This particular research project will be carried out to design and analyze district energy system options for multi-residential buildings and townhouses. District energy systems are centralized energy plants used to generate cooling, heating, electricity and other useful outputs, in a combined manner. Their implementation to the existing utility infrastructure strengthens the resiliency and reliability of […]

Le Conseil des Atikamekw de Wemotaci (CAW) au Québec et la Chaire de leadership en enseignement en foresterie autochtone (ci-après CLEFA) de l’Université Laval collaborent depuis 2019 afin de définir une vision atikamekw de la gestion des forêts. Cette collaboration a conduit à un constat important : il est essentiel de déployer des efforts particuliers […]

This project explores the feasibility of creating a printed circuit board (PCB) to serve the physical layer (PHY) functions within a WDOCSIS prototype. Rather than approaching this from a technical standpoint, we adopt a strategic perspective to drive product innovation. Our approach encompasses three key components: We will create a PCB that seamlessly integrates physical […]

The proposed MITACS internship project is an extension of an existing research collaboration in advanced aerodynamic flow control concepts with electro-fluidic actuators between École Polytechnique de Montréal (Polytechnique) and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-K). The former party is responsible for wind tunnel experiments and the latter party for advanced flow simulations with a […]

Thin film transistors (TFT) are widely used in many devices such as displays. There is also a need for TFTs that can be integrated into the back end of the line for CMOS devices, logic, memory, and imagers. In order for TFTs to achieve this integration, a detailed understanding of defects in their metal oxide […]

Cellulose derivatives can undergo various chemical reactions, resulting in materials with better processability and broader applicability. For instance, incorporating cationic or anionic functional groups into these materials enhances their solubility. However, when combining different components to create a product or during the processing, understanding the properties of the modified materials is crucial for predicting behavior […]

High performance carbon fibre thermoplastic composites are experiencing a strong growth in demand. These materials often come in the form pre-impregnated carbon fibre rolls. The impregnating resin being a thermoplastic polymer, the rolls can be stored at room temperature for an indeterminate time. The fabrication of the pre-impregnated thermoplastic composite generates wastes in the form […]

RAYHAWK has an autonomous solution for opening and closing railcar lids are actively working to expand their capabilities. Railcars are not standardized and all Railcar Top Objects (RTObjects) include lids, lid strappings, latches, latch seals, and walkways which make for expansive railcar configurations that need be supported in future solutions. The key challenge to expanding […]

High-purity nano alumina (HPA) has diverse applications in batteries, LED lights, semiconductors etc. In recent decades, several methods have been developed to produce highly reactive and pure alumina at nano scale. Amongst them, microwave (MW) assisted-based methods have been considered promising. The MW-assisted method can avoid the challenges of other methods by enhancing the energy […]

The concept of Thermonalysis came from direct interaction with restaurant owners. A clearly identified problem is the current process of recording temperature and time readings of their food products. Monitoring food temperature is a critical step in ensuring customer safety. The current process of monitoring food temperature involves staff manually taking the food temperature and […]

L’exploitation d’une mine souterraine est sujette à d’importantes contraintes: l’espace de travail réduit, la distance parfois très élevé au minerai et le besoin de renforcer ou de supporter le massif rocheux. C’est sur ce dernier point que porte la présente recherche. Le choix d’un support de terrain approprié repose avant tout sur la bonne compréhension […]
