The general objective of this MITACS project is to introduce RespirAct (TM) as a unique device that provides a precise, repeatable vasoactive stimulus to extend the capabilities of imaging modalitites such as PET, CT, MRI and ultrasound. In the first project, the development and standardization of the cerebrovascular stress test will provde a means to […]

Ladder Spike inc is a new Manufacturing start-up specializing in ladder safety equipment. The company was registered in February,2021, shortly after joining the Genesis Centre’s program called evolution. Through the program Dale Kean became my fist investor and now business partner, along with  finishing the program and securing a spot in the event called Pitch […]

Le présent projet de recherche vise à outiller et fournir des pistes de solutions concrètes aux entrepreneurs, et plus particulièrement aux fondateurs et gestionnaires de l’entreprise québécoise MOS (9358-3433 Québec inc.), afin de faciliter l’intégration et l’opérationnalisation de la responsabilité et de la durabilité sociale, environnementale et économique à leurs stratégies d’affaires ainsi qu’à leur […]

Algae-C is a company specialized in algal biomass production. It enables on-site production of algae for a wide variety of sectors (aquaculture, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biofuel). To date, many fuels, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products are extracted from plants. These valuable plant natural products (PNPs) are often produced in low quantities in plants and extraction methods […]

In recent years, with the emergence of online social networks and the growing interest in genetics and biological networks, the research community has been tasked with analyzing knowledge extracted from multi-relational datasets. Such analysis, generally known as Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), is concerned with the computer aided discovery of useful knowledge in databases. An […]

The airspace will rapidly change in the next 15 years with increased automation of air traffic control, flight path tracking with strong time constraints and big data exchange between the aircraft and ground control for communication. However, little information is available to understand the impact of this transformation on the pilot’s tasks and how to […]

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 […]
