The government of Canada has been developing the Clean Electricity Regulations, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions to 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. One main sustainability goal in the global power sector is to generate clean electricity using renewable energy sources. Hydro, Newfoundland and Labrador’s primary electricity generation […]

This project focuses on developing an advanced DC power converter to improve the efficiency and operational time of underwater drones, which are essential tools for monitoring and managing marine environments. By addressing the limitations of conventional converters—such as energy losses, component stress, and bulkiness—this project aims to enhance battery performance and support longer missions in […]

This work suggests an innovative microfluidic approach for complex biological sample separation, emphasizing the need for methods that enhance efficiency while considering the delicate nature of such samples. This project aims to deploying a continuous, portable microfluidic sorter that can effectively process heterogeneous organoid samples, enhancing throughput and preserving sample integrity. The findings will contribute […]

Optimizing an interaction to achieve the highest possible performance is desirable for many applications. For instance, even minor improvements in the mapping between a computer mouse’s movement and a cursor on a screen can significantly enhance comfort and usability. Similarly, better mapping an operator’s joystick inputs to crane movements could boost productivity. Both examples emphasize […]

The amount of emissions to the atmosphere is currently an important environmental concern as policy makers and Heads of State are starting to demonstrate a strong interest in energy efficient transportation, in particular energy efficient aircraft. However, current autopilot technology will often not take into account the energy used to perform a given maneuver which […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Dual Axis Solar Tracking System for Marine Environments is a project that aims to integrate a solar tracking technology onboard a marine vessel. By integrating 2 different tracking methods in one system for improving the efficiency of tracking, further leading to improvement in energy production, this project aims to make this technology economically and technically […]

AgriTech North is a social enterprise Beneficial-Corp (B-Corp) producing fresh produce year-round, contributing to the resolution of food insecurity throughout Northwest Ontario. They are focused on local production with limited transportation requirements, a longer shelf life, and lower carbon footprint. AgriTech is engaged in the development of new vertical greenhouse technology to enable sustainable operation […]

The project is about removing noise from video signals (for example, those taken by a mobile phones or professional cinema camera). Our current software first detects the type and power of the noise and based on that remove the noise from video. This proposal has three objectives. The first is to handle a specific type […]

The project aims to identify eco-friendly organic molecules to be used as copper corrosion inhibitors for water cooling towers, which are crucial for heat management in facilities like hospitals and factories. Currently, toxic nonenvironmentaly- friendly chemicals are used to manage corrosion in water cooling towers, which pose environmental risks. The intern will collaborate with TGWT, […]

La technologie des ‘sound zones’ (zones sonores, ou zones d’écoute privatives – ZEP) fait partie de la catégorie globale des technologies d’écoute personnelle, qui permet aux gens de créer des expériences d’écoute individuelles. Par contre et par rapport aux technologies basées sur les écouteurs, les zones sonores n’exigent pas que les personnes utilisatrices en portent […]

Quand une goutte d’eau tombe sur une structure, elle produit du bruit. On veut se concentrer dans ce stage sur les signaux sonores liées produits lors de l’impact de gouttes sur la structure solide, et l’extraction d’informations pertinentes concernant la force d’impact de la goutte. L’objectif spécifique est de déterminer si, en partant d’une mesure […]
