The reduction of CO2 to value-added products is critical towards the reduction of carbon emissions and eco-friendly fuel production. Two dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have proven as effective catalysts for reactions involving CO2 reduction, but a better understanding of how the catalytic activity, reaction mechanism, and to a greater extent the […]

This project focuses on developing a low-cost limb prosthesis tailored to resource-constrained and conflict-affected settings. It leverages open-source designs and additive manufacturing to provide customizable, locally fabricated solutions for individuals with limited access to conventional care. The proposed devices will incorporate 3D-printed components within a parametric design workflow that enables rapid patient-specific customization and scalable […]

MobilitiQ is a Canadian mobility-technology partner developing an AI-enabled, on-demand shared mobility platform that helps public-sector and private operators design, operate, and continuously improve flexible-route/flexible-schedule services. The organization’s core activities include: (i) integrating operational data sources (e.g., AVL/dispatch logs, booking/ride requests, service policies); (ii) building analytics to understand spatio-temporal demand patterns, service reliability, and operational […]

This project focuses on the development and validation of asset-level climate risk modeling frameworks for infrastructure and institutional portfolios. As climate-related hazards intensify, asset owners and financial institutions require forward-looking, decision-grade analytics that quantify physical risk under multiple climate scenarios. The project applies a structured hazard – exposure – vulnerability – loss framework, integrating geospatial […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à rendre les systèmes de chauffage, ventilation et climatisation (HVAC) plus économes en énergie en intégrant un dispositif innovant appelé tube vortex. Ce dispositif peut produire simultanément de l’air chaud et de l’air froid à partir d’un fluide comprimé, sans utiliser de pièces mécaniques mobiles. Le stagiaire étudiera, à l’aide […]

Reliable electricity and internet access are essential for basic services (healthcare, education, emergency response) and economic opportunity, yet many rural and off-grid communities, including some Indigenous areas, still lack both. Thus, this research project investigates how rural and off-grid communities can access more affordable and reliable electricity and broadband by planning energy and connectivity together […]

This project will develop and compare two simulation approaches for a Hamburg smart-city scenario and package the workflow so it can be reused for similar modelling in Ottawa. I will build (1) an agent-based model using the MARS framework (C#) with layered/GIS-style representations where agents move and interact based on their surroundings, and (2) a […]
