This project aims to quantify defects in the probability framework for 2-dimensional (2D) materials with superior performance using optical techniques, primarily focusing on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Additionally, defects are an important factor influencing the performance of single-photon emitters (SPEs), a type of quantum device. This project will directly relate the SPE performance with defect concentration. […]

This project will create a first of its kind system to measure and validate the performance of conformally cooled tooling (CCT) for die casting and injection molding. CCT increases production efficiency and quality helping Canadian manufacturing to stay competitive with foreign manufacturers. Yet, many manufacturers are reluctant to adopt CCTs due to uncertainty around its […]

Graphene is a promising new nanomaterial, single layers of graphite, with superior physical and electrical properties making it an ideal candidate for electrical applications; however, current graphene production methods are expensive and complicated. As a result, new materials that have similar properties to graphene, but are more amenable to high-yield production are currently being investigated. […]

This project focuses on revolutionizing space communication through the design and optimization of customized conical horn antennas tailored specifically for space applications. Horn antennas are pivotal in facilitating efficient communication in space, offering unmatched versatility in controlling radiation patterns and providing high efficiency. This project aims to optimize horn antenna geometries and design metrics by […]

The proposed research project aims to address the challenge of accurately detecting and classifying complex driving maneuvers in real-world conditions. Partnering with Matt3r Technologies Inc. in Vancouver, BC, this research will develop a deep learning model that uses multiple types of data, such as dashboard video, to achieve maneuver detection for autonomous vehicles. This innovation […]

Video surveillance systems have rapidly expanded, driven by their critical roles in security and traffic monitoring. This expansion has produced vast data volumes, causing bottlenecks in communication systems due to the time-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive nature of surveillance data. To address these challenges, research has increasingly focused on developing algorithms to compress redundant data effectively, evolving […]

Current leak detection methods for water pipelines, such as fixed acoustic devices and Pipeline Inspection Gadgets (PIGs), require shutting off the water supply and are often impractical for field inspections. These methods demand extensive workforce and time and often fail to detect smaller leaks effectively, leading to significant water loss, increased operational costs, and potential […]

Within the Canadian context, this project is expected to solve an environmental problem related to the contamination of soils by heavy metals from the mining industry and deal with a great amount of forest waste generated from the forest industry. This project aims to develop tannin hydrogel from wood residues from Canada, evaluate its performance […]

Le projet de stage en stratégie d’entreprise du stagiaire se concentre sur la validation de marché pour les batteries innovantes développées par l’entreprise, spécifiquement destinées aux applications de stockage d’énergie stationnaire. L’objectif principal de ce projet est d’évaluer la demande et le potentiel commercial de ces batteries sur différents segments de marché. Cela implique une […]

The proposed semi-active rolling seismic isolation system offers an innovative solution to address limitations in passive isolators when exposed to near-fault seismic waves with velocity pulses. Passive isolators effectively control acceleration responses against typical far-field seismic waves but can allow excessive displacement responses during near-fault events, risking collisions and structural damage. This system integrates sloped […]

Beacon Ortho hopes to identify and deliver additively manufactured devices to improve the patient experience, improved fit and comfort, and to reduce the extremely high amount of input waste in fabrication of prosthetic devices. This project aims to test additively manufactured trial devices against moulded thermoplastic trial devices, and composite definitive devices. Using ISO 10328 […]

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer with a five-year survival rate of less than 5%, primarily due to the tumor’s high recurrence rate. The critical challenge in GBM treatment is extending patient survival while maintaining quality of life. Current minimally invasive surgical techniques for GBM involve using endoscopic tools guided by optical microscopes and […]
