The intern will investigate the architectural potential and philosophical merit of Near-Living Architecture, a design that allows environments to be aware and empathetic to their occupants. To do this, the intern will edit and contribute to the upcoming Near-Living Architecture Monograph, a written work describing the vision, execution and future applications of research conducted by […]

A collaboration between experts in the domain of drone icing. A drone rotor will be installed in an icing wind tunnel to simulate flying under different atmospheric icing conditions. The resulting ice accumulation on the rotating blades will be studied as well as its effect on the drone performances and ability to fly. Scans of […]

This project aims to develop advanced statistical methods to forecast how many passengers will be waiting at bus stops at any given time, considering various factors such as weather and special events. This project will do two main things. First, we will forecast the overall number of passengers over a given period, such as an […]

This project aims to explore the mechanical behaviors of ferroelectric polymers, focusing on P(VDF-TrFE), through atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. By investigating the frictional properties of P(VDF-TrFE) and similar materials using AFM-based methods such as transverse shear microscopy (TSM) and friction force microscopy (FFM), the project seeks to uncover the relationship between electrical polarization and […]

The proposed project focuses on progressing development of the Minpraxis Tester (MPT), which was developed to revolutionize the characterization of rock masses and improve the likelihood that mines perform as planned. The MPT provides a degree of rock characterization that is unequalled by conventional methods. The technology measures continuously along core samples, providing an unmatched […]

The proposed research project is aimed at developing an automated MRI-processing pipeline for pre-clinical neuroimaging. This pipeline will address some of the existing issues associated with current methodologies and has the potential to re-define the world of early drug development.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are a critical cardiovascular disease with a mortality rate over 80% when ruptured. With limited treatment options, especially for early-stage aneurysms, this project proposes the use of a novel therapeutic to limit growth and effectively treat early-stage AAA. The overall objective is to develop and evaluate the efficacy of stem cell delivery […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à améliorer la conception des escaliers monumentaux en étudiant leur comportement face aux vibrations. Les stagiaires utiliseront des modèles informatiques et réaliseront des essais sur de vrais escaliers pour mieux comprendre leurs réactions dynamiques. L’objectif est d’ajuster les normes actuelles pour garantir des escaliers plus sûrs, économiques et confortables. L’organisation […]

The scope of this project is the development of virtual sensors that use mathematical models along with measurements data from the Building Automation System, and can be installed in mechanical cooling systems pf large commercial and institutional buildings, instead of electromagnetic or ultrasonic water flow meters. The proposed virtual sensors would provide a low-cost, practical, […]

An emerging concept in urban transportation systems is utilization of small electric vehicles that meet the demands for enclosed personal mobility. These types of vehicles are generally small and lightweight but require much less space than more conventional vehicles such as the Smart Car. Furthermore, the vehicle is all battery electric. Recent developments have utilized […]

The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act targets net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 with similar commitments around the globe. In the short-term, emissions from heavy-duty internal combustion engines (ICEs) that dominate the power generation in freight transportation industry can either be reduced or eliminated with zero-carbon fuels such as Hydrogen / Ammonia. One solution […]
