Grants and Contributions

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm.

The project aims to optimize hydrocarbon feedstock conversion into hydrogen and solid carbon through advanced pyrolysis process control, utilizing real-time monitoring and multi-zone reactors for precise temperature management.

As part of the international consortium project [AI4PE], this project will focus on the development of an ultrasonic method and algorithms based on artificial intelligence for nondestructive evaluation of electrofusion joints in construction of gas and water polyethylene pipelines, resulting in the design of a prototype device for practical use in field condition.

This project focuses on expanding the social media presence and increasing engagement with potential customers & influencers. The project will help us strengthen our brand visibility, generate awareness about our at-home hormone testing kits, and connect with a broader audience across various platforms.

International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project - Voltai is a clean energy company that harvest wave energy onboard marine vessels. They plan co-innovation as a mechanism to increase their speed to market, reduce barriers to commercialization and reach a larger market.

Altheda is working to develop a novel, patent protected natural product for brain health, formulated with locally sourced marine ingredients. The research we are undertaking is to evaluate and identify compounds for an improved formulation of an imported ingredient, developed as a co-product from marine waste.

The firm's main goal is to reduce GHG emissions by optimizing energy usage in buildings and enhancing the integration Virtual Power Plants (VPP). The focus of this software is the development of the VPP software platform which will enable buildings to reduce peak energy loads through Automated Demand Response (ADR) technology. This in turn allows buildings to participate in DR programs to help stabilize the grid and minimize peak-time energy consumption. This project will focus on the development and testing of innovative AI/ML algorithm to monitor and manage building energy environments. These algorithms will be tested within a modern lab environment at NAIT in preparation for commercialization.

Recently, revolutionary progress has been made on large language models (LLMs) such as the GPT/Llama series, among others. Since the models provide unprecedented capabilities in representing and accessing knowledge, they have started to be used in scientific discovery/design, a new research trend that is still at its infant stage but will have a transformative impact.

An essential component that is seriously understudied is reasoning for intelligent design. Reasoning is one of the most basic components of intelligence, which draws conclusions from existing knowledge. Without a solid reasoning ability, the progress that can be achieved for AI for design is seriously limited.

The project aims to develop novel LLMs with enhanced reasoning. In a feasible setup, the project focuses on material discovery. The team targets two key objectives: (i) Developing novel reasoning models to effectively narrow down the search space of material design. (ii) Researching better graph networks to represent materials and building LLM-based agents to find material design solutions.
