The proposed research project aims to address the significant natural hazard of large-scale landslides in sensitive clays, which can cause substantial economic loss, environmental disaster, infrastructure damage, and fatalities. The partner organization, WSP, specializes in geotechnical engineering services, including geohazard assessment from landslides and slope failure. This project will explore the applicability of advanced large-deformation […]

For this application, Solace has developed a hybrid inverter topology which incorporates a half-bridge synchronous buck converter into the inverter. The buck converter is a pain point in the topology — to limit the size of magnetic components, it is desirable to operate the buck at relatively high frequency (>300 kHz). However, switching loss in […]

Applied Recognition Corp. (ARC) a Canadian software company, which develops face recognition technology solutions, which are engineered to be both accurate and practical, allowing your organization to upgrade to biometrics simply and inexpensively. ARC relies on high-quality training data sets of human face images to train their machine learning models and ensure the accuracy of […]

The Brodt laboratory engineered and developed a novel IGF-targeting molecule (the IGF-Trap) with otent anti-cancer effects. The objective of this project is to optimize the use of this potential drug in re-clinical cancer models and develop sensitive biomarkers for assessing and predicting its effect. In addition, the effect of this inhibitor on pancreatic cancer growth […]

Dans le cadre du développement d’un nouveau programme de bien-être au travail, un projet d’étude de marché doit être élaborée afin de valider l’intérêt et les besoins spécifiques des organisations ciblées. Ce projet comprend une phase d’analyse qualitative et quantitative, incluant des sondages auprès des employés et des gestionnaires, ainsi que des entretiens approfondis avec […]

The project will develop a revolutionary, conformable hydrogen storage tank solution for fuel cell electric vehicles. The specific objective of this research collaboration is to develop a hydrogen storage medium that is stable at ambient conditions, has a high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity and can be packed into a fuel tank for use in vehicles. […]

The goal of the project is to help the industrial partner with evaluating, customizing and adopting advanced software engineering and quality assurance methods based on the notion of software product line (SPL) engineering practices. The software system considered in this project is an electronic medical record (EMR) system that is used in hundreds of clinics […]

Canadian industries face challenges associated with the shortage of specialized professionals in healthcare, education, information technology, finance, engineering, and skilled trades. This shortage presents a threat to the prosperity and collective wellbeing in Canadian society and highlights the need for strategic workforce training and preparation through innovative partnerships and strategies. As a response to this […]

Social media websites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc.) are widely used by the general public and also by businesses to promote their product and services. Due to the nature of these websites, marketed content by businesses does not always reach their desired target. This can be improved by providing useful information to the businesses, such as […]

S’inscrivant dans la continuité du premier stage, ce projet vise à unifier les langages de description de structures argumentatives GSN et TCL et à adapter la théorie de Dempster-Shafer au langage unifié. Cette théorie est la plus adéquate pour intégrer à une structure argumentative les évaluations de ses noeuds. Notre objectif est d’arriver à déterminer […]

The Town of Drayton Valley is seeking to focus on two main areas including the creation of a multi-faceted Emergency Social Service (ESS) plan and a community re-entry plan; two areas we are struggling with to solve with our knowledge and experience. These plans are being implemented across Alberta, and Canada, to ensure the safety […]

This project aims to develop a high-resolution and high-speed microscope for capturing fast cellular biological interactions and processes. CoVision, a custom microscope instrumentation company, will directly work with the research fellow to develop and build this custom system. This includes designing the commercial grade packaging, sourcing components, and development of the user interface to be […]
