Swimming Canada is currently working to catch up to rival nations in the areas of data acquisition from race video. To gain a significant competitive intelligence advantage over other nations, Swimming Canada needs a mechanism to gather all necessary analytics quickly, accurately, and efficiently for all athletes in a pool. Recent advances in visual machine […]

Our project involves the use of robotic arms with six movable joints. Utilizing Inverse Kinematics, we will program the arm to figure out how to position each joint to reach specific points, offering flexibility in handling tasks. Through motion planning, we will design paths that the arm can follow to move from one point to […]

The project aims to improve the matching process in health research projects by leveraging machine learning and textual interpretation. It focuses on accurately connecting research projects, community organizations, and participants. The project addresses challenges such as diversity and inclusion by interpreting metrics, generating synthetic participant profiles, and utilizing NLP techniques for label association. By creating […]

This project will help will bring forward new methods for how to bring personalized medicine to more patients in Quebec and Canada. Hopefully, the ideas put forward in this project will allow pharmaceutical companies, as well as the consulting firms that help them, to achieve reimbursed by the government. Personalized medicine will only grow in […]

The ongoing advancements in electronic equipment towards intelligence, portability, and wearability have increased demand for lightweight, flexible, and mechanically robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. There are textile-based EMI shields in the market; however, they are mostly reflection-based shields rather than absorption-based, which results in secondary pollution. As such, this research project is an initiative […]

A coherent microwave source is a crucial component in various applications operating within the RF frequency band, including telecommunications, sensing and medical imaging. It provides a stable reference signal, transmits information, and drives other RF components. Recent research by the Hu Group has developed a new method for generating highly coherent microwave emissions, which holds […]

The spine is an complex system of joints requiring refined motor control strategies to coordinate movement between the lower and upper limbs. Back injuries occur due to poor spine control during sudden/unexpected spine loading. The golf swing is unique to each individual, repetitive, and involves multiple major joints during performance, making the golf swing an […]

Lors de mon premier projet de recherche pour le doctorat, j’ai conduit des entrevues portant sur le stress et la douleur de personnes affectées de douleur lombaire chronique. Lors de ces entrevues, nous avons observé que plusieurs participants avec des niveaux similaires de douleur semblaient avoir de grandes variations dans leur description de la souffrance […]

A food crisis currently confronts many Indigenous communities across northern Canada, including those in the Thompson region of the Manitoba Me´tis Federation (MMF). Efforts have shifted from past reliance on technology-centred solutions to those that are grounded in Indigenous traditions, culture, and language. However, they have yet to be documented adequately much less acted upon […]

Langara College is collaborating with Jazz Pharmaceuticals to develop an understanding of how cannabidiol (CBD) binds to targets and induces physiological changes in normal dopaminergic neurons compared to those modified to replicate Parkinson’s Disease (PD). We are submitting an NSERC CCI ARD proposal to obtain $120,000 for this project. The industrial partner has pledged to […]

The Canadian iron industry will benefit from increasingly streamlined data to support operational decisions, particularly as their steelmaking clientele is transitioning toward carbon-neutral steel production. The iron ore required for carbon-neutral steelmaking is especially high grade, in accordance with the DRI-EAF steelmaking route. Key operational decisions include the formation and depletion of stockpiles for different […]

Metabolomics is the study of the complete set of small molecules in the human body. Analyzing metabolomic and biometric data is critical in order to detect, predict, and simulate changes in the health conditions of a patient, providing the opportunity for preventive and personalized medicine. This is generally done using machine learning, but it is […]
