pain in dogs is one of the most challenging aspects of veterinary medicine because animals cannot verbally communicate their discomfort. Current methods rely heavily on behavioral observations and standardized scoring tools, which are often subjective and prone to inconsistencies. This project aims to address these limitations by developing an AI-powered predictive […]

Co-creating a toolkit for senior-led community programs

Social isolation and loneliness are major challenges for older adults, affecting their mental, physical, and cognitive health. This project aims to promote older adults’ social participation in their neighbourhoods and reduce risk of social isolation by collaboratively creating a practical, evidence-based toolkit that older adults can use to develop and lead neighbourhood-based social programs. The […]
