A Bayesian Optimized Multi Harmonics Index Approach for Fault Diagnosis of Gearboxes

The project aims to design and develop an algorithm that can diagnose faults in planetary and fixed-axis gearboxes. Common faults in gearboxes are often masked by the Gear Meshing Frequency, making them difficult to detect via classical spectral analysis. A multi-harmonic index approach based on an adaptive combined envelope spectrum is selected as the foundational algorithm due to its robustness to noise in bearing analysis and its cyclostationary capabilities. Moreover, a Bayesian algorithm is proposed to select the ideal frequency band, improving the time complexity as compared to other optimization algorithms.

Physiopathological basis of a new neuro-ophthalmological disease linked to “chemsex”.

Chemsex refers to the recreational use of psychoactive substances to enhance sexual experiences and is associated with increased sexual risk-taking and mental health issues, including substance dependence. One of the most commonly used substances in this context is isopropyl nitrite, owing to its low cost, wide availability, and ease of inhalation. In recent years, growing concern has emerged regarding its effects on the central nervous system (CNS), particularly following reports of retinal dysfunction linked to neurodegenerative processes.
While visual disturbances after isopropyl nitrite exposure are often transient, multiple cases of irreversible retinal damage have been documented. These adverse effects appear to occur more frequently in individuals who concurrently use ritonavir, a protease inhibitor widely prescribed for viral infections such as HIV, and sildenafil citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor frequently used in chemsex settings. However, stigma surrounding chemsex has led to substantial underdiagnosis, limiting current knowledge of long-term neurological consequences beyond the retina.
This project hypothesizes that combined exposure to a nitric oxide donor, a PDE5 inhibitor, and a protease inhibitor disrupts redox homeostasis in neurovascular units by increasing nitric oxide bioavailability. The resulting oxidative and nitrosative stress damages the neurovascular endothelium, induces rapid neurovascular uncoupling, and may trigger neurodegeneration.

Psychology in the works of Nietzsche and Canguilhem

I am going to Weimar to study for one semester (from April 2026 to August 2026) at the Bauhaus-Universität in Weimar. I will be hosted by Professor Henning Schmidgen, a specialist in the history and philosophy of science and technology. Professor Schmidgen will lead philosophy seminars in German, which I will attend and for which I will be evaluated. In addition, he will be available to supervise my research and support the writing of my thesis with his in-depth knowledge of the philosophers I am studying, Friedrich Nietzsche and Georges Canguilhem. Weimar is also a strategic city for me, as it is home to the Nietzsche Archives. This will allow me to benefit from their activities, specialists, and documents to deepen my understanding of the German thinker. Furthermore, I will take advantage of my presence in Europe to make several trips to Paris, where the Canguilhem Archives are located, for research stays. My co-supervisor, Prof. Pierre-Olivier Méthot, and I intend to organize one of these stays in Paris in April for this same purpose.

Electrochemical detection of droplets in microfluidic systems

The combination of electrochemical sensing with miniature fluid handling systems (microfluidics) can lead to the creation of a miniature and portable all-in-one analytical platforms or “lab-on-a-chip”. Lab-on-a-chip technology is used in a variety of sectors, including healthcare (e.g., medical diagnostic tests) and the environment and natural resources (e.g., remote monitoring & sensing). However, electrode fabrication methods for high resolution and small feature sizes are expensive while low-cost methods cannot reach the microscale resolutions needed for microfluidics. Recently, we have developed a simple and straightforward method to combine electrodes formed by the laser-induced graphene (LIG) process with high resolution microfluidic channels. LIG electrodes are formed by irradiating a carbon-rich substrate with high energy laser, generating graphene. This is a low cost process that is amenable to rapid prototyping and can achieve electrode sizes compatible with microfluidic channels. Our new method requires additional characterization and test applications to mature the technology so it can be applied to a variety of applications. Here, the intern will work to characterize the effect of different parameters of the underlying substrate for the LIG electrodes and seek to integrate LIG-based electrodes with a droplet microfluidic device for proof-of-principle applications.

L2M – Market Validation for a Next-Generation Green Hydrogen Production Solution

This project focuses on validating a next-generation green hydrogen production technology and advancing its path toward commercialization. Green hydrogen is widely recognized as a critical solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in industries such as chemicals, energy storage, manufacturing, and transportation. However, today’s green hydrogen production methods are still expensive and energy-intensive, limiting large-scale adoption.
Through the Lab2Market Validate program, this project supports the commercialization of a novel green hydrogen solution developed by the Canadian startup Faradix. The technology aims to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of green hydrogen production by combining electrochemical innovation with intelligent energy management, enabling hydrogen to be produced more sustainably and closer to where it is used.
Over four months, the project will engage directly with industrial stakeholders, technology integrators, and policy experts to understand real customer needs, economic requirements, and regulatory constraints. These insights will be translated into market use cases, cost models, and deployment strategies that help determine where and how the technology can deliver the greatest value.
The outcome of the project will be a market-driven commercialization roadmap, including validated customer segments, economic performance benchmarks, and pilot opportunities. By bridging technical innovation with market reality, the project contributes to Canada’s clean energy ecosystem and supports the development of globally competitive climate technologies.

Real-Time Single-Photon Correlation Detection

This project develops specialized computer hardware to process data from advanced quantum cameras in real-time, enabling breakthrough applications in medical imaging, biological research, and astronomy. The work addresses a critical limitation in current quantum imaging systems, which must record data during experiments and analyze it later. This is a time-consuming process that prevents researchers from adjusting experiments on-the-fly. By implementing real-time photon correlation on reconfigurable hardware (FPGA), the project will enable immediate feedback for applications like non-invasive stroke monitoring, ultra-low-light microscopy of delicate biological specimens, and astronomical observations. The collaboration strengthens ties between Canadian computational imaging research and Switzerland’s world-leading sensor development capabilities, bringing cutting-edge expertise in high-speed data processing and multi-sensor systems back to Canadian institutions.

Empirical Validation of CXL Memory System Behaviour Against a Formal Model

Modern computer systems increasingly rely on shared memory technologies that allow multiple components, such as processors and accelerators, to access the same data. Compute Express Link (CXL) is a new industry standard designed to enable this kind of shared memory while preserving important correctness guarantees. While formal models describe how CXL systems are expected to behave, it remains unclear how well real implementations match these expectations in practice. This project will empirically test the behavior of CXL enabled systems against an existing formal model by designing and running targeted experiments. The results will improve understanding of emerging memory technologies and help ensure that future systems are reliable, correct, and performant. The collaboration will strengthen research ties between McMaster University and Imperial College London while providing advanced training in systems validation and experimental research methods.

Electrical characterization of memristors for neural networks (AI)

Resistive memories have emerged as a pivotal advancement in modern electronics, offering remarkable advantages in energy efficiency, scalability, and non volatile operation. However, TiO2 based OxRAM devices still face key challenges, particularly regarding circuit level variability and the limited number of demonstrations in realistic application settings. This project addresses these gaps by thoroughly characterizing OxRAM switching dynamics, assessing their integration within analog and digital circuits, and developing automated Python based testing tools on the LOTUS neuromorphic platform. Together, these efforts will help establish the viability of OxRAM based analog modules for neuromorphic processing and next generation embedded AI systems.

Investigation of gut microbiome shift in Japanese dairy calves in response to heat stress

This project will expand on a previous project on heat stress on calf microbiome with the prevalence of climate change. Young calves are particularly vulnerable because their immune and temperature regulation systems are not fully developed, and their gut microbiome—the community of bacteria, archaea, and viruses that support digestion and health—is still forming. In Japan, temperature–humidity index levels regularly exceed calf comfort thresholds during the summer months, potentially leading to reduced growth, greater disease incidence, and reduced long-term performance. Similar threats are emerging in Canada, highlighted by increased frequency of “heat domes,” which cause unprecedented losses in dairy herds. This project will study how heat stress affects the developing gut microbiome communities of pre-weaned calves, focusing on the colon. Using novel “omics” technologies, the research will explore the disruption of early life microbiome development under heat stress and how these changes may affect calf growth, immunity, and resilience. The results will inform management strategies for heat-stressed calves, such as probiotics, microbial modulation, or tryptophan metabolite-based strategies. Outcomes will support improvements in calf management in Japan, provide critical information for the Canadian dairy industry, and contribute to building climate-resilient dairy production systems worldwide.

Laser-driven plume formation is a process relevant to fluid dynamics, laser surgery, and materials processing. In photomechanical spallation, high-intensity laser pulses rapidly deposit energy into a liquid, triggering shock waves, phase transitions, and bubble formation. Although much is known about these phenomena, significant gaps remain in understanding how Newtonian fluids (e.g., glycerol and water) behave under ultrafast, high-strain-rate conditions. Traditionally, Newtonian fluids have been assumed to lack elasticity because they quickly dissipate deformation energy through viscous flow, at least at large time scales. However, research by Kayanattil et al. has challenged this view by demonstrating “rubber-like” elasticity in liquid glycerol during laser-driven free-surface flow under vacuum. In these experiments, the elastic response persists for microseconds—four orders of magnitude (ten thousand times) longer than the typical molecular relaxation time (t?)—and strongly influences bubble expansion and rupture. This metastable state suggests that collective molecular interactions can temporarily suppress energy dissipation, yielding solid-like behavior in a simple liquid. [4] While earlier studies noted shear elasticity at high frequencies or low strains, the large-strain, long-duration elastic responses observed at extreme strain rates (~106 s?¹) are unprecedented.[4] These results challenge conventional fluid mechanics and suggest that long-range molecular correlations are critical under such conditions.

Monitoring the Effectiveness of Wildlife Passages in Built Environments

The City of Edmonton’s River Valley and Ravine system is a vital natural asset, supported by policies like the City Plan, Natural Connections and Breathe: Edmonton’s Green Network Strategy. To foster connectivity, the City uses wildlife passages to ensure safe animal movement and reduce human-wildlife conflict. This project will build on past research efforts to improve understanding of how to effectively monitor wildlife passages specifically within tableland areas or within existing or proposed neighbourhoods. Some monitoring has been collected for the River Valley and Ravine areas, but more limited data has been collected within tableland areas. The need for monitoring wildlife passages is crucial for ensuring their long-term success and effectiveness. This work will further help to establish a baseline for wildlife passage design, monitoring and process renewal.
