In recent years, lignin valorization has been given more attention by the scientific community, hoping to make breakthroughs in the field. Thus, this project aims to attribute value to lignin biomass (sugarcane bagasse and sugarcane straw from Brazil and kraft lignin from Canada), an industry by-product that is currently being discarded as industrial waste on […]

This project aims to make quadruped robots smarter and more versatile by adding a 360-degree camera and a robot arm into a reinforcement learning control system. The quadruped robots will undergo training with these upgrades in a simulation environment before being deployed in real-world scenarios. These upgrades will help the robots better understand their surroundings […]

With the successful demonstration of HARVEST (formerly POWER) system with Pizza Pizza, this project focuses on adapting the HARVEST system for use with gas-fired fryers and demonstrate the proven waste heat recovery technology in a full-service restaurant (FSR) operated by Recipe Unlimited. Being a fuel-less, carbon-free water heating system that acts as a drop-in replacement […]

Conception avancée d’un drone multi-tâches d’urgence pour les situations de désastres qui pour une prise en charge clinique du patient allant du monitoring, traitement et transport (i.e.: Drone Alpha de Vimy Multi-Système; Modélisation et prototype). Ce projet s’insère dans la R&D de moyens de prise en charge de blessés en situation de catastrophes dont la […]

Despite significant development of various construction materials, masonry is still considered as one of the most cost-effective materials. However, they are often vulnerable to wind-induced lateral loads caused during construction stage (within 1 to 2 days of construction) when the masonry is yet to achieve full strength. Temporary bracing systems are often used to support […]

Dans ce projet, on propose de produire du mobilier urbain (pièces extérieures) à partir de matières 100% recyclées. Pour ce faire, des plastiques flexibles (films, pellicules, sacs, etc.) en fin de vie seront récupérés pour être utilisés ensemble (mélanges de résines) ou avec l’ajout d’autres résidus solides. Ces résidus seront sélectionnés parmi les matières disponibles […]

While OLED displays are now a relatively-mature technology, they have been almost exclusively targeting consumer electronics. As such, the ultimate goal of this ambitious collaboration will be to: Evaluate the technology and supply chain readiness of actual OLED and other emerging display technologies. Assess their potential for cockpit (critical) and cabin (passenger-level) aeronautics and train […]

In the development of AI-assisted imaging tools, Perimeter faces the challenge of enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of tumor margin assessments. This research investigates whether generative AI can be used to synthesize supplemental data, alongside automated data annotation techniques can drive measurable improvements in the performance of Perimeter’s AI tools.

Delivery of safe drinking water is an essential public service, and distribution systems are a critical control point for the protection of public health. Distribution systems encounter issues such as aging infrastructure leading to leaks and breaks, pressure management problems, and maintaining water quality during transit to consumers. These problems collectively impact the safety, efficiency, […]

The proposed research project relates to the development of a flight simulator for the low-cost hobbyist market. The industrial partner has developed a widely-used simulator and is interested in making their simulator more independent of third-party software. This will be done by developing in-house sub-models for the flight physics that calculates the aircraft behaviour while […]

Soil and groundwater pollution with harmful petroleum contaminants such as BTEX is a global concern. BTEX has carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, therefore, it is essential to remove such contaminants for a healthy ecosystem. Microorganism-mediated bioremediation is an extremely promising technique that is cost-effective, efficient, and safe for the environment. However, limited biological knowledge about the […]

Recent studies in the field of biodiesel production emphasize the use of waste materials, such as used cooking oils and agricultural by-products like banana peels, to enhance sustainability and reduce environmental impacts. Researchers are exploring innovative methods to utilize these waste materials both as raw materials and catalysts, thereby promoting a circular economy. The latest […]
