As a high-value crop, apples are intensively managed with much of this management being associated with yield estimates. Currently, estimates are done manually by experience farmers and by Scotian Gold experts. Unfortunately, this results in costly estimates that vary in their quality from farm to farm and between apple varieties. A system that can provide […]

Fast development of more powerful and smaller mobile electronics suggested the need for development of sustainable energy resources as well as innovative sensor systems with improved accuracy and reduced power consumption. Moreover, utilizing appropriate sustainable energy resources would be beneficial for environmental protection. Such demands resulted in a great interest toward development of the triboelectric […]

There currently are no approved treatments for COVID-19, as global case counts increase daily. High infectivity and long time-to-recovery for COVID-19 cases is straining health-care systems globally. There is an urgent need to discover therapeutics that treat patients and improve clinical outcomes. Research and Development timelines associated with vaccines and new chemical entities will not […]

Canaliser la valeur des matières abondantes gaspillées et les recycler afin d’obtenir une meilleure qualité de l’air et un chauffage plus abordable pour tous les citoyens.

This research project will enable Krate Distributed Information Systems Inc. (Krate) to provide two software as a service (SaaS) cloud products that will integrate with the distributed computer platform of fellow startup Distributed Compute Labs (DCL) to aid COVID-19 researchers. DCL’s distributed computer is in use by scientists and researchers across Canada (this company’s product […]

Bien que des systèmes de monitoring des patients existent déjà, leur accessibilité est souvent limitée en milieu hospitalier, réservé aux soins aigus. De plus, ils sont de nature particulièrement encombrante de par le nombre d’électrodes, capteurs et fils qui les compose. Un système de monitoring (‘wearables’) plus léger, plus accessible, et pas cher intégré aux […]

She will research problems and issues faced by cannabis producers in regards to the extraction and purification techniques. In the lab, she […]

Proposed Research: Existing recommender systems, even though very effective (like Amazon, Netflix, Youtube etc) do not take into consideration any contextual information, such as time and place. In recent times, context-aware recommender systems have attracted a lot of research and industrial attention. In this project, we aim to address the unsolved challenges that comes with […]

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, tech industry is racing to develop apps as well as wearable devices to help people to trace contacts, to self-assess, and to self-monitor the development of COVID-19 cases. However, these apps and devices work independently of each other, which leave it to users to connect pieces of information to […]

Despite enormous advances in technology, digital interfaces continue to rely on text and image based communication, demonstrating a lack of support for full-body sensory engagement, and downplaying the body’s role in communication and experience. This dependence on visual modes of input and output relies heavily on an individual’s attention, presenting problems for people performing tasks […]

Covid 19 has deeply disrupted supply chains. Companies face profoundly changing consumer demand, the elimination of entire subsectors of industries due to forced closures, or individual suppliers due to bankruptcy or temporary plant closures due to COVID19 outbreaks. In this environment, continued operations and continued profitability depends on company’s ability to obtain real time information […]

Tidal marshes are incredibly important bot ecologically and economically. While they provide many natural resources, they also provide flood protection and water filtration. However, many marshes are recessing into unvegetated mudflats. My project aims to find out if and how much goose herbivory contributes to this problem and compare the effects of Canada Geese and […]
