This project aims to make mass timber buildings, a sustainable alternative to concrete and steel, even more reliable. While mass timber is great for the environment, we don’t fully understand how it handles moisture over time, which can affect its durability. Our project will tackle this by using advanced sensors to monitor a new mass […]

Sturgeon Bank is a Wildlife Management Area within the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, and west of the City of Richmond, British Columbia. Sturgeon Bank is primarily comprised of intertidal marsh, mud flats and open water, and provides several ecological and coastal risk mitigation benefits. However, monitoring indicates that Sturgeon Bank’s salt […]

Faulting might be affecting the flow of injected CO2 into the subsurface at the Aquistore Carbon Capture and Storage facility in southeastern Saskatchewan. 3D seismic data indicate that faulting affects the Deadwood Sandstone injection target approximately 100 m to the west of the injection well. The seismic data cannot however image all the structural complexity […]

Knowledge graphs are a means of structuring semantic knowledge that can be used to increase AI reliability. In our applications, Large Language Model (LLM) chatbots are not on their own able to meet 100% accuracy goals for our scenarios, and we use the knowledge graph to reflectively validate answers before presenting them to the user. […]

Ce projet de recherche propose une analyse de la trajectoire de Transition en Commun (TeC), une alliance intersectorielle montréalaise qui concentre ses efforts à la transition socio-écologique. En tant qu’initiative urbaine qui mobilise un large éventail d’acteurs TeC constitue un espace privilégié pour mieux comprendre les modalités d’émergence, de structuration et d’engagement des collectifs dans […]

This project will test how well different DNA-based therapies work in the brain and body using a mouse model. Mice will receive either a high or low dose of the therapy, and their response will be tracked through imaging, blood tests, and tissue analysis. The goal is to measure how much of the DNA reaches […]

This project seeks to develop a non-invasive method, which does not require direct wildlife capture and handling, for monitoring the endangered little brown myotis and a co-occurring species, Yuma myotis, at shared summer maternity roost sites in western North America. A method is urgently needed so that potential species-specific impacts to these two bats from […]

Many patients with mood disorders, which include major depression and bipolar disorder, continue to experience symptoms even after receiving treatment. Traditional research methods have helped improve care but often don’t reflect the realities of clinical practice, which slows progress in applying research to improve services. This project aims to support St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) […]

Juniper Genomics is a forward-thinking company that uses advanced genetic technology to help people going through IVF (in vitro fertilization) make more informed decisions and improve their chances of having a successful pregnancy. While their science is cutting-edge, they currently lack a strong digital presence, especially on social media. This makes it hard for potential […]

In the world of design and manufacturing, there is always a need to supply certain goods (parts, assemblies, materials, etc.) from a manufacturer to a buyer. In most cases, there is a wide variety of procurement options, and choosing the right supply is a complicated process that requires taking multiple factors into account. The optimal […]

Rock slopes and underground excavations are important aspects of mining, civil engineering and energy projects. The shear strength, or resistance to sliding, of rock joints (e.g., cracks and fractures) is the dominant component for stability of underground excavations and large rock slopes. Laboratory testing of these features is challenging, expensive and difficult to interpret. Emerging […]
