Microwave source prototype commercialization

A coherent microwave source is a crucial component in various applications operating within the RF frequency band, including telecommunications, sensing and medical imaging. It provides a stable reference signal, transmits information, and drives other RF components. Recent research by the Hu Group has developed a new method for generating highly coherent microwave emissions, which holds great promise for creating a better performance and compact microwave source compared to current market offerings. The intern’s role involves engineering and optimizing this microwave source using the new method, conducting market research to assess its potential, and laying the groundwork for a future startup. Once the prototype is validated, both partner organizations will benefit from investment opportunities, while also creating valuable advertising and outreach opportunities to attract future interns.

The impact of PCV13 vaccine program discontinuation on herd immunity decay and serotype replacement: a mathematical modeling study

The clinical and cost effectiveness of immunizing children WIth PCV7 and PCV13 is well established in the scientific literature. However the success of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in children has given rise to questions from payers regarding whether continued investment in PCV13 for children is needed. The proposed research project undertaken by the intern will help the partner organization to quantitatively determine: 1) What is the optimal percentage of the children population that needs to be vaccinated to incure herd immunity in the rest of the population? 2) If vaccinating children with PCV13 were discontinued, how fast will herd immunity decay? and 3) If cavvination of children with PCV13 were discontinued, how fast will previously protected serotypes return to the population? Answers to these questions will inform the partner oganization for make evidence-based decisions on the PCV13 vaccination program.

Flexible nanocomposite films with electromagnetic interference shielding properties

The ongoing advancements in electronic equipment towards intelligence, portability, and wearability have increased demand for lightweight, flexible, and mechanically robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. There are textile-based EMI shields in the market; however, they are mostly reflection-based shields rather than absorption-based, which results in secondary pollution. As such, this research project is an initiative taken by the Nanomaterials and Polymer Nanocomposites Laboratory (NPNL) at the University of British Columbia and Nanosafeair to design a thin, flexible absorption-based EMI shield mat for wearable applications. 2 Ph.D. students will perform the project over 6 months.

Experimental standardization of impact resonance tests.

The determination of material properties often involves destructive techniques, such as the application of compression load cycles by losing the study material. In order to solve this problem in obtaining the stiffness properties of construction materials, it is necessary to develop new non-destructive (ND) methods of testing and interpretation of results, especially for viscoelastic materials. Thus, after a few years of collaboration between the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), in Brazil, and the École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS), in Quebec, it is realized that a greater effort is needed in standardizing the experimental aspects of the impact resonance test, as well as improving in both laboratories the back-calculation procedures used to determine the properties of the materials. Therefore, the proposed work is an important step towards the evaluation of repeatability and reproducibility of ND test methods, aiming at future standardization with documents recognized by competent authorities such as ASTM.

Supporting Viet Nam’s efforts toward seahorse conservation:assessing and mitigating threats to a heavily traded marine species

My project will investigate the status of wild seahorse populations in Southern Viet Nam to generate important information on both seahorse biology and seahorse fisheries. Seahorses are unique creatures that are vulnerable to habitat depletion, pollution, and, sadly, excessive fishing by humans. An estimated 20 million seahorses are traded annually for use in traditional medicine, aquarium displays, and souvenirs. Viet Nam is one of the main sources of seahorses for trade, but there is no information on the sustainability of this exploitation. Seahorse exports have been banned from the country, which has significant social, economic, and environmental impacts. By collecting new information on seahorses, my research will increase Viet Nam’s ability to conserve these vulnerable fish, and contribute to a national management plan in support of sustainable seahorse populations.

Fomulation of alkali-activated materials based on Quebec industrial waste by rheological, mechanical and durability analysis in different climates

Portland cement employed in conventional concretes is responsible for 5-7% of the world’s carbon dioxide. Alkali-activated binders appears as one of the promising alternative materials to substitute the use of Portland cement in concrete. Despite this, there are still technical obstacles to be overcome for industrial use. The main gaps include the production of alkali-activated concretes with mechanical and rheological performance suitable for current construction technology application (workability) and the production of durable materials especially in a variety of more extreme environments. Therefore, this project aims at the development of alkali-activated materials in Quebec, with local residual materials, which can be applied in concretes, that are efficient and durable in the Canadian climate. For this, the research will be based on rheological, mechanical and durability behaviors analyze of the materials. Durability tests will focus in evaluate resistance to chemical attack, to freeze-thaw cycles and analysis of pore structures.

Rich, Immersive AR/VR Communication

Face-to-face communication provides substantial benefits over traditional remote communication via video and voice: the expressivity of body language, spatial grounding in a common physical space, access to physical tools and objects, and much more. For many collaborative tasks, face-to-face communication is considered indispensable, yet meeting in person can be rendered infeasible by any number of factors, such as cost, time, urgency, or pandemics.
Simultaneously, the recent pandemic has forced people to explore new ways to enjoy shared experiences such as concerts and sporting events. However, video conferencing tools used for this purpose lack the interactivity and social aspects which make such experiences immersive.
The broad goal of this research is to investigate ways to bring some of the strong benefits of face-to-face communication into remote communication, via the use of augmented and virtual reality technology. AR/VR technologies have the potential to unlock far richer and more immersive communication compared with traditional video or voice calls, yet that potential has not been fully realized in today’s systems.
We propose researching novel communication technologies built atop AR/VR platforms across two streams: bridging the physical and virtual environments in mixed-reality calls, and building mixed-reality crowd experiences based on scalable immersive video delivery.

Contributions to build a theory of land value

The main objective of this research project is to contribute to construct a theory of urban land value, which accounts for the multiplicity of factors that affect the way land is valued in the city.
To achieve the main objective, the different proposed theories of value will be compared from anthropology with contemporary theories about land value, in order to base a state of the art of a new theory of land value.
With this objective, the ideas of political economy, of the classical tradition, on land value that serve as a theoretical and reference framework.
On the other hand, it is necessary to deconstruct the economist view of the value of urban land through a historical review and the reconstruction of an alternative look that allows see the gaps left by traditional economic theories of land value.
And in this way to understand, from another perspective, the urban transformations that take place currently in cities and identify other ways in which property ownership is presented land, beyond individual private property and as exchange commodity.

Machine learning approach for calculating the viscosity of ternary nitrate based molten salts

The growing production of clean electricity from solar resources has led to employ molten salts as heat transfer fluids for thermal energy storage technologies. Thus, the study of thermodynamic and physicochemical properties of multi-component molten salts are critical factors for the design of such units. From one side, binary salt mixtures’ thermodynamic properties are already accessible through critically assessed data. However, the evaluation of physicochemical properties, such as viscosity, requires experimental measurements for specific molten salt compositions. Computational models based on machine learning techniques intend to accelerate the time invested in experimental procedures to simulate and, even more, predict data with high accuracy. Thus, in this work, three machine learning techniques are proposed to predict the viscosity of nitrate-based ternary molten salts. Training data for LiNO3, NaNO3, and KNO3 (unary, binary, and ternary systems) will be collected from the literature to train Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, and Artificial Neural Networks. Then, the coefficient of determination and the root of mean square error will be calculated to evaluate and compare the performance of models.
