strong
foundational
knowledge
in
the
process
control
and
optimization
of
water
and
wastewater
infrastructure.
He
has
delivered
several
water
and

Canada
during
his
research,
consulting
and
government
tenures
with
the

Elucid
Labs
is
a
medtech
venture
in
Waterloo.
The
team
consists
of
world-leading
experts
in
optical
imaging,
computational
imaging
and
artificial
intelligence,
with
extensive
academic
and
industrial
experience
and
innovation.
AIDA
is
an
augmented
intelligence
imaging
solution
for
early
detection
and
diagnosis
of
skin
cancer.
AIDA's
proprietary
imaging
technology
probes
the
molecular
makeup
of
the
skin
at
different
layers
and
produces
an
unique
fingerprint
for
the
mole/lesion.
AIDA's
proprietary
AI
technology
translates
this
fingerprint
into
valuable
clinical
knowledge
to
assist
dermatologists
in
making
better,
faster,
and
more
well
informed
decisions.
Using
AIDA,
detection
and
diagnosis
of
skin
cancer
can
be
performed
at
much
earlier
stages
of
development
which
in
turn
reduces
the
cost
of
treatment
as
well
as
significantly
reducing
the
unnecessary
biopsies
carried
out
every
year.
Elucid
Labs
has
recently
been
honoured
by
the
Canadian
Innovation
Exchange
as
one
of
the
top
20
most
innovative
technology
companies
in
Canada.
Ning
Jiang
Assistant
Professor,
Systems
Design
Engineering
and
Director
of
Waterloo
Engineering
Bionics
Lab
Combining
his
industrial,
academic
and
clinical
experiences,
his
current
research
interests
include
artificial
intelligence
in
the
signal
analysis
and
processing
of
electromyography
(EMG),
electroencephalogram
(EEG),
electrocardiogram
(ECG),
and
the
applications
of
these
signals
in
human-machine
interfaces.
The
Engineering
Bionics
Lab
develops
next
generation
human-machine
interfaces
where
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
and
human
intelligence
are
integrated
harmonically.
Specifically,
using
AI
algorithms
to
analysis
brain
waves,
we
are
developing
rehabilitation
systems
that
can
accurately
detect
movement
intentions
of
paralyzed
stroke
patients,
so
that
they
can
recover
faster.
