The aim is to improve a software tool for reliability-based quantitative analysis of dents (QuAD) in pipelines developed by Enbridge. QuAD is a tool used to predict the failure for dented pipelines, so that the deteriorated pipeline segments can be reliably identified for excavation to avoid failure. The critical concern with the current QuAD tool […]

Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors are more and more being used in switching power devices and the GaN transistors are the promising candidate of next-generation power devices that can substitute Silicon (Si) devices. However, this young technology suffers from reliability difficulties. The aim of this research work is to contribute to the understanding of the properties […]

INEO is a technology company that has developed patented technology to give the the retailers cutting-edge loss prevention solutions combined with digital signage and data analytics. My role will be to build out the data analytics aspect by identifying the data strategies which are likely to lead to success, developing a plan to implement them […]

Next generation plant breeding requires bringing together many different types and sources of information about different plant varieties, including their genetic information together with how well they grow in different environments. The best ways to organize and integrate these sources of information within a plant breeding program is not well known. In this project, we […]

The proposed research program aims to better enable the provision of digitally based self-management support programs for Canadians who live with chronic conditions that were further complicated by COVID-19. In order to accomplish this objective, this study will evaluate existing self-management programs for adults with chronic conditions and curate condition specific evidence-based content that will […]

Borealis AI has access to a huge amount of financial data related to the stock market and is interested in leveraging recent developments in machine learning to better understand this data. Some potential questions emerging from this data are: (1) Given the closing price of a stock in the recent months, can we predict the […]

Increasing visibility into asset inventory and gaining situational awareness in industrial control system (ICS) environment are of critical importance for electric utilities to effectively manage cybersecurity risks. In this project, we aim to investigate the solution design for electric utilities to automate asset management in an ICS, addressing the unique challenges such as device heterogeneity […]

This project aims to evaluate a novel device of my own design and making which is able to communicate information about a remote robot’s state to a human operator via vibrating feedback. For example, hazards such as loose terrain or a steep incline may not be well reported to the operator via a camera feed. […]

OneCup provides cattle management solutions to the livestock industry. Our AI is called BETSY – Bovine Expert Tracking and Surveillance. Using artificial intelligence, we put a rancher’s skillset into a device the size of a small book. With several types of cameras, BETSY can ID and track cattle activity 24×7. For example, she can track […]

Ocean industries hold many opportunities for employment for the future Nova Scotian work force. However, Nova Scotian junior high students have a poor understanding and a lack of interest in Nova Scotia’s available ocean careers. Ocean career education through online interactive games could increase Nova Scotian students’ interest in ocean careers. By having students try […]

Explosive eruptions on the sun’s surface eject charged particles that may travel the earth path. They cause disturbances in earth’s magnetic field and as a result, a low frequency current is induced in electrical power system transmission lines. The induced current increases operating temperature of power transformers. This overheating reduces lifetime of the transformer and […]
