This internship follows a four-year collaboration of a group of Inuit artists with settler Canadian artist and Ph.D. candidate Micky Renders, who are raising awareness about the historical, present and imagined future of ‘wastes’ in Panniqtuuq, Nunavut. This internship will support the critical curation of socially-engaged visual art and stories on the theme of Arctic […]

This project aims to develop a fuel cell-powered refrigerated trailer that can operate in different climatic conditions to provide cleaner transportation. Hydrogen will be the only source for refrigerated trailer operations. The present project has three objectives: to develop a thermal management system for extreme winter and summer conditions for operating the fuel cell under […]

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 […]

Few studies have investigated how rest period impact behavioral, metabolic, and clinical indicators of health and welfare of surplus dairy calves during long distance transportation. This project aims to fill these knowledge gaps and determine if unloading calves from the trailer for a rest period will mitigate the impact of transport. Results from this study […]

Oil and natural gas are typically found in the reservoir rock, accumulating over millions of years and can be extracted through various techniques and technologies. The oil from the reservoir can be extracted in three stages: primary, secondary and tertiary. Secondary techniques are often implemented after the production from the primary stage ceases, mainly due […]

Quantum computers can potentially solve problems that are intractable for classical computers. However, despite the development of a theory on the processing of quantum information over the years, the computers we use every day still outperform their quantum counterparts, if we exclude some as interesting as specific tasks. In fact, quantum states that are manipulated […]

Artificial 3D vision is computationally intensive. It takes an impractically long time for a robot to analyze a video frame in order to accurately estimate the locations of nearby obstacles. This project will develop new techniques for selecting only the most important regions of each video frame to analyze at each moment, so that a […]

This research project aims to enhance estimators for nonlinear dynamic models with non-Gaussian errors. Objectives include improving the semi-parametric GCov estimator by addressing numerical challenges and proposing an optimized algorithm. Adjustments to the objective function will handle sparsity and singularity issues in big data applications. The project will apply the GCov estimator to analyze the […]

This project seeks to address new stormwater management and flood control measures by proposing a smart blue roof at Credit Valley Conservation’s (CVC) main office building. The blue roof system will temporarily capture rainwater using the roof as a storage reservoir and then allow the water to evaporate and/or to be used for non-potable requirements […]

This collaborative project will be undertaken by researchers at the University of Guelph and Bremen. The primary objective of this project will be to determine whether a multi-sensor wearable is more accurate at predicting energy expenditure amongst preschoolers. Data from Canadian (n=40; 3-5 years of age) and German children (n=40; 3-5 years of age) will […]

Mineral exploration is one of the biggest drivers of the Canadian economy, and the critical minerals discovered in Canada have global relevance for a green energy market. However, today’s mineral exploration projects require higher spatial resolution and better subsurface models to become viable. Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV) present new exploration platforms that carry geophysical sensors […]
