The current COVID-19 pandemic has posed many challenges to healthcare professionals as they deal with managing the primary disease and it many complications. The proposal aims to develop, test, and validate an assay to detect quickly immune checkpoint targets in T cells in peripheral blood with high specificity and sensitivity using a diagnostic device, CytoFind, […]

Electric buses have achieved first demonstration deployments in Canada. As bus fleet operators ramp up their implementation over the next 5-10 years, with many planning to fully convert their fleets to electric, charging capacity will become a challenge. This project will build up tools to examine the efficacy of energy storage located on the power […]

A frequently occurring problem in face verification in Jumio is that stock face detectors find multiple faces in the input image. The decision which one should be selected for the face verification step is not clear. Common reasons being, users submitting a single image with both selfie and document id.

COVID-19 is a highly infectious respiratory disease that is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. RT-qPCR is a nucleic acid testing that is widely adapted to confirm the infection. Point-of-care IgM/IgG testing strips have been adopted in some countries for screening and surveillance. However, these antibody testing strips are restricted to a positive/negative testing result. Because […]

Correction of misaligned teeth requires orthodontic braces treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been routinely used in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning in recent years. Its three-dimensional capability to view images has a significant advantage over traditional 2D X-rays. However, CBCT typically delivers more radiation than conventional dental 2D X-rays. As children and adolescents are […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two master’s students who would help advance the methods for modelling energy-climate policies, a field in which EMRG in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research units in the country and in which Navius Research […]

The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, which started in Dec. 2019, has so far not been contained due to unpreparedness and unsuccessful development of antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2. In response to this pandemic, we propose strategies for the development of novel antiviral agents against a number of known viral targets using in-silico modeling and laboratory testing to rapidly […]

Checkingin is a publicly available app through which users report their current emotion, energy level, and the context descriptive of this state. The present project seeks to analyze if such self-initiated technology is capable of detecting emotional shifts in well-being under times of great stress, as on-going in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, a comparison […]
