The Arctic Research Foundation (ARF) is a private, non-profit organization creating a new kind of scientific infrastructure for the Canadian Arctic, through its operation of efficient, cutting-edge research vessels and selfpowered mobile labs. It coordinates and catalyzes scientific, cultural and economic research in the Arctic. It partners with governments, universities and other research institutions that […]

Développement d’un masque actif à pixels actionnables, dans le but de remplacer les masques fixes dans les systèmes de photolithographie utilisé pour la fabrication de semi-conducteur. Pour cette première phase, la partie active du dispositif sera micro-fabriqué par des technologies de système micro-electro-mécanique (MEMS).

Canada has made an extensive effort to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite all effort, however, some populations were hit harder by the COVID-19. Visible minorities, who often include immigrants and refugees have been disproportionately exposed to and affected by the COVID-19. Especially, the visible minority essential workers who are crucial for the country’s infrastructure including […]

Smart device applications show great promise as a means to improve the mental health and well-being of users. CheckingIn is one such app. CheckingIn monitors self-reported daily mood states of users and suggests exercises to improve user’s mental health and well-being. Although the app’s well-being programs are scientifically informed, there is a general lack of […]

This research is intended to investigate the pathways to accelerate the diffusion of demand-side low-carbon innovations and socio-technical energy system change. Specifically, we want to map out whether innovations are pertinent, which can reinforce each other, which policies, stakeholders and legitimacy factors help them and their interactions. The variables that the innovations were coded for […]

Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, which leads to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves over time. It is estimated that around 10% of Canadians have diabetes, which is 1 of the 10 leading causes of death globally. While diabetes is highly prevalent, […]

The research project aims at integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into a user interface (UI) in the context of engineering design. Based on this context, the AI-aided UI of the CAD software will actively return hints and advice on missing parts of the product and/or what will be the next steps of the design. Such a […]

Therapeutic development is a long and laborious process, very expensive and risky. The high costs are linked to the high risk of failure and there is therefore a need to develop new tools and new approaches that can accelerate and de-risk these processes. The development of digital technologies brings enormous potential to traditional therapeutic development […]

This research work will establish a systematic workflow for analyzing transient equilibrium foamy oil phase behavior by coupling the m-CCEC tests, depletion rate and presence of water-in-oil emulsion from microscopic viewpoint which are seldom performed for heavy oil. It will provide a strong connection and comparison with previously studies which was conducted in the absence […]

Well-known Canadian montane national parks have undergone a length period of fire suppression activities, which started in the early 20th century. This has resulted in old growth forest stands that are relatively homogeneous in nature, often containing forests that have the same species, age, and structure. In recent years, mountain pine beetle outbreaks have occurred, […]
