The Summer Internship for 2024 will focus on having two interns continue to enhance and roll out e-learning platforms that focus on Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship fundamentals in Indigenous communities. Specifically, two interns will first be trained in project management, event planning, customer service, financial literacy and technology certification programs that will allow them to […]

Inspired by how birds fly, Shearwater Aerospace applies AI technology to make drones fly faster and stay in the air much longer. Their autonomous operating system, Smart Flight, enables scalable, adaptive and resilient drone operations by coordinating drones and generating dynamic flight routes that leverage wind energy. This enables drones to fly 25% faster in […]

Spending time in natural environments and nature-based programming is associated with significant health benefits. These outcomes are particularly important for young people, whose mental health and wellbeing continues to be a priority for healthcare. Recent studies show gaps exist in access to, and provision of, these nature-based opportunities. There is a need for further research […]

Acoustic telemetry is a rapidly expanding technology to quantify the movement and behavior of aquatic animals; key for developing effective management for aquatic ecosystems. Acoustic telemetry uses transmitters affixed to aquatic animals that are detected by receivers placed in aquatic ecosystems. An important problem that limits telemetry is the assumption that the detected transmitter represents […]

If you have an operation in your abdominal cavity (eg., C-section, hernia repair, appendectomy, gall bladder removal and many more procedures) your chances of having to go back to hospital and be re-operated due to intestinal occlusion, pain etc is 4%. Because these operations make up 5 of the 10 most common surgeries, this 4% […]

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have proven to be extremely effective at generating useful responses to a wide variety of user’s questions. However, they often struggle to generate meaningful and accurate responses to questions that are highly specialized, context-dependent, and requiring long-term attention. The goal of this project is to apply LLMs to accelerate […]

The study of toxicity is to investigate the adverse effects of chemical and physical agents on living organisms and biological systems, and it is an important topic in the health and environmental sciences. In recent years, Alberta researchers has made great progress and contribution towards developing an innovative toxicity profiling program, and tremendous data sets […]

The rapid recent rise in the use of machine learning (ML) tools in business and everyday life has introduced both opportunities and new challenges. While powerful, large-scale ML models come with massive energy demands, as well as output that is hard to predict or interpret. This project will focus on the application of tensor networks […]
