This project aims to develop advanced hybrid cooling strategies for electric vehicle (EV) battery systems by integrating turbulence-enhanced flow control with passive air and active liquid cooling methods. Using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes k-omega model, the research will investigate the role of turbulence in improving heat dissipation, temperature uniformity, and overall thermal performance. By combining […]

La gestion de la santé physique et mentale des artistes de cirque est un défi, car les exigences varient beaucoup selon les disciplines de cirque. Actuellement, le suivi de la charge de travail, utilisé pour optimiser l’entraînement et prévenir les blessures dans d’autres sports, n’est pas encore appliqué aux arts du cirque. Ce projet vise […]

This project will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can make safety reviews in industrial plants faster, smarter, and more reliable. The intern will help build a computer system that can read and understand technical drawings and documents used in engineering, then use that information to spot possible risks in how equipment is designed or operated. […]

The main objectives of the project are designing, developing, and integrating a high-resolution electromagnetic mapping instrument, with interchangeable sensor arrays or sensor suites for single-sided access, non-contact characterization of materials, by evaluating different electromagnetic properties (i.e., electric conductivity, magnetic permeability, dielectric constant) while using an intelligent modular architecture. Sustainability of new and improved manufacturing methods, […]

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are responsible for detection and review of malicious interactions. The SOC issues tickets for interactions that are considered suspicious or threatening. These tickets are then inspected by analysts for approval. For sake of safety, this ticketing system often issues too many “false positives”, i.e., it alerts for interactions that are not […]

KidsAbility is the leading provider of pediatric rehabilitation in Waterloo and Wellington, supporting 17,000 children each year. Rising demand and a shortage of trained clinicians have made it difficult to keep up, leading to longer wait times for families in need. KidsAbility is exploring the use of group therapy in their Speech Language Therapy (SLT) […]

Increasingly prevalent patient violence within the dementia population is a challenge to long term care providers. Violent incidents can lead to serious musculoskeletal and neurological health complications. I propose to use video surveillance and a novel brain monitoring system in a care facility-based elderly population, to monitor violent episodes and brain vitality after incidents. This […]

Depuis plusieurs décennies, les propriétaires riverains du lac Saint-Pierre, dans le Kamouraska, s’inquiètent de l’état de santé de leur lac. Plusieurs études ont relevé des signes d’eutrophisation. L’étude réalisée par Pro Faune en 2006 indique que les apports en phosphore dépassent probablement la capacité de support du lac. Depuis la parution de ces rapports, les […]

Recent studies in quantum computing have demonstrated that the localized unitary Jastrow (LUCJ) ansatz, a promising electronic structure method capable of running on near-term quantum hardware, can surpass exact solutions on classical hardware by using quantum-centric supercomputing. However, scalable and efficient methods for initializing the LUCJ ansatz remain underexplored in current research. We propose a […]

Lithium-ion batteries with silicon anodes have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional theoretical specific capacity of approximately 3,590 mAh/g at room temperature—nearly ten times that of conventional graphite anodes (~372 mAh/g). However, the practical application of silicon anodes faces challenges such as significant volume expansion during lithiation, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, and capacity fading […]

Dans un contexte hivernale de plus en plus changeant, il devient primordial de se doter de méthodes de détection efficaces. Ce projet vise à développer et valider des méthodes de détection des contaminants dans les produits de dégivrage aéroportuaires afin d’optimiser leur efficacité et réduire leur impact environnemental. En combinant des approches analytiques avancées et […]
