Weight reduction has been one of major driving forces of research and innovation in automotive industries. Changing from the conventional Laser overlap welding to edge welding could save 50% of total weight of joint flanges of workpiece. Also, edge welding can significantly improve the welded joint mechanical properties. However, edge welding is challenging since the […]

Detecting insects and estimating their densities in stored grain bins especially at their low densities is critical for insect control. Our group developed a microwave resonance sensor which can detect insects without grain. The application of the sensor in stored grain bins should be further studied. Therefore, the general goal of this proposed study is […]

In our research project, we aim to address environmental contamination caused by biphenyl and biphenyl ether, common pollutants from industrial activities. These chemicals, found in products like building materials and thermal energy transfer fluids, pose risks to both ecosystems and human health. Conventional cleanup methods often fall short, requiring a more sustainable approach. Our solution […]

WAT Medical Enterprise is developing is a new and innovative wellness technology that may help with weight loss called the ObeEnd band. The band uses electrical pulses to stimulate an acupressure point close to the wrist, which our previous research study shows can decrease the amount of food intake. More research is needed to identify […]

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy when used in conjunction with clear aligner orthodontic treatment has been shown in clinical studies literature to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, reduce orthodontically induced tooth root resorption, and shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment. In-market use of LIPUS technology as an adjunct the clear aligners has grown significantly […]

The overall goal of this project is for the University science team at the University of Ottawa and University of New Brunswick to develop high quality Echinacea products for Canadian and world markets in collaboration with Amway Canada. One objective involves phytochemical and pharmacological selection and propagation of elite Echinacea from the historic Echinacea germplasm […]

Innovation is increasingly necessary to alleviate the systemic strain on healthcare systems around the world. However, despite significant investment in universities and hospitals to support the integration and application of research its application continues to greatly lag research discoveries. Graduate students play an increasing role in addressing this issue. They have the knowledge, motivation, and […]

A digitalized method for finger dexterity test to evaluate and track neurological health base on daily activities, including a digital platform for finger dexterity assessment and a testing way base on the finger interaction between human hands, daily activities and wearables. This method can help XO Technology expand the application of motion analysis and wearable […]

The goal of this project is to develop effective strategies to improve the quality of CarboMat’s asphaltene-derived carbon fibers for various multifunctional composite applications. Through this project, the partner organization, CarboMat Inc., would be able to leverage their funding because of the grant from Mitacs Elevate to work towards further development of their existing asphaltene-derived […]

Music interventions have been seen to be effective in promoting social, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing, and may be specifically favoured by older adults. However, little is known on the effectiveness of a music intervention that is adapted to the mood and preferences of individual older adults. To fill this gap, the proposed project will assess […]

The conventional approach of applying agro-chemicals uniformly to control pests in the potato field may not be the most efficient solution. The non-uniform distribution of pests and weeds necessitated site-specific management utilizing variable-rate and real-time spraying. To this end, a project is currently underway to implement of camera and detection pest algorithm as sensing system […]

This research project is focused on improving a potential treatment for life-threatening lung disorders through gene therapy, which involves using a genetically engineered virus (a viral vector) to deliver a healthy copy of the problematic gene to the patient’s lung cells. Our project has three main goals. First, we want to increase the production capacity […]
