The bank swallow is a species of insectivorous songbird considered to be threatened in Canada and has been prioritized for conservation action. All swallow species in Canada are migratory, and in their annual cycle, the post-breeding to first migration period is considered to be a difficult and dangerous time for juvenile birds. We propose to […]

The proposed research project is to design a microfluidic contact lens that will be used to track the fluctuations in intraocular pressure. Intraocular pressure is the primary factor to monitor the progression of glaucoma, which is a chronic disease that leads to permanent vision loss and currently has no cure, making early and frequent testing […]

Hop In is changing the way that people travel on a daily basis. By exploring the depth of Smart Technology; Hop In will improve access to jobs, improve cleantech initiatives, and alleviate congestion on roadways.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in middle-aged and older Canadians attending primary care practitioners. As the Canadian population ages and with increasing obesity, OA will become an increasing burden for individuals and the health care system. Given the potential of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data for surveillance of the population that is at high […]

The “Assessing forest harvesting impacts on furbearer habitat at the scale of Indigenous traplines – A case study in Indigenous consultation and forest conservation” project is planned to enhance the understanding of Indigenous rights holders concerning forest management activities that impact the distribution of forest types and ages upon which the forest dwelling wildlife that […]

Le but de ce projet est de développer des modèles précis du mouvement des membres supérieurs en utilisant des modèles précis de la biomécanique des membres supérieurs et des algorithmes de machine learning. Ces modèles seront utilisés afin de mettre en place des protocoles expérimentaux permettant de mieux comprendre la manière avec laquelle le système […]

The proposed project involves the development of a microgrid energy management system (or microgrid control unit – MCU) to synchronize the actions of devices such as batteries, solar panels, and other generators to achieve increased energy savings. The MCU will allow all devices to interact and exchange information seamlessly, in a “plug and play” fashion. […]

The oral history interviews will preserve for posterity first-person perspectives of the careers and achievements of eminent Canadian engineers since the 1960s. Interviewees will be individuals who have made significant contribution to Canadian achievements in biological, civil, electrical, geotechnical, mechanical, and dam engineering fields. As much as possible, they will represent a broad diversity of […]

Petroleum hydrocarbons (comprise crude oil, gasoline, and diesel) are an important energy resource used by industries and human. At the same time, contamination by oil and oil products has caused serious harm to humans and the environment and increasing attention has been paid to the development and implementation of innovative technologies for the removal of […]

During COVID-19 the demand for the services at Connected Canadians has gone up significantly, and the strain on the volunteer management team has gone through the roof. Communities all over Canada asking Connected Canadians for help. One of the key areas that have expanded in scope is dealing with those communities, and standardizing the procedures […]

In the proposed exchange project, we plan to develop a new collaborative partnership that integrates the expertise of advanced optical imaging instrumentation (McMaster: Fang) and image sequence analysis (INRIA: Kervrann) towards new dynamic imaging technologies. Specifically, we are interested in optofluidics imaging flowcytometers for point-of-care infectious diseases diagnosis as well as high throughput protein-protein interaction […]

Destinations have quickly become victims of their own success. Destination Management Organisations (DMO’s) worldwide are making a much needed shift towards the inclusion of management alongside their marketing priorities for destination management, but are often ill equipped. There is a current gap in the marketplace for useful, comprehensive and user-friendly tools to assist them. This […]
