Neuraura Biotech Inc., (“Neuraura”) is a seed stage Calgary-based company focused on the field of neuroscience / neurotech, formed as a spin-out of the University of Calgary in 2017. Neuraura is commercializing its technology for a range of research and clinical applications. This project will build on initial pilot projects with contract research organizations and […]

In quantum key distribution (QKD), the twin-field has been proposed as a means to overcome the linear key rate bound, and hence the key generation rate, as well as to enable repeaterless QKD transmission. Despite significant progress in TF-QKD and its variations in recent times, the key rates are still significantly low compared to practical […]

This project focusses on the modernization of energy system modelling with considerations for greater levels of sustainable energy and carbon-neutral footprints.

The Canadian agricultural sector is facing a wide range of challenges that include depleting natural resources (e.g., water), environmental pollution (e.g., fertilizers), and climate change. Precision agriculture is a method of farming that uses technologies to monitor soil and crop status and support timely and variable-rate farming practices. It is thus a promising approach to […]

The energy sector accounts for 75% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By adopting a low-carbon or clean fuel alternative, we can reduce GHG emissions to a great extent. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have been identified as a major opportunity to reduce GHG emissions compared to fossil fuels, yet the distribution of hydrogen remains a challenge […]

Heat exchangers, used in building heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to transfer heat from hot to cold fluids, are designed to operate under ideal conditions. However, in practice operating conditions may vary with ambient temperature or humidity. HVAC system efficiency can be improved significantly if fluid flow rates are adjusted in response to […]

The main objective of this project is to design, develop, and demonstrate Canada’s very first non-parasitic EV (NPEV) fast charging station for e-transportation based on hydrogen fuel cell as the main source of power. The TerraVis® Energy system will be a unique solution capable of providing true 100% green electricity without impinging on the energy […]

Compass Minerals’ Goderich salt mine is the largest underground salt mine in the world. The mine is located 1,800 feet under Lake Huron, Ontario, producing rock salt for winter deicing and for making plastics, detergents, disinfectants and other important products. Fresh water is withdrawn from the municipal water supplies and used for the surface and […]

The scope of this project is to model and analyze inertial filters used by combustion engines to facilitate exhaust gas recirculation acting as coarse filtration units. This would help to reduce environmental pollution caused by heavy duty diesel engines. By using Finite Element Analysis model to investigate, the design will incorporate the best ratio among […]

Research how the supply chain for Class I Medical Devices works, including distributor relations, especially for small companies with a narrow product line, and prospect the Medical Device market focusing on Class I and Class II Medical devices companies willing to file an MDEL application. By the end of the project, DECAP would have selected […]

SMS messaging is a new digital marketing channel that is untapped. Very few companies are using this channel. One would only have to look at his/her mobile phone and one would notice very few SMS text messages that are advertisements. Coupled with AI chatbot technology, SMS messaging could be a very profitable channel to bring […]

This project will focus on the design, fabrication and testing of an annular array-based histotripsy transducer that will improve the combined ultrasound imaging and therapy endoscopic device currently in development at Daxsonics. Histotripsy is a method of focusing high intensity ultrasound waves to liquify tissue and is a promising new method of accurately removing tumors […]
