Harnessing Solar Power for Smarter Energy Use: This project introduces a passive solar energy switch that automatically adjusts how it uses sunlight based on temperature, without electricity or moving parts. It relies on a Fresnel lens that focuses sunlight. When temperatures are low, water condenses on the lens, causing solar transmission and heating. When temperatures […]

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s cause cognitive decline, motor impairment, and emotional distress. While pharmacological treatments exist, music therapy has shown promise in alleviating symptoms. This project enhances music therapy using AI, making interventions more accessible and personalized. This project aim to develop an AI-powered wearable system that personalizes music therapy based on emotional […]

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer among women, with over 30,000 new cases diagnosed across Canada every year. Most patients undergo breast conserving surgery to remove the tumour, but in over 20% of cases, some of the cancerous tissue is missed, requiring the patient to have a second surgery. We are currently developing […]

The intern is developing a new patent-pending mobility device (class 1 medical device) called the RevoStep, which utilizes an innovative peg-leg mechanism with integrated springs to the user’s injured leg that drastically reduces the load and redirects it away from the injured knee. This innovative product offers a more convenient and flexible recovery alternative to […]

This project aims to commercialize a smart dispatching assistant designed to help trucking and logistics companies reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. The assistant leverages cutting-edge technologies to support dispatchers in making better, faster decisions while coordinating fleets of drivers, trucks, and trailers. Over the course of the project, we will engage with industry stakeholders […]

This project focuses on developing and commercializing a new heat pump cleaning tool designed to work on all models, solving a key challenge in the industry. Currently, the only available tool comes from the U.S. and is not universally effective, making cleaning difficult and expensive due to import costs and tariffs. By creating a locally […]

This project aims to help bring a new type of filtration membrane—made from a strong and reusable material called PEEK—to the market, specifically for use in making biopharmaceutical drugs. The main goal is to understand the current market, talk to companies and other key stakeholders to identify their specific needs, and develop a clear plan […]

This project focuses on developing an AI-powered remote energy assessment platform that makes home energy audits more accessible, affordable, and efficient. By leveraging satellite imagery, smart meter data, and AI-driven models, the platform will provide homeowners with personalized energy efficiency recommendations and automatic rebate matching. The partner organization, Springboard Atlantic Inc., will benefit by supporting […]

L’objectif du stage de recherche proposé est de poursuivre un travail de thèse portant sur la caractérisation des déformations d’un matériau testé en compression. Pour exploiter des essais de compression et en déduite les propriétés mécaniques d’un matériau, l’hypothèse de la déformation homogène du matériau est faite. Or, la déformation est hétérogène à cause de […]

This research proposes a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of an innovative graphene oxide-based technology for CO2 capture, developed by the Computed Tomography Research Group (GIT) at the Industrial University of Santander (UIS). The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and impact of this technology through a comparative analysis between Colombia and Canada, focusing on its efficiency, […]

La Côte d’Ivoire et le Canada sont des pays agricoles et forestiers. Les résidus agricoles et forestiers sont générés sur toutes leurs chaines de production et de transformation. La gestion de ces résidus constitue en enjeu environnemental et économique majeur dans les deux pays. Dans ce contexte, ce projet vise à valoriser les résidus agricoles […]

The project “Scaling Sustainable Waste-to-Energy Solutions: Poultry Manure to Biofuels and Carbon Capture” focuses on commercializing an innovative pyrolysis-based technology that transforms poultry manure into bio-oil, biochar, and pyro-gas. This solution addresses both environmental and economic challenges in Canada’s poultry and renewable energy sectors by providing a sustainable alternative to traditional manure disposal methods, which […]
