The heavy-duty fuel cell truck project will address specific challenges in decarbonizing the BC heavy duty transportation sector. Class 8 heavy duty fuel cell trucks available for US markets are not suitable for the challenging demands of BC terrain as well as higher allowable transportation loads of 64 tons versus 40 tons. Simulations will be […]

Radiographic AI Assessment (RAIA) is a web-based application tailored for veterinary practices, focusing on chest radiographs. With millions of annual veterinary clinic visits in Canada, many involving radiography, RAIA addresses the need for better diagnostic quality. It offers automatic quality assessment, enhancing radiology technicians’ ability to deliver high-quality radiographs essential for accurate diagnoses.

Our project, MindVitality Pro, is all about creating a special app to help older folks keep their brains active and stay socially connected. As people age, they might have trouble with memory and thinking, which can be tough. Our app will be like a friendly guide, offering fun brain exercises and games, tailored to each […]

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are proposed to improve existing training methods of machine operations and maintenance. It can reduce the need of the physical equipment to get hands on experience. Virtual models of machines are built to perform all the tasks as required in the real life such as troubleshoot different […]

This project presents an innovative approach to personalized nutrition using 3D food printing technology. It comprises two key components. Firstly, a decision-support system is designed to evaluate the feasibility of turning a 3D food design into a tangible, edible product. This system helps ensure that the food is not only nutritious but also practical to […]

The proposed project is to develop a market viable insect pests detection in stored grains system based on the interns novel active microwave sensing technique. This proposal seeks to build upon optimizing the sensing capabilities of the prototype and to coherently develop a functional array of sensors. Building upon these fundamentals the project will extend […]

Over the years, edible mushrooms have gained increasing recognition for their nutritional value and the potent medicinal properties they offer. Bioactive compounds found in mushrooms, particularly phenolic compounds, exhibit valuable qualities such as anti-proliferative and antioxidant properties. Surprisingly, until now, there has been no investigation into the potential antioxidant effectiveness of Chaga mushrooms of different […]

Tech companies must regularly use expensive bench-top instrumentation to test the devices and systems they bring to market by making accurate input-output measurements of the attenuation and time-delay of RF/MW energy when it propagates through, or across, their devices or systems of concern. When the system being measured becomes very large, such as when one […]

The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries in daily applications has driven the need for improved battery technology. However, the separation of battery electrode components is a key factor leading to a decrease in battery lifetime. Traditional binders, a critical component in batteries, have been associated with high costs and environmental concerns due to the use […]

This project aims to take advantage of the blockchain ecosystem to detect fake news. This is done by designing a rating system that works on the blockchain network through which a group of verified reviewers will rate the news prior to broadcasting. News with inadequate verification from reviewers will be marked as ‘fake’. Afterward, the […]

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a process of building products with the material layer by layer. It can produce the products with complex geometries in a simple setup. But it is a challenge in selecting right printing parameters to build a quality part. This project proposes using machine learning techniques for […]
