The Smart Vertical Farming project will utilize smart sensor technologies and advanced computing to optimize indoor growing conditions for plants. Researchers will monitor inputs such as fertilizer levels, soil conditions, lighting, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels in real-time and make correlations to the plant growth using cameras to measure foliage density, colour and health. Advanced […]

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Due to its vast usability in different industries, such as gaming, real estate, and art, many professionals believe it will be the future of trading. However, like any other new technology, it has issues […]

Empathy is important to therapeutic relationships and patient-centred care where patients’ preferences and needs are met. We have developed a web browser app called In Your Shoes (IYS) that runs on any browser and has potential to provide empathy training experiences in any situation requiring perceptual understanding of what others are thinking and feeling. The […]

Chromatography is the workhorse in biologics manufacturing processes, where its performance significantly contributes to the quality outcomes of the batch, and therefore must be carefully controlled. Process modeling and simulation is the best way to provide control to the process. This proposal aims to develop a hybrid chromatography modeling approach, utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning method, […]

Accessibility and availability are major factors of an effective health care system. Though Canadians have free access to medically necessary services, there are accessibility issues at primary care clinics such as long wait times, language barriers for new immigrants, lack of proper information about clinics and doctors, and so on. Waiting for a primary healthcare […]

Climate change, extreme weather events, and irregular rainfall patterns have made it inevitable to supplement irrigation needs in rainfed regions such as Prince Edward Island (PEI). This study aims to develop variable rate irrigation (VRI) system to supplement crop water requirements on a need basis for crops in PEI. This project will develop, implement, and […]

As Canada’s economy and population continue to rise, primarily due to substantial immigration, there is an urgent need for new infrastructure, in particular, in remote regions of Canada. This can be achieved through advanced technologies to improve productivity of the Canadian construction industry while reducing the environmental impact of construction. This project proposes the Self-Deployable […]

Infrastructure facilities in Canada and many other places worldwide continuously deteriorate. Most structures either reached or exceeded their design service life. Bridges, buildings, roads, and other facilities deteriorate over time. To ensure the safety of these structures, visual inspections are routinely carried out by trained engineers. However, these visual inspections have some critical disadvantages, such […]

Due to modification ease, cost, and time-saving benefits, computational-based methods through the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software programs is the main approach besides physical testing (accelerated durability laboratory test, in-service drive tests) for evaluating the life of welded structures in several industries. Based on guaranteed functionality, integrity, and life cycle robustness requirements in […]
