Managing the risks from snow avalanches during winter mountain travel is vital for the Canadian avalanche industry. An average of 14 avalanche-related fatalities per year occurred between 1997 and 2014 with the majority of those triggering the avalanches themselves. We propose a detailed examination of avalanche risk management practices using the conceptual model for avalanche […]

GreenWorks is focused on developing technology solutions to help clients their sustainability requirements. Over the course of the project, we will be developing research assessments for different market segments that can help advance GreenWorks reach and capabilities. A large portion of the project will be building research reports to that can provide insight into the […]

Le projet consiste à vérifier et améliorer pour gérer les CAPA et assurer leur efficacité, c’est-à-dire les actions correctives et les actions préventives prises pour améliorer et minimiser les erreurs possibles en production et dans l’entreprise. Cela permettra à l’organisme partenaire d’assurer la conformité et la sécurité des produits tout en permettant de minimiser les […]

Imaginez des matériaux en plastique renforcé de fibres (PRF) très solides, fabriqués par les entreprises. Aujourd’hui, ces matériaux ne sont pas toujours faciles à recycler et contiennent des fibres qui ne sont pas très écologiques. Ce projet de recherche vise à rendre ces matériaux plus durables. Pour cela, le stagiaire va explorer deux pistes : […]

Mining activities generate large quantities of waste rock after valuable metals are extracted. Upon exposure to air and water, a diverse range of metals and metalloids are released and mobilized to the surrounding environment. There is an urgent need to manage the environmental risk posed by mine waste rock piles given the scale of the […]

Ce projet a pour objectif d’évaluer les performances de résines polymères biosourcées, fabriquées à partir de chitosane pour des applications de microfabrication de dispositifis et systèmes microélectroniques. Ces résines représentent une alternative écologique aux résines dérivées du pétrole et permettraient ainsi une diminution de l’impact environnemental de certains procédés de microfabrication

Workplace incidents usually need to be reported and it is important to ensure that they are resolved in a timely manner. To understand the procedures involved in an emergency response to a workplace incident, we have started investigating the existing practices of the McGill University Safety office by interviewing their personnel. We focused our investigation […]

The proposed project aims to develop a robust, data-driven supply chain dashboard for Kisaan Die Tech (KDT) to enhance visibility, improve decision-making, and align production schedules with customer demand. The dashboard will integrate data from multiple sources, optimize inventory levels, and enhance cash flow management, addressing challenges related to overseas supplier lead time, transit time, […]

Gaia Refinery is a Canadian cleantech company focused on sustainable resource recovery and carbon management. Its core mission is to develop low-impact technologies for converting waste carbon streams into high-value products such as bio-carbon materials, fuels, and catalysts. In collaboration with Lambton College, Gaia Refinery is supporting this project to explore the development of low-cost, […]

This research project will explore how to make augmented reality (AR) tools more accurate and easier to use in steel fabrication workshops. The intern will work with Eterio Realities Inc., a Canadian company that created FabStation. This AR system helps workers see 3D digital models overlaid on steel parts to guide their work. Currently, FabStation […]

This project focuses on developing smart materials that can move or change shape in response to light and magnetic fields with the synthesis of Thiolacrylate-Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCE) with the incorporation of superparamagnetic or ferromagnetic particles. These materials, called liquid crystal elastomers, have potential applications in soft robots, which are flexible machines that can be […]
