Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a sensitive form of microscopy that allows researchers to image fundamental properties of matter at the ultimate scale of single atoms or molecules. Recently, the conception of atomically precise manufacturing (APM) techniques permits STMs to fabricate devices atom-by-atom which have properties that cannot be replicated using standard nanoelectronic practices. Similarly, the introduction of radio frequency (RF) manipulation has allowed STMs to explore properties of mater at even smaller length scales. By probing individual atoms or molecules with RF signals in a magnetic field, techniques such as electron spin resonance (ESR) can be realized. While results of APM and ESR have been reported in recent academic journals, never have they been combined to enable a platform for rapid fabrication, characterization, and manipulation of novel atomic structures. The project will conceive and demonstrate novel RF-enabled STM techniques for improved quantum sensing and control of atom-based devices.

This Eureka Clusters UAV-GG project will use novel long-range, large payload unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to carry innovative spectroscopic sensors to monitor greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. It will provide GHG data to project partners to calibrate and improve satellite readings and create a portal to make this important information widely available.

Software development project to create an embedded lending small business marketplace and affiliate marketing partnerships and integrations to drive business loan volumes for the Firm’s community-based lenders in Canada and the US.

To advance precision agriculture by integrating our grower insights into industry leading agricultural sprayers to enable prescriptive spraying plans for targeted applications of farm inputs.

This project proposes create a smart electric vehicle (EV) charger simulation framework. The framework will simulate the interaction of the smart charger with ChargeLab's software, as well as the effects of real-world interacations on the charger. This will provide a framework for load-testing our software, as well as regression testing edge cases of charger firmware.

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

Claudio Aporta, Ph.D., has spent over 20 years of his academic career documenting Inuit traditional knowledge across Inuit Nunangat. Aporta's most significant work is focused on the geographic representation of Inuit environmental knowledge. Through hundreds of interviews, mapping sessions, and trips onto the land/sea/ice, Aporta has recorded Inuit travel routes - trails - across the Arctic. Inuit trails leave little to no permanent marks, yet the same trails have been used for hundreds of years.
The Claudio Aporta fonds consists of approximately 1 metre of textual records, 10-15 maps, 10 photographs, and approximately 300 GB of digital files. The digital files consist of textual documents, digital photographs, datasets, and digital maps.

The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program aims to attract and retain top-tier postdoctoral talent, both nationally and internationally, to develop their leadership potential and to position them for success as research leaders of tomorrow, positively contributing to Canada’s economic, social and research-based growth through a research-intensive career.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• To provide recognition and funding to academic health research trainees;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.
