Bio-Brick Labs manufactures concrete and natural stone replacements for veneers and rainscreen applications. The material is made of 85% recycled material, captures CO2, and requires no heat, high-energy machinery, or exotic materials to make. This results in a carbon-negative product during the lifespan of the material. This project aims to evaluate the in-service performance of […]

La transition énergétique au Canada va nécessiter une augmentation importante de la production électrique en faisant appel notamment aux sources d’énergie renouvelable. Bien que bénéfique, l’introduction à grande échelle de ces nouvelles sources de production compliquera la tâche des planificateurs et opérateurs du réseau électrique. En effet, ces spécialistes doivent réaliser des simulations par ordinateur […]

This project seeks to fully develop Copsys Intelligent Digital Skin (CIDS) technology, elevating it from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to market readiness. CIDS, a novel paint-based digital technology, aims to revolutionize corrosion and asset integrity management across various industries. It integrates impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) within a coating, marking a significant innovation in […]

We aim to evaluate a virtual reality (VR) application and refine another VR prototype design to reduce social anxiety. The first application is a virtual forest where users can navigate through a calming forest and engage in activities like guided meditation and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) exercises. We will evaluate the usability of this application in […]

La direction des Eaux Usées s’occupe le Service de l’eau ayant pour mission de fournir de l’eau potable à la collectivité montréalaise, de gérer les eaux pluviales et d’assainir les eaux usées pour assurer la santé et la sécurité publiques et protège l’environnement, maintenant et pour les générations futures. Le système SICOS (Système Intégré de […]

The aim of this project is to develop a wearable device, called ImpactSense, to help measure performance on walking tests specific to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and/or Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The proposed research will investigate whether the sensor can be used to understand the: 1) effects of distracted walking, such as walking while […]

In Canada, ensuring clean and safe water while promoting environmental sustainability is a top priority. While wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been playing a crucial role in public health and environmental protection, but their operational efficiency still needs to be improved. To this end, this research project focuses on harnessing the power of data-driven modeling […]

The main objective of this research is to calculate Control performance standards in an interconnected power system without running the time domain simulation. Using a faster approach which requires probability distribution of load change. PSCAD and PSSE simulation tools will be used to carry out the research. System identification technique will be used to estimate […]

This study addresses the challenge faced by children with severe motor impairments in acquiring proficient powered wheelchair (PW) skills for independent locomotion. Traditional means, such as joysticks, may not be suitable, prompting exploration of brain-computer interface (BCI)-based PWs. However, limited research exists in the pediatric realm due to developing brains and a lack of tailored […]

Non-compressible hemorrhage accounts for high mortality globally. Traditional tourniquets and wound dressings cannot apply to the internal and non-compressible bleeding sites. Currently, transfusion of blood remains the clinical “gold standard”, but has the issues of limited availability, short shelf-life, and high cost. There is an unmet need for the prevention or point-of-care treatment of non-compressible […]

Addressing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation is critical for Canada to meet its climate goals. Batteryelectric vehicles are expected to make a substantial contribution to this goal. Manufacturing and end-of-life disposal of the batteries results in significant greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding the state of health of the batteries can keep the batteries in the vehicle […]

The project presents an opportunity for a Canadian company (SALT Inc.) to partner with a Canadian university research team to develop cost-effective technology to solve an important environmental and health-related problem, while contributing positively to Canada’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gases. The Wood Buffalo Bioreactor Landfill Project is estimated to reduce 253,134 tonnes of CO2 […]
