The world has experienced rapid urbanization and population growth in recent years, which resulted in increased energy consumption, GHG emission, and climate change. To avoid dangerous climate change, different countries such as Canada developed plans to achieve net-zero emission by 2050. Technology plays an essential role in achieving these objectives. Planete GreenLeaves is a web-based […]

The proposed research project will aim to measure the reliability of changes in brain activity induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). rTMS is a non-invasive therapy that has been used to evoke changes in local and network-level brain activity in various clinical populations, including stroke and depression. The proposed project will test rTMS effectiveness […]

Buildings are vulnerable to moderate and powerful earthquakes. In order to keep their functionality during and after the seismic events, structural control systems are the promising candidates to be embedded in the buildings in which they dissipate the energy towards the building and separates the movements between the soil and the infrastructure. One of the […]

Quantum computers, that is, computers that exploit quantum mechanical phenomena to process information, have been shown to theoretically perform some computations faster than the best available methods on traditional computers. One widely applicable quantum computing technique is quantum search which offers an improvement to the problem of finding a needle in a digital haystack. Despite […]

In partnership with schools and community partners, the Restorative Action Program deals with bullying, physical violence, crime, mental health, substance abuse, suicide and self-harm – with programming delivered to over 8000 youth in Saskatoon schools. They work with youth to develop and practice conflict management, relationship management, and leadership skills – focusing on prevention, intervention […]

Reliability analysis of structures is crucial to ensure efficient operations in industrial assets. Nowadays, industries benefit from condition monitoring (CM) equipment to evaluate their products’ health. Current commercial reliability software can not accurately analyze the reliability of structures under time-varying conditions. The intern has previously developed an algorithm for accurate reliability analysis of different structures. […]

The intern is undertaking a research project on sustainability in the textile industry, and how to make the process not linear, but rather circular, so we can consider what happens to clothing at the end of its life. This research will be useful and beneficial for the partner organization, as the organization has a social […]

What does Kmb look like in the social sciences and humanities? Processes that lead to impact start with the creation of new knowledge (output) meant to transform approaches and attitudes, build competency and/or new types of relationships (outcomes). (See e.g., Bailey & Phipps 2019 and Phipps et al. 2016). These changes, in turn, may lead […]

Designing new anticancer agents using structure based drug design and the 3D structure of the biological target is becoming an increasingly important field of study. The main objective of this project is to develop and identify anticancer drug candidate(s) for advanced preclinical testing, with the end goal of identifying drug candidates suitable for clinical trials […]

As the number of patients with stroke and Parkinson’s Disease (PD) increases, it is essential to obtain treatment progress data efficiently for the home rehabilitation. For the therapy of hand disabilities, a system is required to collect data, process and control hand motions during rehabilitation. Current rehabilitation devices that are available in the market are […]

Laboratory pedagogy is considered absolutely critical for physics and engineering education ranging from high school to university. Among all universities worldwide, a well-known first-year physics experiment demonstration is a spring-coupled pendulums system. It demonstrates the coherent coupling; the underlying physics is reflected from classical mechanics to advanced quantum systems. It has excellent application from a […]

Rolling element bearings act as the heart of rotating machines. Any imperfection in their condition can lead to an abrupt failure which can be catastrophic. For more than two decades, implementing sensors for condition monitoring of bearings has been beneficial in preventing abrupt failure and fault detection. These sensors require a noise-free atmosphere to have […]
