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

The development of international standards and codes led to the creation of safe and properly designed fully cured masonry structures capable of withstanding lateral loads induced by wind or earthquakes. However, as the age of masonry plays an important role on its strength, it was reported that before it is fully-cured, masonry is vulnerable to […]

Lubricants can lose viscosity when exposed to high temperatures, leading to engine damage. Viscosity modifiers can be added to address this issue. When applying these additives to lubricating oils, it becomes vital to assess the rheological behavior. As the microstructure of these additives play a golden role in their functionality in lubricating oils, it’s fruitful […]

A membraneless electrolyzer, as the name suggests, eliminates the requirement of the membrane, and a microchannel flow-based separation of the gas products is attained to obtain pure hydrogen. Unlike PEMWE, membraneless electrolyzers have fewer components consisting of a microchannel encompassing a pair of electrodes, thereby showcasing high resiliency and increased operational lifetime. This translates to […]

The major objectives of this research are to derive the ultimate performance limits of a communication system using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), trying to reach those ultimate limits through the optimization of elements of the RIS and their configuration, evaluating the performance of physically realizable RIS based systems given practical limitations, and trying to alleviate […]

Dans la perspective de préserver les ressources naturelles non renouvelables et de contribuer concrètement à un développement durable, l’entreprise Bauval travaille assidument à la valorisation de résidus industriels, les scories d’aciérie, comme source de granulat dans la production d’enrobés spéciaux ultra-performants. Quatre (4) enrobés à chaud spéciaux de hautes technologies incorporant des scories sont actuellement […]

The structural integrity of mine tunnels is critical to worker safety as failures (e.g. rock falls) can cause injury or death. This project aims to determine whether it is feasible to automatically evaluate the safety of side walls in potash mines using the sound produced when the wall is struck by a metal bar. Previous […]

The research project promotes urban sustainability and the impact of preserving natural assets on health and the economy. It focuses on climate change adaptation and climate hazard mitigation, including, extreme heat, air quality, flooding, and high wind events. The research proposes a framework to predict and mitigate the impact of climate hazards on public health […]

Within Canada’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a pivotal goal involves taking immediate action to combat climate change and its far-reaching effects. The specified target is a 40% to 45% reduction in the country’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below 2005 levels by 2030. To transition away from fossil fuels and embrace […]

The Canadian tool, die and mold making industry had sales of $1.2 billion in 2002 that dropped by 40+% in the ensuing decade as manufacturing moved offshore in search for lower labor cost. Trade tensions, conflicts (Ukraine/Russia; Taiwan/China etc.), COVID pandemic and accompanying supply chain disruptions, increase in labour cost overseas, improved automation technology and […]

Aerial drones have been seeing a rise in popularity in a variety of domains such as shipping, search and rescue operations, and photography due to their ability to carry cameras and other packages through trajectories that avoid ground obstacles or offer an advantageous vantage point, all while allowing the operator to remain at a safe […]

In this research project, our intern team, under the guidance of academic supervisor, will focus on developing advanced power electronics converters for harnessing ocean wave energy. This technology aims to efficiently convert the kinetic energy from ocean waves into usable electrical power, contributing to a sustainable and renewable energy future. By improving the performance and […]
