The goal of this project is to develop alginate-based bioinks tailored for specific applications in bioprinting of complex 3D tissue models . These efforts will represent a continuation of recent work carried out by this team.

To this end, we will develop novel microfluidic chips into which laboratory BBB models can 3D bioprinted, grown, and used to test drug compounds in an environment that mimics key aspects of the human BBB.

Through the Open Data for Development (OD4D) program, Canada supports innovative approaches to help realize the full potential of open data to transform governments, civil society and business, to empower women and girls, and to ensure benefits for citizens in developing countries. OD4D supports a coordinated network of initiatives and institutions around the world whose activities include providing training for civil society and government officials; evaluating the impact of open data; creating regional peer networks; and supporting governments to plan and implement open data policies.

This third phase of OD4D seeks to facilitate the use of data to improve inclusion and gender equality, good governance and economic growth, thus ensuring that open data contributes to achieving the 2030 Agenda. OD4D activities include: (1) exploring how data can drive inclusion, better governance and empowerment, including for women, Indigenous and LGBTQI+ people; (2) supporting research on the impact of data use on development outcomes; (3) enhancing southern perspectives in data governance; and (4) further building OD4D regional hubs’ capacity.

Saskatchewan First Nations Natural Resource Centre of Excellence Mapping Project using the Land Use Planning Tool

Remote sensing is a growing field that can provide valuable data from great distances without direct interaction with the test species.
Photonic sensors enables the direct assessment of the molecular composition of the species under test. In this work, the team will be developing integrated photonic sensors based on miniature ring resonators in two distinct material platforms: silicon-based and III-V semiconductors. The specific goal of the research performed is to develop III-V semiconductor photonic sensors through fabricating high-quality compact rings on-a-chip based on air-bridge waveguide geometry where the semiconductor material si surrounded by the air. Addressing fabrication challenges associated with making high-quality air-bridge waveguides and microrings, performing numerical simulations to improve the design of the devices, and optical testing of the fabricated devices are the specific activities that will be undertaken.

The research work involves the development of a trajectory planning system to generate the complex 3D trajectories for the robotic welding systemto produce a given mining part shape.
