L2M ParkinSense

This project aims to validate and strategically position an innovative digital health solution designed to monitor tremors in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. The system integrates a wearable sensor and a mobile application to provide continuous, objective measurements of tremor severity and patterns — data that are traditionally collected subjectively and infrequently during clinical visits. Over […]

L2M – Innovative Strategy for Reducing Energy Consumption and Pollutant Emissions in Liquid Fuel Carrier Ships

This project will develop two integrated boil-off gas recovery and re-liquefaction systems for liquefied natural gas and liquefied hydrogen carriers that harness ship exhaust heat and convert it into usable energy through the Kalina power cycle and water-ammonia absorption refrigeration unit. Unlike conventional re-liquefaction systems that require burning additional fuel to produce cooling, the proposed […]

L2M-High-Performance MOFs for Direct Ocean Carbon Capture

The proposed project focuses on developing and testing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for capturing CO2 from both the air and seawater. The intern will identify promising MOF materials, conduct laboratory experiments to measure CO2 uptake, and use computational and machine learning tools to predict performance and optimize designs. The project also includes evaluating the costs, energy […]

Security Investigation and Solutions to Online Advertising Fraud Problems

The market share of online advertising, also known as Internet advertising, has been increasing dramatically in recent years. On the other hand, malicious behaviors, such as click fraud, have degraded the effectiveness of online advertising. Via fraud clicks, a considerable amount of revenues have been lost to fraud conductors. For instance, based on a report […]

L2M-A Triboelectric Nanogenerator-Based Strategy to Minimize Battery Dependence in Ocean Sensing

We are developing a self-powered ocean-energy system that reduces reliance on conventional batteries by using triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to harvest energy from ocean waves, currents, and wind. Unlike many existing technologies that struggle with low-frequency and unpredictable motion, TENGs are lightweight, low-cost, and highly efficient at capturing irregular, low-frequency energy. With nearly 70 % of […]

Tailoring Microencapsulation Strategies for New Applications

The application of microencapsulation technology provides for separation between reactives and curatives, allowing 2-part systems such as adhesives, to be formulated and applied with the inherent stability of a 1-part system. Release and subsequent curing can be controlled to occur “on demand”, for example upon the mechanical fastening of a screw, which results in capsule […]

L2M Highly Efficient DC-DC Converters for Small Offshore Oil Rigs

Offshore oil rigs play a critical role in Canada’s energy industry, but they rely heavily on diesel generators that are expensive, polluting, and difficult to maintain in remote marine environments. This project explores the development of highly efficient DC–DC converters—advanced electronic devices that improve the way electricity is managed on offshore platforms. These converters make […]

L2M Novel Hybrid Scanless Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy System

Our project introduces a novel hybrid fluorescence microscopy system that merges the strengths of light-sheet and confocal microscopy while eliminating their key limitations. The system is fully scanless, removing the need for any motorized scanning devices—resulting in faster, simpler, and more reliable imaging. It also integrates a signal intensifier to detect weak fluorescence and a […]
