The proposed internship, developed between the University of Waterloo and Philip Beesley Architect Inc. (PBAI), will develop and validate prototypes for novel expressive interactive sculpture environments. The work incorporates human perceptual studies and machine learning techniques for generating models for perception and generation of affective expression within experimental architecture and installations, and systematically deriving the […]

This research focuses on recycling polyamides, especially polyamide 11 (PA11). Our goal is to study the effect of recycling processes on the thermal properties of PA11 by different techniques using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This research project has the potential to set up new possibilities for improved methods of recycling by providing critical insights into […]

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening medical condition, and it remains the primary reason for premature death (persons aged 25–64) worldwide. Therefore, early screening of cardiac biomarkers is critically important for improving survival chances. The existing methods for detecting cardiac biomarkers are multi-step approaches and require laboratory tests, which have higher test times, are […]

In response to the growing complexity and volume of legal contracts, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and accuracy in drafting processes. This research proposal pivots towards automating language models to summarize existing agreements, with a specific emphasis on data cleansing and summarization of contracts. The proposed research explores the […]

Ce projet vise à développer une voie éco-responsable de production de Nb et Ta pour leur application dans les produits de hautes technologies, y compris les batteries pour VE et hydrogène vert. Ce projet de recherche se concentre sur la production d’oxydes de niobium et de tantale à partir du gisement du projet Crevier qui […]

Ce projet représente le développement d’une technologie de séparation des gaz par membrane. Cette technologie nouvelle sera basée sur le concept de membranes à matrices mixtes qui a fait l’objet de travaux récents à l’Université Laval. Ces travaux portaient sur la conception de mélanges de polymère avec des particules inorganiques et organiques capables de séparer […]

This study proposes a new signal optimization technique that can help reduce crashes at intersections. Using data from sensors installed at the intersections, vehicle trajectories can be used to identify near-misses that would provide insight into crash-risk. By quantifying the crash-risk using extreme value models, a crash-risk metric is derived that can be used to […]

This project aims to develop tools that will actively monitor the electric grid and identify ways to resolve issues more quickly using detailed data from metering devices. By doing so, the project will assist utility companies in gaining an improved situational awareness of the power grid. The power grid has become increasingly complex due to […]

INLAN is pushing the boundaries of today’s asset-tracking solutions by innovating a highly scalable real-time asset-tracking technology. Implementation cost, tag cost, and system accuracy are the three primary parameters that need to be considered when evaluating an asset-tracking system. Obtaining high level of accuracy however, comes with several technological difficulties, among which the multipath effect […]

La mesure de pression artérielle en continue et sans brassard est largement convoitée par le milieu clinique. Ce stage permettra de contribuer à une preuve de concept qui pourrait permettre cette mesure. Plus précisement, ce stage consiste à développer l’electronique permettant l’acquisition des données provenant de différents capteurs utilisé dans une telle mesure.

Dans le contexte actuel de changements climatiques et de réduction des gaz à effet de serre (GES), les municipalités québécoises doivent intégrer des matériaux plus respectueux de l’environnement dans leurs projets d’infrastructures routières. Pour les aider à sélectionner ces matériaux, le projet vise à développer un outil d’aide à la décision qui leur permettra de […]

Oats and faba beans, often wasted in current processing methods, can be transformed into valuable food products. This can increase their economic potential and lessen environmental impact. Our proposal breaks down crop residues into sugars and lignin. Sugars are fermented into single-cell protein, while lignin is converted into vanillin. This vanillin, combined with sugars, produces […]
