A new curing light, PinkWave (Apex, Racine, WI) was introduced last year (https://vistaapex.com/pinkwave). This light is unique because it has four distinct wavelength bands that deliver red (625 – 750 nm), infrared (800 – 900 nm), blue, and violet light. The manufacturer also claims that this ‘quad-wave’ light can reduce polymerization shrinkage stress.[13] Initial reports […]

The demand for eCommerce and online orders has risen rapidly in recent years, this drives the need for highly efficient and automated item sortation systems. Kindred AI is a technology company with the objective to bring artificial intelligence and robotic technologies into the workforce of eCommerce, parcel and order fulfillment. As a part of the […]

The proposed research aims at learning better representations for multivariate time series (MTS) data, which can be applied to various important real-life applications such as weather, traffic, and electricity forecasting. Better forecasting accuracies for these tasks could help with efficient risk aversion and decision making, and save costs for decision makers. The proposed research will […]

The most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting 2-3% of the general population. If left untreated, arrhythmias can lead to heart failure, stroke, or sudden death. A better understanding of AF mechanisms is needed to improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis and create new therapeutic tools. We have developed a zebrafish model […]

SFU will be collaborating with partners of a supercluster on the Continuous Connected Patient Care (CCPC) Platform, which is being developed to provide safe, responsive, and high-quality outpatient care at home. We will be working directly with our partner, Medtronic Canada. SFU’s will focus on the research, development, and testing of medical grade wearable sensor […]

A nuclear reactor to a nuclear power plant is the same as the heart of a living human. The safe operation of the plant is directly related to the health of the reactor. Just as in the human heart, where blood circulates to deliver oxygen to the other parts of the body, coolant passes through […]

Biomedical research, particularly preclinical research, is a complex and challenging field with a high failure rate of 98% in pharmaceutical research investment. Extracting relevant information from preclinical research papers involves synthesizing information from various sources, which is a demanding task that requires domain-specific knowledge. Natural language processing, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), has demonstrated tremendous […]

This important research project seeks to a) engage graduate students from University of Toronto in an immersive entrepreneurial experience in Taiwan in the fields of advanced computing, clean technologies and scientific innovation and b) measure the development of international entrepreneurial competencies impacted by this experiential learning. The student will complete an internship with Himax. He […]

This project aims to develop enhancement techniques for high-resolution imaging on smartphone devices. The project will focus on a specific imaging modality where a pair of images are captured in succession: a high-resolution image (108 mega-pixel) and a corresponding low-resolution image (12 mega-pixel). Due to the small pixel size in the sensor used to capture […]

De plus en plus de technologies existent pour capturer un modèle 3D d’une infrastructure existante : drones, robots, caméras spécialisées, etc. Toutefois, les données ainsi produites ne sont pas “intelligentes”, en ce sens qu’elles ne contiennent aucune information sur ce qu’elles représentent, pas plus que les pixels d’une image n’indiquent ce qu’ils représentent. Ce projet […]

Due to increasing demands for novel services, advancements in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are seen as an effective solution to complement terrestrial networks (TNs) in under-served areas. However, the high mobility of new users, e.g., autonomous cars, in addition to that of NTN platforms, will cause extreme signal fluctuations. The latter will lead to radio link […]
