Ce projet de recherche, en collaboration avec Hydro-Québec, vise à mesurer l’impact dynamique de la glace sur les piliers des évacuateurs de crues et à vérifier les forces calculées selon diverses normes et guides. L’aménagement hydroélectrique de Rivière-des-Prairies a été choisi en raison de ses fréquents déversements en hiver et au printemps, qui exposent les […]

The University of New Brunswick (UNB – Canada) welcomes a student intern from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT – Thailand) to investigate chemical technologies for recycling waste plastics. The recycling of post-consumer non-compostable materials (e.g., polyester) have been identified as the next frontier to decrease solid waste. Around the world, societies struggle with […]

This project aims to explore the coalescence of gas bubbles in ionic liquids which are potential electrolytes for fuel cells. This research will be conducted under the guidance of experts from the University of Waterloo in Canada and TU Delft in The Netherlands. By joining the Mitacs Globalink program, the researcher hopes to use advanced […]

The project aims to improve how concussions in athletes are detected by using the Kinarm robotic platform, which measures sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. By analyzing data from healthy and concussed athletes, the project will develop a more accurate method for identifying neurological issues after a concussion. This will help the partner organization enhance athlete […]

This power plant project proposes a software system which assists the operator to optimize the fuel supply, storage and usage for the power plant. Interns manage to build a web-based application to monitor, record, display and forecast the state of fuel condition. Interns will use mathematical model implemented in the system to figure out potential […]

The proposed project is related to analysis and optimization of a system of potential interest to oil and gas industry in terms of oil-spill remediation. A fixed wing aircraft can be retrofitted with an oil dispersant system suitable for fast response in case of large oil-spills. This oil dispersant system is to satisfy certain requirements […]

Ce projet vise à optimiser et déployer un algorithme innovant pour estimer en temps réel le volume de bois sur les abatteuses forestières. L’objectif est d’uniformiser et améliorer un algorithme existant afin qu’il fonctionne efficacement sur un ordinateur embarqué lors des opérations de coupe. Le travail se déroulera en trois grandes étapes : d’abord, l’uniformisation […]

Remotely monitoring the heart is crucial for reducing the hospital readmission rate of heart failure (HF) patients. However, for aging populations with physical and cognitive limitations, existing monitoring techniques such as self-management or CardioMEMS remain demanding or invasive. There is a growing need for easy-to-use and non-invasive remote monitoring. Ballistocardiograph (BCG) measures the mechanical vibration […]

This research project focuses on developing an advanced light detection system for high-speed communication networks. The interns will integrate a specialized photodetector (PIN photodiode) and an amplifier (Transimpedance Amplifier or TIA), using cutting-edge (16nm FinFET) technology. The photodetector quickly detects light signals at visible frequency, while the amplifier boosts these signals with minimal added noise. […]

The project aims to innovate by applying generative AI to network infrastructure, focusing on the development of models that can autonomously design network topologies, anticipate traffic patterns, and simulate various scenarios to proactively address potential issues. This collaboration will blend Nokia’s technological strength with the University of Ottawa’s leading research to create AI-driven network solutions. […]

The project relates to the fabrication of polymeric devices capable of mimicking that of live human tissue under x-ray computed tomographic (CT) imaging. These devices must be fabricated in such a way that specific material properties are controlled to thereby precisely mimic the desired tissue. The work following this will benefit the partner organization as […]

C-FER Technologies, specializing in advanced engineering solutions, primarily focuses on addressing industry challenges through rigorous testing and research in harsh operational environments. This project specifically engages C-FER’s expertise in high-pressure hydrogen testing and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) to tackle the pressing issue of hydrogen embrittlement in pipeline steels. By simulating extreme conditions, the partnership aims […]
