Based on current and potential client feedback, our project is focused to develop a modern data pipeline for data cleaning, validation and audits. We also focus on helping clients who are interested in investing in certain portfolio companies who wish to evaluate the ESG performance of a company which might not have a system that […]

This research project, conducted by McGill University in collaboration with Heritage Standing Inc., aims to preserve the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Saint John, New Brunswick. The cathedral, a heritage-designated site, faces structural challenges due to aging and past interventions. The focus will be on the main tower, analyzing its current condition, especially concerning […]

On a global scale, there’s a big effort to set ambitious goals for cutting down on the amount of carbon emissions we release into the atmosphere. To achieve this, we need to upgrade and expand our electrical grid so it can handle the increased use of electricity in various sectors. The problem is that there […]

Le projet de recherche proposé consiste en le développement d’un nouveau produit de litière pour animaux valorisant les boues de désencrage (BD) résiduelles provenant des procédés de fabrication et de recyclage du papier. Ce projet s’inscrit clairement dans la volonté du collaborateur INTERSAND de diminuer son empreinte écologique liée à l’utilisation de bentonite non biodégradable […]

Le projet est une continuité des efforts de recherche en collaboration avec d’Hydro-Québec (H.-Q.) ayant pour finalité d’améliorer la durabilité des installations hydro-électriques via une connaissance plus juste et étendue du comportement en fatigue des métaux. Le contexte est plus particulièrement focalisé sur la tenue en fatigue des roues de turbine qui sont des assemblages […]

In this project, we plan to address the specific application and problem that TeTechS Inc is facing at this stage of its product development of photoconductive antennas, which is using its photoconductive antennas for characterizing performance of quantum cascade lasers (QCL) in time-domain measurement setup by demonstrating the capability of its proprietary terahertz sensor technology […]

Aqua-Cell Energy Inc., the partner organization, is developing low-cost long-duration saltwater flow batteries (LDSFB) that utilize safe chemicals and have a unique design. The technology being developed can enable large amounts of energy to be stored at a low cost. The research being performed by the intern, which would be supported in part by the […]

Finger-jointed lumber made from reclaimed and recycled lumber cut-offs/waste will be manufactured and used to produce mass timber panels (i.e., cross-laminated timber (CLT)). The mechanical properties of these panels will then be measured. The project therefore consists of two phases. The first one will focus on assessing the mechanical properties of the finger-jointed lumber made […]

Emissions from the buildings sector account for over half of Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions, of which about one quarter is attributed to the city’s ~32,000 small commercial buildings. To meet the City of Toronto’s Net Zero by 2040 target, these buildings must be retrofitted and electrified. Small business owners are uniquely positioned for decarbonization with […]

This research project is dedicated to advancing seismic analysis practices for geological structures. The primary objective is to develop a suite of reliable and user-friendly modeling tools to enhance our ability to predict and mitigate the effects of earthquakes, particularly focusing on soil liquefaction. This involves robust numerical implementation of an advanced sand constitutive model […]

This research addresses the issue of self-tapping screw (STS) failures resulting from the swelling of mass timber products during the installation process or service. STS is a common type of fastener used for connecting timber members. Since mass timber products are relatively new, there is a lack of specific design guidelines for STS in the […]

Une quantité importante de matières organiques résiduelles, issues de diverses sources telles que l’agriculture, l’industrie agroalimentaire, et d’autres secteurs, est générée dans la région d’Abitibi- Témiscamingue. La valorisation de ces déchets au sein des processus de production favorise l’intégration de l’économie circulaire, visant à rendre les processus industriels durables et respectueux de l’environnement. La réutilisation […]
