.Siemens Canada develops land-based gas turbine engines that are used for power generation. These engines burn natural gas and produce combustion pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Reducing emission of these pollutants addition of low carbon fuel, such as hydrogen, to natural gas. However, addition of hydrogen leads to occurrence of combustion instabilities […]

As part of this proposal the intern will be working with DME to develop and examine the viability of data-driven point-of-care system for the assessment of suicide risk. DME is a Canadian start-up company in the business of developing cloud-based point-of-care monitoring systems for the management of psychiatric illnesses. DME has developed algorithms to diagnose […]

CleanBC is British Columbia’s recent climate strategy outlining how the province plans to transition from fossil fuels to a clean and renewable energy system. The plan contains targets that are meant to set a pathway towards a more sustainable future; however, Pembina Institute recently recommended that the government develop a clean energy plan to back […]

The Community Energy Explorer (CEE) is a unique, interactive and visually compelling web-resource to build capacity of citizens, decision-makers, and local government staff on community energy and related land use issues. The current phase lays out a program to roll-out, host, and scale-up use of an enhanced CEE platform to better support community transitions and […]

The adoption and integration of electric buses (eBus) will have positive impacts on the efficiency of transportation services, on energy consumption and related environmental benefits as well as costs, In partnership with CUTRIC OCAD U will engage dynamic Visual Analytics and Design Science to support electric bus (eBus) implementation in Canada, allowing the careful tracking […]

The project revolves around automation in nursery farms and greenhouses. The goal is to deliver planted pots using autonomous unmanned systems. Planted pots will be loaded/unloaded to/from plant carts using a small robot called BigTop, designed and developed at the supporting organization, AIS. Motion planning, control, and navigation algorithms will be developed through this project […]

Sport participants offer a source for community leadership potential that could be more fully and intentionally leveraged for maximum social impact. Currently, leadership development occurring through sport is haphazard and may be a product of chance rather than intent. This research explores elite athletes’ perspectives of leadership competencies developed through sport and aims to gain […]

À plus de 8 millions d’animaux, le chat est l’animal de compagnie favori dans les foyers canadiens. Le diabète de type 2 a une prévalence qui varie de 1 pour 50 à 1 pour 400 chez le chat de compagnie. La glycosurie est une manifestation diagnostique chez le chat diabétique. Actuellement, il n’existe aucun moyen […]

It is expected that a complete deployment of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) onto a transportation network will take a long transition period and, therefore, reliable and accurate modeling of mixed traffic networks that include both conventional vehicles (ConVs) and CAVs is of paramount importance for the success of CAVs concept implementation. This project will […]

The Canadian Arctic is warming at an alarming rate. The coastal community of Pangnirtung, Nunavut has long witnessed and experienced the reality of climate change. Country food is the main resource for Panniqtuumiut all year round and practices related to hunting and fishing are key to family and community well-being. Local organizations and community members […]

Machine learning in large-scale Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems can bring overwhelming demand on the limited resource of IoT devices, e.g., simple cameras and ambient sensors. However, it can substantially benefit from the additional computation and communication resources provided by a new wireless computing framework called Mobile/multiaccess Edge Computing (MEC). In this project, we study machine learning […]

L’industrie laitière et de bétail implique la distribution de semences génétiquement optimales et de qualité. La cryoconservation du sperme bovin est la façon la plus efficace de fournir ces semences aux producteurs à travers le monde. L’inconvénient est que ce processus de congélation, à de très basses températures, induit une diminution de la fertilité des […]
