The main goal of this project is to develop data-driven approaches to reduce energy consumption and cost when operating commercial building’s cooling systems. Indeed, according to recent studies the building sector is one of the largest energy-consuming entities (almost 40% of global energy consumption) and this consumption is predicted to increase by 50% by 2050. […]

Cancer will affect 2 in every 5 Canadians in their lifetime, with just over 25% representing new breast cancer diagnoses in women. Despite significant progress in the treatment of the most common cancer in women, resistance to chemotherapeutic agents remains a consistent obstacle in terms of the successful treatment of many types of breast cancers. […]

Land Trust Organizations acquire and protect private land for conservation purposes. They have become the fastest growing tool for biodiversity conservation of private land in Canada. Despite their growth and the recognized importance of private protected areas; there is little information about them. This research aims to understand who the Land Trust Organizations are (e.g. […]

OERA use hydroacoustic echosounder surveys to evaluate the impact on marine life of tidal turbines in the Bay of Fundy. OERA use Echoview software to read in the raw sensor data (e.g. voltages) and convert it to a visual representation. Echoview contains some algorithms to detect the bottom of the ocean. However, the Fundy data […]

Understanding how brain processes information is the one of the most intriguing questions that modern neuroscience faces. This project is aimed to characterize how the lateral hypothalamus process information to downstream brain targets to guide proper behavioral responses. This brain area is well-known to regulate key aspects of the behavior. But how does it process […]

Globally, industries are seeking to develop new products and services from the large-scale data sets they hold. As these systems move from prototypes into fully operational 24/7/265 commercial solutions additional services must be provided to detect and address system faults and failure as they arise. Within classical engineering plants, e.g., those of the telecommunications, petrochemical, […]

At Emergent BioSolutions our vision is to “Protect and Enhance Life”. The Antibody Therapeutics Business Unit focuses on applying immunotherapies to prevent and treat human infectious diseases. This includes finding effective strategies to meet existing and emerging threats to public health and intentional biothreats. As part of these efforts the Lead Generation Program was created […]

L’objet de cette recherche est de mieux comprendre l’utilité des expériences virtuelles, ici la réalité augmentée et la visualisation 3D, dans le cadre de la promotion de produits industriels personnalisables. En effet, l’utilisation de ces outils par les entreprises offrent de nombreux avantages, y compris dans le cadre de la personnalisation de masse, tendance essentielle […]

There is a growing body of international research demonstrating that the economic contribution copyright based industries is becoming increasingly important. Specifically, there is a growing need in the Canadian music and music-use related industry to analyze the copyright process applied towards different uses of music in Canada. The objective of the proposed “Reference Guide” is […]

Artificial Intelligence techniques have been widely applied to solve real-world challenges, from autonomous driving cars, to detecting diseases. With the popularity of 5G wireless network, more and more AI systems are being developed to provide convenient services to everyone. It is important to ensure the reliability and quality of AI systems from every phase in […]

Le présent programme de R-D a pour objectif de développer des solutions novatrices – innovations technologiques et sociales – au sein d’un environnement interdisciplinaire (sciences urbaines) et plurisectoriel (université – entreprises – villes). Les projets se réaliseront dans le cadre d’un nouveau programme de maitrise sur mesure en intelligence urbaine chapeauté par la Faculté des […]

The general objective of this research is to understand the geology of the Clearwater Formation in a region of Alberta where new oil and gas reserves have been discovered. The research will include detailed mapping throughout the region to understand where the best oil and gas resources are. This area is especially interesting as enhance […]
