In a collaborative effort to promote environmental sustainability and clean technology in nuclear waste management, Canadian and French research institutions are joining forces. The project focuses on advancing computational models to better understand bentonite clay, which is essential for safely encasing nuclear waste. The Canadian team contributes advanced computer simulation techniques, while the French team […]

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are a new type of energy harvesting device converting mechanical stimuli, such as vibration, human motion, wind, and water waves, to electrical signals through the combination of triboelectric effect with electrostatic induction. However, conventionally-designed TENGs have major challenge that includes the failure of their self-charging power and the suppression of their output […]

Dans le cadre de ce stage, nous renseignerons le potentiel porté par l’hydrothermie fluviale comme source d’énergie. Ce potentiel sera étudié en considérant le territoire montréalais comme zone d’étude et dans un contexte de transition énergétique et de lutte au changement climatique. Nous suivrons une approche méthodologique et scientifique et développerons un argumentaire visant à […]

The proposed research project addresses the critical issue of the ground responses of frozen soils in cold regions, specifically focusing on the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of frozen soils during freeze-thaw actions. During the ground freezing process, the freezing front penetrates progressively downward in soils and frost heave can be generated. Frost heave is a common cause […]

In an existing geothermal power plant found in Aydin, Turkey, three parabolic solar trough collectors have been installed to develop a hybrid solar-geothermal power plant. The main reason for such a hybridization is mainly to compensate the inefficiencies in the geothermal power plant due to changes in the ambient temperature. The parabolic solar trough collectors […]

The proposed project is centered on developing an advanced technique known as Magnetic Resonance Navigation (MRN) for liver cancer treatment. This cutting-edge method employs the magnetic field of MRI machines to create micro-particle aggregates, which are then precisely directed to liver tumor-feeding arteries using magnetic field gradients. This approach promises to be less invasive and […]

The project’s goal is to find out if the network size estimator L-OCI, designed for direct-to satellite Internet of Things LoRa based scenarios, can be extended and/or adapted to work based on LR-FHSS. We want to see if they can handle many devices, and whether this combination is good or bad for a specific problem. […]

This research will study an efficient method for extracting germanium from waste fiber optics cables. Germanium is widely used in optical fibers, infrared optics, and solar energy industry. Optical fiber is the major application of germanium. Germanium possesses various properties that can make positive impact on these fields. The demand for germanium will increase with […]

The proposed project is focused on the coordination protocols for vehicles that try to exploit a cooperative perception of the environment. The cooperative perception and sensing allow to improve the safety of autonomous vehicles over the streets. In particular, the joint use of LIDAR, Cameras, radars, and ultra-sonic sensors permits to perceive objects, obstacles and […]

In the context of an aging population, it is becoming more and more important to develop novel innovative kinds of sensors, able to detect early health changes that could potentially affect people’s health. Within this Globalink Research project, we intent to develop plasmonic based sensors, small, cheap and easy to deploy, which will be used […]

Exponential growth in the number of older adults (over 65 years) worldwide is expected to occur over the next half century. While physical mobility plays a crucial role in the quality of life and in the ability of independent living, it decreases with natural aging. This research project aims at developing a solution to reduced […]
