With the escalating demand for sustainability and climate monitoring, LoRa mesh networks have proven instrumental in large-scale environmental monitoring. Serving as the final link in a mesh network, gateways play a critical role by gathering measurements from each sensor and transmitting them to the internet. The performance of gateways is crucial to the efficacy of […]

In metastasis, cancer cells break away from where they were first formed (primary cancer) and travel to other parts of the body and form new (metastatic) tumours, which ultimately results in poor outcomes for cancer patients. Although surgical excision of metastatic tumour is often required, the act of surgery itself elicits profound suppression of immune […]

We live in an age of distraction and mind-wandering, which has been broadly linked to greater levels of unhappiness, suggesting that many of us might benefit from mindfulness training that allows us to better control our attention. Interaxon Inc. has developed a potentially breakthrough solution to this problem in a device that measures brain activity […]

Circuit électrique, operated by Hydro-Québec, currently owns most of the public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) in Quebec. Over the next few years, more charging station owners are expected to enter the market. This makes it necessary to anticipate the impact of competition in terms of service quality. This places us in the domain […]

The overall goal is to create the backend of a mobile personal organizer that suggests professional events (conferences, colloquia, workshops, exhibitions) and contacts to establish while attending events, to members. Currently, the target audience are professionals in the biomedical domain. Given the need to feed data and meta-data from heterogeneous sources into the application, the […]

The two major objectives of the umbrella grant are to 1) empower the partner organization to improve their digital capacity and gain insight into their data to support business growth and innovation. 2) Provide students with work-integrated learning experiences that expose the students to advanced data analytical techniques, data mining and machine learning. DICE focuses […]

For human space exploration to be successful, technologies to produce breathable air, drinking water, and fuel are needed to sustain life. Particularly on the Moon, there are a variety of minerals and ore in different regions on the Moon’s surface that can be extracted and chemically processed to produce air, water, and fuel. The objective […]

The wider adoption of fuel cells has been hindered by durability and reliability issues. This research alliance (consisting of Ballard and SFU) has made significant recent advances on developing novel diagnostics techniques to detect the inception of hydrogen leak faults in fuel cells. We aim to continue to build on these advances through this grant. […]

La recherche proposée vise à soutenir l’observation de l’environnement marin dans la région Aviqtuuq autour de Taloyoak, Nunavut, en lien avec l’initiative en cours de développement d’une aire protégée et de conservation autochtone (APCA) incluant un programme d’intendance du territoire Aviqtuuq par la population locale. À partir d’enregistrements acoustiques collectés par trois hydrophones déployés sur […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

General Fusion (GF) is a private company developing a magnetized target fusion scheme to compress a plasma to fusion conditions with a liquid metal liner for the purposes of producing energy. The plasma density is an important parameter that must be measured during a shot to evaluate the performance of the machine. An interferometer is […]
