The ultimate objective of this project is to design and develop a signal/noise analyzer to improve the reliability and efficiency of EM-based measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tool within various strata formation under high temperature, deep drilling environment. In order to analyze the received signal contaminated by surface and underground noise, it is essential to understand the electrical […]

Oculum is developing a new technology to make eye surgeries safer and more efficient by eliminating the need for chemical dyes. Currently, surgeons use these dyes to see delicate eye tissues, but they come with risks like retinal damage and complications, and they don’t always work reliably. Our solution provides a safer and more consistent […]

Noise pollution is a pervasive issue, particularly in urban environments where it affects sleep quality, cognitive function, and overall health. In response to this growing problem, our project introduces Nimbus, an innovative earplug technology designed to offer adjustable noise attenuation, tailored to the specific needs and environments of its users. Traditional earplugs often provide a […]

Le stage consisterai à étudier, par le biais de simulations numériques (I’expérimentation ayant déjà été réalisée), la déformation à froid et la recristallisation de l’aluminium. Pour cela, I’objectif sera de faire varier différents facteurs physiques et de les intégrer dans un programme dont la déjà définie, afin d’étudier la sensibilité des modèles (type analyse ANOVA) […]

The increasing demand for reliable wireless communication systems in underground mining environments has driven the need for innovative, low-cost, and resilient solutions. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) present a promising approach to enhance signal propagation and ensure continuous, high-quality communication in these complex, obstructed settings. However, the successful deployment of RIS technology depends not only on […]

The proposed research aims to develop a novel and cost-effective method for producing carbon fibers using silane-grafted polyethylene (PE) as an alternative precursor. This approach integrates silane grafting, melt-spinning, stabilization, and carbonization processes to enhance the thermal stability and cross-linking of PE, making it suitable for carbon fiber production. By leveraging silane chemistry, the project […]

The main objective of this project is to develop and characterize innovative and sustainable materials for energy storage devices. In alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the project will investigate using renewable phenolic sources (such as tannin) and industrial waste (such as kraft black liquor) as precursors for synthesizing carbonaceous materials and composites. This […]

When students use mobile devices in a classroom, teachers cannot easily know if students are actively engaged in group activities or if they are distracted. For example, a student may be observing the activities of others rather than contributing to group workspace. Even though students are in close proximity, they can be too focused on […]

This innovation project aims to help mitigate pressing global problems including; resource and waste management, global warming, deforestation, pollution, and energy shortages. At present there is a huge and growing global demand for high-value carbon-based products such as biochar, activated carbon, and carbon electrodes. These products are commonly made from wood biomass, graphite, or other […]

Net Zero Atlantic is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that is seeking to advance a sustainable and inclusive transition to a carbon-neutral Atlantic Canada through the provision of credible and objective data and support services. In service of this objective, Net Zero Atlantic leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic […]

Spinal disorders are the largest cause of years lived with disability globally. Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is a common surgical approach to address dis degeneration, but reoperation rates can remain as high as 20%. Mechanical analysis of on-market designs and discussions with spine surgeons suggest this is linked to the mechanical design of the implants […]
