The Canadian-Chilean Array for Radio Transient Studies (CHARTS) project is a collaborative effort between the University of Toronto in Canada and the Universidad de Chile in Chile. CHARTS is dedicated to detecting and analyzing powerful extragalactic signals known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The primary goal of the Globalink research project is to develop and […]

AI Decision Support Module: An enhanced AI Decision Support Module aimed at streamlining the surgical review process through the identification of suspicious excision margins within medical imaging. Building upon an existing AI framework, which utilizes labeled data for the identification of potentially problematic regions, this project seeks to improve the model’s accuracy and reliability. The […]

There is an ongoing industry challenge to continuously improve gas turbine engine efficiency, decrease fuel consumption, and reduce emissions. Addressing these concerns involves developing advanced architectures, airfoil features, and innovative materials to improve performance, with a key focus on abradable coatings. These coatings play a crucial role in improving turbomachinery performance by acting as a […]

Arrowhead is partnering with the SAIT Centre for CERCUTS research group to develop a novel process that takes produced/waste water (PW) for the production of clean, fresh water and hydrogen using new generation Electrodialysis (ED) technology. This proposed research project aims to design, build and test a process skid incorporating a pretreatment system to remove […]

The aim of my PhD research project is to provide hand proprioception perception to users of robotic hand prostheses. To do so, we developed a system to convey information about the configuration and movement of artificial limbs via evoked sensations that target specific regions of the phantom hand, while involving no perceptible delay or surgical […]

Predictive Fire Incident Risk Scoring System aims to develop a comprehensive risk assessment tool tailored to urban neighborhoods. Utilizing a combination of Census data, historical fire incident records, building structures, and expert knowledge, the project seeks to create a predictive risk scoring system capable of quantifying the overall fire incident risk level for each neighborhood. […]

The research centers around the feasibility study of a method to detect faulty outdoor insulators and to classify the type of defects within the insulator. Every different type of defect results in a specific electromagnetic Signature that can be acquired using an antenna and oscilloscope. Using these Signatures some specific features (eg statistical or spectral […]

The research project will focus on understanding how delays in different activities affect the overall time and cost of a project. Specifically, it will look at critical activities, which are essential for completing the project on time, and non-critical activities, which have some flexibility in their timing without affecting the project’s completion date. By studying […]

The project aims to develop new flight control systems for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles, designed for short to medium-distance travel within cities. However, the operation of these vehicles, especially in Canada’s inclement weather conditions face significant challenges, particularly when flying in icy conditions, which can endanger flight safety by affecting the aircraft’s stability and […]

Le secteur agricole génère de nombreux types de plastiques résiduels selon leurs utilisations. Au Québec, un total d’environ 11 000 tonnes de plastiques agricoles sont générés chaque année, mais environ 50% se retrouve au Centre-du-Québec et ses régions voisines. L’objectif principal de ce projet est de développer des applications pour réutiliser les plastiques agricoles après […]

This project is developing an innovative tool that accelerates the design process of lab-on-a-chip devices, which are crucial for the analysis of tiny liquid samples to detect the presence of pathogens or chemical substances, a process known as biosensing. The tool employs a sophisticated algorithm that leverages data from previous designs to optimize and suggest […]

This research project is centered around enhancing the delivery process of ice stored in tanks, particularly focusing on ice slurry, a mixture of small ice crystals suspended in a liquid phase. Typically, these slurries are created from solutions like saltwater (NaCl). The primary objective is to optimize the methods for extracting the stored ice from […]
