Seasonal and environmental allergies are estimated to affect approximately 15% of the population in North America, leading to more than 3 million missed workdays per year with annual costs exceeding 8 billion dollars. Allergy symptoms from pollen or dust mites include sneezing, nasal congestion, and watery eyes, but in severe cases, asthma attacks may be […]

This project focuses on improving the component quality after Laser Beam Machining (LBM) for HS188 (AMS5608), a superalloy critical in aerospace and power generation due to its high strength and corrosion resistance. LBM often leaves a recast layer, a residue of resolidified molten material on the side edges, which weakens the material’s strength and corrosion […]

Check fraud continues to be a substantial challenge in the financial sector, involving the unauthorized use of checks for illegal fund acquisition. To address the issue of fraud detection, specific Artificial Intelligence models, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have been increasingly applied to classify checks as fraudulent or legitimate. However, there is a crucial aspect […]

This project aims to enhance subsea video quality for improved underwater visual inspection and analysis, crucial for industries like offshore oil and gas, marine research, underwater construction, and maritime security. Leveraging advanced AI and machine learning techniques, we will address challenges like water turbidity, light attenuation, and visual distortions in underwater images. Through the Lab2Market […]

The “Drone-Based Search and Rescue (SAR) System in Dense Forests” project aims to transform SAR operations using a coordinated swarm of drones equipped with advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms. These drones, launched from DJI dock stations and connected via Starlink satellite technology, will efficiently locate missing persons in densely forested areas. By processing […]

Non-renewable fossil fuel derived plastics are ubiquitous in modern society, leading to negative environmental impacts. Urgent action is needed to reduce our societal reliance on these plastic products. The use of bio-based and/or biodegradable thermoplastics such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) could be a potential solution, however these materials typically have limited mechanical strength, hindering their […]

The proposed research aims to advance energy storage technology by improving the cyclability of silicon-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Silicon anodes offer high theoretical capacity but face issues such as volume expansion and capacity fade. The project will explore substituting pure silicon with a silicon-carbon alloy core, hypothesized to enhance cyclability due to its amorphous […]

In response to this urgent need, FireBozz seeks to develop a specialized sprinkler head tailored specifically for wildfire suppression, aiming to revolutionize firefighting strategies and enhance community resilience. FireBozz, a leading provider of rapidly deployable […]

La recharge de batterie ou encore l’alimentation continue d’appareils/engins sans fils et éloignés de toute source électrique ou solaire, comme dans le cas d’applications dans le domaine spatial, sont de véritables défis. L’usage couplé d’un émetteur laser et d’un photo-transducteur (PPC) pour transférer de la puissance sur de longues distances est une solution potentielle intéressante. […]

Electric vehicles have been a focal point of sustainable transport planning in recent years. Technological advancement, environmental concerns, and supportive policies have created momentum for a global transition to electric vehicles. It is a vital step for the mitigation of climate change and a reduced fossil fuel dependence. There is an increased emphasis on the […]

The project determines the limitation boundaries of single sensor measurements by assessing the accuracy of a rocket’s kinematic parameters—such as speed, turn rate, and acceleration—based on the precision of individual sensor measurements. This involves evaluating whether these parameters can be accurately measured or estimated using each available sensor while considering the rocket’s dynamic behavior. Additionally, […]
