The proposed project involves designing, assembling, and testing a reflection-mode microscope that can perform circular dichroism (CD) imaging, which is used to study the chirality of molecules. Current CD microscopes are based on transmission – this project would involve developing a new optical system that uses reflection. Specific tasks include reviewing literature and learning lab […]

The Bus Design Innovation Program (BDIP) is an applied research and innovation initiative led by the Toronto Transit Commission in partnership with Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU International and Local 113) and Centennial College. Launched in 2023, the program aims to reimagine bus design to improve operator safety, passenger experience, and overall system resilience. The BDIP […]

This proposed project aims to apply the emerging and open source large language models (LLMs) systems, particularly Retrieval-Augmented-Generation (RAG) pipelines, to generate the deployment scheme of the cryptographic product for different application environments of end customers. The semi-automation of generating the deployment scheme helps improve the scalability of business by the increase of productivity while […]

The transport sector remains a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions1. This impact is even greater in the case of perishable goods, where the vehicle’s propulsion engine or an auxillary unit must also power the refrigeration systems. As a result, engines run continuously, also while stationary, leading to increased fuel consumption and emissions2. Fully […]

This project focuses on developing a new version of an ergonomic seating device called BackRelief, in collaboration with a Montreal-based company, Confo Inno. Many people spend long hours sitting, which can lead to discomfort and back problems, especially when posture does not change throughout the day. The goal of this project is to design and […]

Nous avons un modèle entraîné sur des fichiers audios de personnes qui parlent le français en seconde langue, et nous souhaitons explorer et améliorer la reconnaissance de notre modèle “Speech to text” pour les apprenants débutants en français. Objectif: réduction du WER pour des apprenants débutants en français avec une IA conversationnelle. Plus tard, nous […]

Argo Transit Corporation provides municipalities with a turnkey, near door-to-door on-demand transit service that integrates software, onboard hardware, vehicles, and operational procedures. As Argo expands into more communities, the organization must ensure that service delivery remains reliable, consistent, and efficient across diverse operating environments. This project supports that goal by developing standardized processes, tools, and […]

The objective of this project is to analyze hydraulic monitoring data to better understand how waves and water levels interact with geotube coastal protection structures in Quebec, Canada. The project focuses on the processing and interpretation of measurements collected from wave buoys, pressure sensors, and tide gauges to characterize the local wave climate, storm conditions, […]

The impacts of permafrost thaw on northern railways can lead to temporary speed restrictions (“slow orders”) imposed to mitigate operational risk until permanent remediation works are completed. These slow orders cause unpredictability in nominal train operating speeds and ultimately affect the reliability of long/heavy trains operating across successive slow-ordered segments. Little is known about how […]

To develop a new hardware architecture and image and video distribution software for an ultrahigh resolution (100MPixel) multi-projection digital display. The solution will be based on an architecture employing multiple graphics cards and multiple PCs.

The overall objective of this project is to create an extensive digital library for our buoy systems. This digital library will be used to catalogue the buoy parts and associated components for record keeping, version history, and client requests. The digital library will be used to analyze the parts to ensure that they align properly […]

This project’s aim is to develop the Piper robot arm as an effective ‘cobot’, developing point tracking, manual control, and teach & repeat capabilities with a variety of different end effectors. This will take the form of tracking ZeroKey position sensors with a camera or lamp, control with a game controller / keyboard / other […]
