Denture assemblies are oral appliances or prosthetic devices to replace missing teeth and restore oral function, speech, and aesthetics. The dentures market is driven by the senior population and demand, which is expected to grow by 68% in the next 20 years according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. This demographic also often suffer […]

Les prothèses myoélectriques permettent aux personnes amputées de contrôler un bras artificiel en captant les signaux électriques des muscles, appelés signaux électromyographiques (EMG). Cependant, ces prothèses restent limitées par des variations de ces signaux, causées par des facteurs comme la sueur, la fatigue ou le déplacement des électrodes, ce qui entraîne des pertes de précision […]

The transformation of light in current, i.e. photodetection, has been exploited in several technologies. From the detectors used in materials characterization to solar cells, the use of performant materials that can efficiently produce photocurrents is inspired by the normal functioning of the eyes. Within them, a photon of light is converted into a current, traveling […]

The Town of Drayton Valley is seeking to focus on two main areas including the creation of a multi-faceted Emergency Social Service (ESS) plan and a community re-entry plan; two areas we are struggling with to solve with our knowledge and experience. These plans are being implemented across Alberta, and Canada, to ensure the safety […]

This project aims to develop a high-resolution and high-speed microscope for capturing fast cellular biological interactions and processes. CoVision, a custom microscope instrumentation company, will directly work with the research fellow to develop and build this custom system. This includes designing the commercial grade packaging, sourcing components, and development of the user interface to be […]

The project entails an experimental and numerical investigation into the effect of adding seeding particles into a Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal storage system under the application of Electrohydrodynamics (EHD).In previous experiments we have seen an increase in heat transfer enhancement for the same applied electric field when we have added seeding particles. The objective […]

As one of the most promising pathways to achieve zero-emission targets, Canada and Germany launched their respective hydrogen strategies. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) for green hydrogen production and hydrogen-fed PEM fuel cells (PEMFCs) for zero-emission vehicles are two technologies considered to be crucial parts of the future hydrogen infrastructure in both countries. Although […]

The main objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive data analysis of the full scale ice impact measurement and temperature measurements taken on board an Arctic tanker and compare with existing data sets and analytical models. The results will be used in support of developing and improving ice class rules, design criteria, and […]

Leak detection and location identification of leakage of arctic pipelines in a timely manner is very important because the economic impact of an oil spill to its stakeholders can be huge. It could have an adverse impact on life, the environment, the economy and corporate reputation. In this study a numerical investigations will be employed […]

Dans le cadre de la transition énergétique, la demande pour les minéraux critiques et stratégiques (MCS) augmente constamment. Cependant, l’extraction et le raffinage de ces MCS à partir de sources primaires peuvent s’avérer coûteux et techniquement complexes, surtout lorsque les métaux recherchés sont présents en faibles concentrations. C’est pourquoi les rejets miniers, souvent considérés comme […]

In this project, we will design a set of communication protocols dedicated for linear wireless sensor networks, which have promising applications in the real world for environment and infrastructure monitoring. The protocols will be implemented and evaluated by using the multimode, enhanced wireless senor nodes developed in the host academic supervisor’s lab. With the objectives […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de mettre en place une simulation à base d’agents afin de créer un jumeau numérique du service d’urgence. Ce jumeau numérique permettra de modéliser et de simuler diverses situations afin de mieux comprendre et améliorer les processus en place. En simulant la réorientation des patients avec priorités 4 et 5, […]
