Electric power systems are subject to cyberattacks. In this project, we intend to investigate false data injection attacks (FDIAs) targeting the automatic generation control (AGC) and the economic dispatch (ED) of electric power systems. Such a class of attacks may significantly affect the system frequency stability and result in huge economic loss and even catastrophic […]

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and other psychedelic drugs have been shown to have therapeutic effects, including for the treatment of depression. However, their hallucinogenic effects may represent an undesirable side effect. Non-hallucinogenic derivatives of these drugs represent a promising alternative; one such alternative is 2-bromo-LSD (BetterLife drug TD-0148A), but data on its effectiveness as an […]

Buildings are vulnerable to moderate and powerful earthquakes. In order to keep their functionality during and after the seismic events, structural control systems are the promising candidates to be embedded in the buildings in which they dissipate the energy towards the building and separates the movements between the soil and the infrastructure. One of the […]

SmartIce is hosting an intern to help develop culturally appropriate outreach strategies as part of it’s ongoing mission. This position involves a high degree of responsibility and autonomy, working independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary, Pan-Canada team and invovles working with project staff and partners to plan and coordinate logistics for engagement with a […]

Ladder Spike inc is a new Manufacturing start-up specializing in ladder safety equipment. The company was registered in February,2021, shortly after joining the Genesis Centre’s program called evolution. Through the program Dale Kean became my fist investor and now business partner, along with  finishing the program and securing a spot in the event called Pitch […]

Ananda Devices has developed an innovative technology to produce high-throughput organ-on-chip technology for commercialization in the pharma industry and cosmetic industry. For cost effective and fast commercializing the device, semi automation/automation is required for the high throughput data analysis. Further validation of the automation algorithm is required for data accuracy. So, our aim is to […]

Stainless steel permanent cathodes are widely used in the electrodeposition of copper during its production. Copper is mechanically-stripped from the permanent cathode on a regular basis, after which the cathode is typically visually inspected, water-washed and returned to the production cell. However, offline refurbishment is required to ensure a high quality product (chemical purity, surface […]

The objective of this research partnership is to map Artificial Intelligence (AI) to elementary curriculum and Indigenous ways of knowing using Cortic Technology’s software. We hope to build a theoretical framework and instructional approach for AI education for children at an elementary level. A review of current research will set the context for AI and […]

Design of modern electric power systems in which renewable energy resources are included is a challenging task. This is because these power systems employ a large number of sophisticated power converters and control methods that need to be accurately tuned. The task of tuning and optimizing these converters and their controls is tedious, repetitive, and […]

Missing Middle Housing (MMH) encompasses several moderate density housing types which offer similar features to a single detached home, while reducing costs to the buyer, reducing the environmental footprint and reducing the amount of land used. Although many Municipalities on Vancouver Island are beginning to encourage MMH, there are still relatively few of these homes […]

Quantum computers, that is, computers that exploit quantum mechanical phenomena to process information, have been shown to theoretically perform some computations faster than the best available methods on traditional computers. One widely applicable quantum computing technique is quantum search which offers an improvement to the problem of finding a needle in a digital haystack. Despite […]

Algae-C is a company specialized in algal biomass production. It enables on-site production of algae for a wide variety of sectors (aquaculture, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biofuel). To date, many fuels, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products are extracted from plants. These valuable plant natural products (PNPs) are often produced in low quantities in plants and extraction methods […]
