Le projet consistera en la programmation d’un ordinateur embarqué roulant sur Linux devant assurer le suivi des signaux vitaux (humidité, pression, puissance optiques et températures) d’un laser en opération dans l’espace ainsi qu’au contrôle de certains modules de distribution de puissance électrique. Au-delà de la programmation du FPGA, le projet consistera aussi en la fiabilisation […]

Delayed coking is an integral process in upgrading heavy, unusable crude oil to lighter, usable products such as gasoline. Coke drums are insulated, vertically oriented cylindrical pressure vessels that facilitate such a process. Due to the process of delayed coking, these drums are subjected to cyclic thermal-mechanical loading and episodes of thermal shock. One of […]

This project aims to develop a standard that relates the loss of functionality in the porous transport layers (PTL) due to the presence of defects to the performance of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell. This work attempts to screen defects in the PTL using previously developed testing protocols. Currently there are no existing protocols […]

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the world. One person dies in Canada every five minutes from heart conditions, stroke, or vascular cognitive impairment. There have been 2.6 million CVD-related hospitalizations in Canada between 2007 and 2017. CVDs alone cost totaling $21.2 billion a year in direct (medical) and indirect (lost […]

Decentralized P2P energy trading using blockchain technology has been the top research and development subject around the globe during past years, especially in the presence of large-scale integrated RESs. The blockchain-based applications could facilitate the energy transition and paradigm shift in energy and pave the way for reaching future net-zero smart energy systems. The main […]

This project is investigation of conventional air vehicle localization using GPS and mobile networks and verification on that their weaknesses in the accurate and seamless localization can be supplemented or strengthened by future quantum sensor-based localization to discover a new blue ocean in the mobility industry.

The project aims to advance clean energy technologies by addressing critical challenges in photocatalytic hydrogen generation using TiO2 nanomaterials. While TiO2 demonstrates strong photocatalytic abilities, harnessing solar energy for renewable energy production, it faces obstacles such as high recombination rates and slow kinetics for hydrogen evolution, necessitating the use of metal cocatalysts. Single-atom (SA) decorated […]

This project is developing a decision-making tool to help small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in Canada and Mexico use solar power more effectively. This tool considers not just saving money and the environment, but also safety for workers and the community. By working together, researchers in Canada and Mexico will improve this tool and share […]

Wearable devices are a promising technology for collecting and analyzing physiological and environmental data for various applications, including healthcare, sports and fitness, and occupational health and safety. In some settings, these wearable devices can also be integrated with actuation capabilities to interact with users. The proposed research project focuses on applying wearable technologies to thermal […]

This project is an undertaking in coordination with Minerva Canada, some of its industry partners and seven Canadian universities which aims to address a gap between industry and the graduates of engineering programs in terms of attitudes, knowledge and applied skills pertaining to health & safety in engineering practice. Upon completion, the project’s end product […]

The proposed REM project aims at developing and installing a highly iconographic solar charging station that will help inspire and foster the expansion of local infrastructure for electric vehicles at York University. This effort is part of a plan to use this innovative solar charging station to offset the electrical needs of EVs and most […]

Canada stands well positioned to becoming a commercial leader in sustainable materials, especially when based on the waste of our natural resources like forestry pulp. A flowable bioplastic being developed at Agapyo, came out of the research at McMaster University and promises to replace petroleum-based plastics meant for structural applications. Agapyo and McMaster are working […]
