Initial Safety Risk Assessment of Hydrogen–Natural Gas Blends in Pipelines: A Case Study in Québec

This project assesses the safety of blending hydrogen with natural gas in Québec’s pipeline network, which is a crucial step towards Canada’s transition to cleaner energy. During a 13-week research internship, the project will identify safety risks, such as material degradation and explosion hazards, using risk assessment tools like HyRAM+. The anticipated benefits are twofold: […]

Mise au point d’un dispositif de traitement électrochimique de l’eau potable des puits isolés

Ce projet de recherche de 4 mois vise à comprendre les raisons des dysfonctionnements observés sur des systèmes pilotes utilisant une technologie électrochimique pour traiter le sulfure d’hydrogène (H2S) dans l’eau de puits résidentiels isolés. En étudiant deux contextes géologiques différents, nous analyserons les paramètres géochimiques et opérationnels qui influencent l’efficacité du traitement. Le projet […]

Implementing Mobility-as-a-Service in Canada by Learning from an Austrian Example

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is an emerging service that enables users to plan, reserve, and pay for different on-demand and shared mobility services through an integrated platform. MaaS is relatively more advanced and widespread in European countries than in North America. In parts of Europe, shared mobility services can also be found in mobility hubs (dedicated on-street […]

Analyse biomécanique sur l’efficacité des orthèses de genoux personnalisées

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre comment des orthèses de genou personnalisées peuvent aider les adolescents à prévenir les blessures graves au genou, notamment la rupture du ligament croisé antérieur (LCA). Ces blessures sont fréquentes chez les jeunes sportifs, surtout lorsqu’ils présentent un désalignement du genou appelé “valgus dynamique”. En s’appuyant sur des […]

L2M – Carbon Capture in Breweries using Adsorption-Based Technology

This project will support the commercialization of TurnCO2, a clean technology startup developing a low-cost carbon capture system designed specifically for craft and mid-sized breweries. Breweries produce large amounts of CO2 during fermentation, but most of it is released into the air while they continue to buy expensive, externally sourced CO2 for packaging and carbonation. […]

Process Engineering Internship

This project’s goals include optimizing and documenting the development of zwitterionic hydrogels that will be used as injectable hydrogels to substitute current hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplements to treat osteoarthritis. During this internship, the intern will be able to work on the synthesis, characterization, purification, and packaging of zwitterionic hydrogels and document these protocols by establishing standard […]

Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Lower Gas Permeability for Liner Polyethylene in Fiber Reinforced Pipes (FRPs)

Permeation of CO2 gas through the inner layer in multi-layer fiber reinforced pipes (FRPs) destructively reduces pipe durability. FRPs generally consist of three or more layers of polymer and reinforcing fibers. Gas permeation thorough the polymer layer and its accumulation in reinforcing layer leads to pipe failure during depressurizing cycles. Using clay nano-platelet can lead […]

MFL Mitacs Project Electric School Buses

The transition to electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles, particularly school buses, presents a significant opportunity for sustainable transportation. School buses are ideal candidates for electrification due to their predictable daily routes and manageable travel distances. However, establishing the necessary charging infrastructure and charging schedule at bus depots is a major barrier to this transition. Installing […]

Orbital Angular Momentum Modulated Free-space Optical Communication systems

The use of orbital angular momentum (OAM) for free-space optical (FSO) communications is almost unexplored. The proposed research will investigate the bit-error rate (BER) performance of FSO systems using OAM. The analysis will begin by considering the ideal case of separable OAM-modulated FSO system performance, to be followed by the individual and combined effects of […]
