The project will be to build out the Android version of the Kwickadee dating app currently available on iOS. This will encompass a wide variety of feature sets including onboarding, login, profile creation, matching, date location selection, date setup and more to come! This will be a huge benefit to the partner organization as there […]

Using fossil fuels in building heating systems is greenhouse gas (GHG) intensive, leading to global warming. Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are cleaner electric alternatives to fossil fuel systems. They utilize and transport heat from the ground to warm buildings. However, prolonged use of GSHPs can lead to a phenomenon known as thermal imbalance, which depletes […]

Recent advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have enabled visualization of iron and myelin in the brain using a method that can measure the effects of MRI field changes. The physical property measured is called magnetic susceptibility, which can visualize iron accumulation in the brain and also myelin which is a wrapping around nerves. The […]

As the demand for healthier and ‘clean label’ food products is ever increasing, there is a need to develop novel food processing methods to address the risks associated with food safety while ensuring sustainability. Cold plasma activated water (PAW) and plasma activated mist (PAM) are gaining attention for potential applications in food products as a […]

Le présent stage de recherche a pour objectif d’explorer la conception et l’étude d’un capteur microfluidique à résonateur micro-ondes dans le but de caractériser et de détecter des liquides. Ce stage s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche doctoral mené par le stagiaire à l’Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), en collaboration avec une […]

There is a need to develop renewable fuels derived from biological sources that have chemical properties that are similar to petroleum-derived fuels. We are investigating the use of chemical building blocks made by bacteria that may be used as fuel additives to improve the cold weather performance of biodiesel, or directly as fuels if chemically […]

Environ deux tiers des blessures à la moelle épinière touchent la région cervicale, causant une tétraplégie. Au Canada, 40 000 personnes ont une fonction de bras et de main réduite à cause de ces blessures. Même si certains conservent un mouvement volontaire partiel, la récupération est souvent limitée. Les nouvelles technologies neuroprothétiques cherchent à améliorer […]

The project objective is to design and manufacture ultrasonic sensors capable of operating at temperatures up to 800 oC. Such transducers can be affixed to hot piping systems and pressure vessels in petrochemical plants, electrical power generating stations, and manufacturing plants. These sensors can then provide continuous information to the plant operator regarding the onset […]

Bolted joints are the most common interface in PWC’s gas turbine aeroengines and are believed to be a significant source of structural damping in the system. However, very little is known about the actual mechanisms at play in the joints. By conducting a systematic bolted flange research program, experimental data on bolted joints and engine […]

La réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre des navires est un enjeu important auquel fait face l’industrie maritime. L’utilisation de techniques de navigation écoénergétique permet notamment aux armateurs de réduire de façon significative leur consommation en carburant fossile. Toutefois, l’évaluation de l’efficacité de ces techniques est ralentie par le manque de données […]

This research project aims to enhance the feeling of touch in artificial limbs and robots through a cutting-edge solution called biomimetic electronic skin. Existing touch technologies are limited, and this study is set out to make them feel more lifelike for amputees and more capable for robotic systems. We are developing an efficient electronic system […]
