Canada’s education system is facing mounting challenges. Educators are reporting high levels of stress and burnout, largely due to administrative burdens that take time away from teaching. Simultaneously, students—particularly in STEM subjects—are struggling to keep pace in a system that often lacks the capacity to provide individualized support. These issues are especially pronounced in under-resourced […]

The objective of the proposal is to enable high-reliability free-space quantum communication in turbulence environments. Free-space optical and quantum communications face a critical hurdle of atmospheric turbulence induced distortions in propagating optical beams. This degrades signal purity in quantum key distribution (QKD) and long-distance optical transmission. Our vision for this project is to establish a […]

Craft breweries depend heavily on their brewmasters to forecast demand and plan production, which distracts them from their core focus: brewing good quality beer. It also puts significant pressure on breweries because if the brewmaster suddenly becomes unavailable, they would be incapable of effectively completing these tasks. Forecasting and production planning become increasingly difficult as […]

Concussions pose a critical health risk in sports and other high-impact environments, yet timely and accurate diagnosis remains a challenge. Existing tools are expensive, non-portable, and impractical for field use, leading to delayed or missed diagnoses and increased long-term health risks. Concusono is revolutionizing concussion detection with a novel AI-driven portable ultrasound device that provides […]

Mector is a user-friendly communication system designed to support seniors with dementia, helping them live independently at home while providing peace of mind to their family caregivers. Dementia often poses significant daily challenges, leaving family members feeling stressed and concerned about their loved one’s safety and well-being, especially when they are alone. Mector addresses these […]

This project aims to develop an innovative and novel cybersecurity solution tailored for Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), focusing on smart risk assessment and automated network segmentation. Many SMEs lack full visibility into their IT infrastructure, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats. This project will study the challenges and needs of SMEs across different […]

SenseOn-Pro is a small wearable fingertip device that uses photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor data combined with advanced algorithms to measure many different health markers and events simultaneously. It enables non-invasive, continuous monitoring of multiple chronic health conditions. The device allows the assessment of blood glucose without the need for blood pricking, which is an important component […]

The beef cattle industry faces significant challenges in cattle weight monitoring, particularly in free-range systems where traditional methods are labor-intensive, inaccurate, or infrequent. This results in delayed growth, increased feeding costs, and a larger environmental footprint, requiring the development of innovative and sustainable technologies, as well as collaborative efforts. To address this, we propose an […]

Le projet propose une approche innovante d’instrumentation et de suivi des performances des ventilateurs industriels dédié à un banc de test selon la norme AMCA (Air Movement and Control Association). Dans le cadre du programme Lab2Market, cette initiative intègre des systèmes avancés de mesure et d’acquisition de données, permettant une surveillance en temps réel de […]

In light of the recent concerning growth of cyberattacks in pace, scale, and sophistication empowered by contemporary Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques with multiple complex hacking and penetration tools, Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) suffer continuous and serious technical, financial, and societal hits as severe damages of these attacks. This surge in cyberattacks boosted by AI […]

L’industrie minière canadienne joue un rôle clé dans l’économie nationale, représentant 5 % du PIB et employant directement plus de 400 000 personnes. Cependant, les arrêts non planifiés des broyeurs SAG Mill entraînent des pertes économiques considérables, atteignant plusieurs milliers de dollars par heure. Ce projet vise à répondre à ce défi en développant une […]

The primary objective of this research is to measure error correction schemes in quantum computing and their impact on the functional size of quantum software. By analyzing various Quantum Error Correction (QEC) methods, the research aims to optimize quantum software measurement and development. Additionally, a key goal is to define specifications for an automated tool […]
