Unsupervised machine learning has recently been introduced into the field of quantum many-body physics. A strategy based on generative models has been particularly successful in the data-driven learning of quantum states. In this proposal, we aim to adapt this technology to applications in quantum chemistry. The primary focus of this research will be on the […]

Nanomaterials as carriers are very suitable for the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer treatment. Because nanomaterials as a carrier platform have strong permeability and retention delay in the treatment of tumors, they can passively target tumor cells. Metal organic framework ?MOF ?is a kind of porous material with large pore size and high specific […]

We are working on active compression sleeves for treating edema, which is the swelling of tissues due to the build-up of excess fluids, impacting roughly 40% of individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries. The technology behind this active compression sleeve is air microfluidics and minifluidics. The goal is to deliver a product that increases the […]

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have ultra-high energy density (~2600 Wh kg-1) and have great potential as power sources for electric vehicles and portable electronics. However, they suffer from the problems of low practical ability and poor life span, which limit their wide application. This proposed research is to develop elastomer composites as functional binders for LSBs […]

The electrification of the automobile industry is one of the main paths toward global decarbonization and a promising solution to address oil supply shortages and environmental pollution. However, the EV industry still faces critical challenges such as long charging time, low battery lifetime, and safety considerations, which restrict widespread adoption of EVs. In this project, […]

In last few year, due to bad impression, single used plastics has received huge attention from scientist, environmentalist and attentive people from different part of the world. Since only a fraction of these plastics are recycled or repurposed, due to numerous reasons, municipal and industrial waste contain a large portion as plastics. As Canada is […]

TV Whitespace (TVWS) designates the inactive or unused space between TV channels actively used in UHF and VHF spectrum :470 MHz to 700 MHz. The TVWS band performs best in the most rural service areas. This is due to the characteristics of TVWS, and how it’s shared with powerful analog TV stations Such TV transmitters […]

The motivation for this research comes from an overall need to improve the performance of high voltage module (HVM) and to reduce the size and its material costs while maintaining its efficient performance, with no partial discharge, arc or thermal issues. In particular, stable transient and steady state performances must be achieved for medical X-generators […]

Sterasure Inc. in its current mission to provide biomedical tools to reinvent the clinical decision support, partners with the University of Waterloo to work towards the development of cutting-edge contactless vital sign monitoring systems. The technology studied in this research will allow the advance in the detection of oxygen saturation levels through cost-efficient systems. Although […]

In the first year of the proposed project, we will explore and optimize the application of environmentally friendly solvents for organosilane adhesion promoters that are used in the production of HSS by Canusa-CPS. In the second year, the shelf-life and lifetime of such products will be investigated using accelerated testing procedures. The results of the […]

The process of setting surgical schedules in a modern hospital operating room suite is complicated. Scheduling surgery involves coordinating two separate but inter-related service distribution channels, namely, elective surgery operations and emergency surgery operations. Elective surgical cases are selected from a broad range of diagnostic categories and are scheduled in advance into surgical time that […]

Material Futures Inc. has developed a bioprocess to manufacture coloured pigments using cells, instead of petroleum. The process is carbon neutral, renewable, and has the potential to eliminate water pollution resulting from current dyeing methods. Working with students at the University of Waterloo, Material Futures Inc. will be scaling their bioprocess while exposing students to […]
