Telecom photonic resources for quantum sensing$622Kvalue2022start2025end

The quality of quantum photonic technologies, ranging from communication to computation to sensing, depends on the generation of high-quality quantum states photonic states: either single or entangled photons. The Project addresses this challenge, developing on-demand sources of indistinguishable single photons and entangled photon pairs, on-chip and at telecommunication wavelengths. These sources require the integration and electronic-gating of self-assembled quantum dots, whose sizes and material composition have been carefully engineered to provide telecom photons, with on-chip nanoscale sy

The Second Generation Balloon-borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment (BVEX2) aims to help astronomers map incredibly small and distant objects in space, like the regions surrounding supermassive black holes. By suspending a radio telescope from a stratospheric balloon above 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, BVEX2 will demonstrate a new way to observe high-frequency light that is normally blocked by the atmosphere. This project will make the first demonstration that a telescope suspended from a stratospheric balloon can be used as part of an Earth-sized network of radio telescopes. The

A Security Analytics Framework for Attack Detection and Prevention in Smart Aging Care Systems$287Kvalue2022start2024end

Smart home-based aging care systems are reshaping the health services by introducing proactive monitoring, improving quality of life, and facilitating efficient management of health resources. However, these advances inevitably emphasize growing threats to the security and privacy of sensitive personal and health information. This project will develop a comprehensive security analytics framework entailing multi-level countermeasures (i.e., software systems) for attack detection and prevention in smart aging care systems. The framework will include advanced vulnerability assessment, machine lea

AI for rail infrastructure thermal stress condition assessment$285Kvalue2020start2024end

In Canada, thermal stress buildup due to climatic changes can lead to failure of rail structures. Currently, there are no techniques available to continuously monitor the stress state in a rail over long distances. Distributed fibre optic sensing is a promising solution. Due to the extent of rail track infrastructure in Canada (45,000 km), the method of sensor install must be automated. In addition, to manage the immense volumes of measurement data as well as implement predicative analytical strategies, artificial intelligence (AI) approaches are the essential. The proposed research will addre

Printed high-gain low-profile circularly polarized beam-steerable antennas for satellite links enabling broadband internet connectivity in rural-sub-urban areas$195Kvalue2020start2023end

According to Telesat, 2.3 million households in Canada currently do not have access to affordable and reliable high-speed internet. This is partially due to the vast remote region that makes it impractical for the installation of fiber-optic cables in those areas. The consequence of this is that those households are prevented from fully participating in and benefitting from the digital economy, including opportunities for education, job advancement and access to healthcare. When faced with similar challenges, several developing nations like India are now focusing on projects like “Frugal 5G” t

Developing Large Language Models with Reasoning Ability for Intelligent Design in Material Search$176Kvalue2024start2026end

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 reasonin
