The ongoing advancements in electronic equipment towards intelligence, portability, and wearability have increased demand for lightweight, flexible, and mechanically robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. There are textile-based EMI shields in the market; however, they are mostly reflection-based shields rather than absorption-based, which results in secondary pollution. As such, this research project is an initiative […]

Le sport automobile amateur est un domaine qui n’a pas beaucoup évolué dans ses façons de faire. Avec un souci réel d’innovation pour un domaine qui n’a pas encore modifié ses façons de faire, l’entreprise CAS Compétition, spécialisée dans la modification et la fabrication de véhicule de sport automobile souhaite développer un système de suspension […]

The display industry has witnessed rapid growth, in both volume and diversification. In recent years, this trend is expected to persist with continued consumer demand, for example, a wide range of devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, GPS map readers, portable DVD players, and electronic books, as well as the ubiquitous mobile phone and […]

Ce projet amorce la modernisation des approches de gestion des activités chirurgicales au sein du CHU de Québec-Université Laval. Les résultats de nos recherches contribueront à cette démarche de modernisation dans deux aspects cruciaux. D’abord, ils permettront de mitiger, voire d’éliminer les sources d’incertitude capables de perturber ou empêcher la réalisation des plan opératoires, rendant […]

One key challenge of subcarrier phase-shift keying (PSK) system using coherent modulation is the synchronization problem at the receiver because the residual synchronization error will introduce performance degradation to the system. In the proposed research project, I will investigate the effect of synchronization error on performance of SIM OWC system in atmospheric turbulence. The performance […]

The internal combustion engine will remain the major source of transportation power for decades to come. This project will focus on the control technologies related to minimizing engine-out emission and improving fuel efficiency. Through collaborative control of the engine and its aftertreatment system, an overall optimization of emission and fuel consumption can be realized. The […]

The Canadian iron industry will benefit from increasingly streamlined data to support operational decisions, particularly as their steelmaking clientele is transitioning toward carbon-neutral steel production. The iron ore required for carbon-neutral steelmaking is especially high grade, in accordance with the DRI-EAF steelmaking route. Key operational decisions include the formation and depletion of stockpiles for different […]

This project will implement a more effective way to recycle composite materials.

FONEX Data System Inc. is developing solutions to address the challenges that telecommunication service providers face in upgrading their access networks to sustain the growth in data traffic. A critical component of the solutions is low cost widely tunable laser modules. In this internship project, a novel laser source is proposed based on external cavity […]

In the modern period of the Industrial Revolution, enormous emphasis is placed on green technology, including zero or less waste production, recycling resources, and using recyclable raw materials. According to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for a peaceful and flourishing world, materials science research focuses on recovering techniques and proper waste control are essential to […]

Incorporating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar farms, have posed a challenge to electrical engineers due to their intermittent nature as the time and amount of energy generated depends on the weather. For this reason, grid stability and predicting the behaviour of renewables has been increasingly more important. In this study, we propose […]

The fast-growing market demand for food products with high nutritional qualities requires innovative and sustainable technologies. The proposed process employs an electrostatic technique to selectively charge proteins, carbohydrates, fibers, and other components in the bean flour and separate them based on the magnitude and type of their charge. The proposed methodology produces protein-rich flour from […]
