The LinkedWell Companion project is creating an intelligent and compassionate digital tool that helps families and healthcare providers communicate more clearly and stay connected beyond short medical appointments. In many clinics, appointments last only a few minutes, and patients often leave with unanswered questions, forgotten details, or confusion about what to do next. LinkedWell aims […]

Many Canadian companies and researchers struggle to find affordable, secure, and easy-to-use data labelling tools. Most existing platforms are foreign-owned, which can cause privacy issues and make it harder for small teams to work with sensitive information. It also prevents us from building local expertise and jobs in AI data management. Zester aims to solve […]

More than 90% of pharmaceuticals fail to impact fail to pass regulatory approval due to toxicity or lack of effectiveness. 50% of those failures have the potential to impact patient lives and existing therapeutics can be repurposed to expand therapeutic options if they can be delivered in smaller dosages to where they are needed most. […]

This project develops an intelligent automation system to revolutionize how we inspect safety-critical components in industries like aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. It focuses on Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), a powerful but skill-dependent method for finding hidden flaws in materials. Currently, interpreting PAUT data demands highly trained technicians to analyze complex signal patterns and images. […]

ParkSmart is an AI-powered parking analytics platform designed to make parking management more efficient, accessible, and sustainable for cities, campuses, and organizations. The system utilizes existing camera footage and applies computer vision and artificial intelligence to detect parked vehicles and identify stall occupancy in real time. Through this approach, ParkSmart generates live parking availability simulation […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à améliorer le traitement des données 3D produites par des capteurs comme le Lidar, utilisés pour cartographier des environnements en haute précision. Ces capteurs génèrent des milliards de points, appelés nuages de points, qui sont aujourd’hui difficiles à analyser rapidement et efficacement. L’objectif est de développer des outils capables de […]

Petroleum-based plastics are recalcitrant and pervasive environmental contaminants. Recycling only recovers 9% of post-consumer plastic, the rest is landfilled, incinerated, or discharged into the environment. While most plastic recycling methods convert plastic into lower value products, biocatalytic plastic depolymerization to component monomers then available for resynthesis of valuable products is an attractive alternative. Biocatalyst-based recycling […]

Après la naissance d’un grand prématuré, le développement de son cerveau se poursuit à l’intérieur de l’incubateur. Favoriser ce développement de façon optimale est une priorité des soins, en particulier pour les infirmières néonatales. L’une des stratégies pour y parvenir est de promouvoir un sommeil de qualité, avec le moins d’éveils possible. Le sommeil est […]

This project explores how the sustainability efforts of select Atlantic Canadian businesses are enhancing their competitiveness and profitability, as well as positively affecting the communities and systems they operate within. We will develop 10-12 mini case studies, highlighting how organizations’ actions have strengthened their business model and competitive advantage while simultaneously creating social and/or environmental […]

L’enjeu de cette recherche est double : approfondir la compréhension scientifique des mortiers intégrant des sables recyclés et identifier les conditions (type et dosage d’adjuvants) permettant d’obtenir des performances comparables aux mortiers traditionnels. Le manque actuel de connaissances, combiné à la sévérité des normes en vigueur, freine encore la commercialisation de tels matériaux. Une des […]

This project aims to develop sustainable precursors for carbon fibers by combining polyacrylonitrile (PAN), the main industrial raw material, with natural tannin derivatives. Fibers will be produced using solution blow spinning (SBS), a simple and scalable technique compared to electrospinning. Tannins, renewable plant-based polyphenols, can improve fiber stability and performance while reducing reliance on fossil-derived […]

This project aims to create new types of hydrovoltaic generators, which are devices that produce electricity from small amounts of moisture in the air or water. While these generators are promising for clean energy and water treatment, current versions are not durable enough and cannot adapt well to changing environments. By combining my expertise in […]
