High performing asphalt pavements are vital to the continual operation of North America’s transportation network. Asphalt, which is a mixture of asphalt cement, aggregates, and fillers, is paved at high temperatures and compacted to provide a smooth, waterproof, and safe wearing coarse for vehicles. Over the 15-to-20-year lifespan of the pavement, the asphalt surface can […]

Point-of-Care DNA tests have grown in importance throughout recent years. Incorporation of devices in patient beside treatment requires fast turn-around times for results as well as economic feasibility. Spartan Bioscience, a local biotechnology company, has developed a technology that can detect abnormalities in a person’s DNA. In an effort to develop next generation technology, Spartan […]

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites provide wide area global perspectives through images of the Earth’s surfaces and its governing processes. Capable of detecting small variations in surface roughness, and unconstrained by lighting and weather conditions, SAR is a robust remote sensing instrument. Designing and operating a SAR is a complex process, as there are numerous […]

Three-dimensional (3D) reality capture is an umbrella term for imaging techniques used to create accurate models of real scenes. An important reality capture technology is lidar or laser scanner devices that collect three-dimensional measurements of objects they can see. Laser scanners can be deployed on aircraft, a surveying tripod or on a self-driving car. Regardless […]

With the escalating demand for sustainability and climate monitoring, LoRa mesh networks have proven instrumental in large-scale environmental monitoring. Serving as the final link in a mesh network, gateways play a critical role by gathering measurements from each sensor and transmitting them to the internet. The performance of gateways is crucial to the efficacy of […]

Le RM-581 est un dérivé aminostéroïde (AM) qui démontre des activités anticancéreuses prometteuses dans plusieurs types de cancers et ce, dans différents modèles in vitro et in vivo. Le défi de recherche dans ce projet sera d’étendre la propriété intellectuelle (PI) actuelle autour de l’aminostéroïde RM-581 par la synthèse de dérivés modifiés de sa partie […]

In this project, we aim to improve the efficiency of waste detection on conveyor belts using advanced computer vision technology. By incorporating innovative generative models and data fusion techniques, we seek to enhance the accuracy of identifying different types of waste materials. This research will contribute to more effective waste sorting processes, ultimately reducing environmental […]

Les utilisateurs de fauteuil roulant motorisé sont nombreux. Leur positionnement est un enjeu majeur pour les utilisateurs et les cliniciens, il peut permettre de limiter l’occurrence de plaies de pression, enjeux socio-économique majeur dans le monde. Amylior inc., leader canadien dans le domaine des fauteuils roulant motorisé, a pour objectif de créer un fauteuil roulant […]

Light electric vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters are gaining popularity. However, due to lack of standardization each brand/manufacturer use different battery configurations. Consequently, designing a public charging station for light electric vehicles is a challenge. Moreover, wireless charging of light electric vehicles offers a more elegant and convenient solution. Thus, the goal of the […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

The two major objectives of the umbrella grant are to 1) empower the partner organization to improve their digital capacity and gain insight into their data to support business growth and innovation. 2) Provide students with work-integrated learning experiences that expose the students to advanced data analytical techniques, data mining and machine learning. DICE focuses […]

The wider adoption of fuel cells has been hindered by durability and reliability issues. This research alliance (consisting of Ballard and SFU) has made significant recent advances on developing novel diagnostics techniques to detect the inception of hydrogen leak faults in fuel cells. We aim to continue to build on these advances through this grant. […]
