The motivation for our project is to address the growing concern about construction waste and its environmental impact. By finding efficient and environmentally friendly recycling methods for composite construction, we can reduce waste generation, conserve resources, and minimize the construction industry’s carbon footprint. Our approach involves conducting technical, environmental, and economic assessments to identify the […]

Designing built environments is a complex process that involves generating and evaluating alternative solutions using computational tools. In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, designers use generative design methods to explore a larger number of alternatives and ML-driven rapid performance prediction to identify potential issues early on. However, separating these tasks hampers creative flow […]

My project aims to complement the Toi, Moi, Bébé (TMB) program with a Virtual Reality (VR) system. The TMB program aims to prevent perinatal mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, by reducing experiential avoidance and improving self-soothing capacities, which are ideal targets for a VR system. Different applications will be developed for each component of […]

Atlantic Business Express is looking at bring the service robots to Canada, starting in Nova Scotia through working with Dalhousie University. Many commercial robots that the company currently own, do not offer open architecture integration with new modules and only provide an interface which is not compatible with many devices for further development. The objective […]

Carbon nanopearls are an exciting novel class of materials that present unique characteristics, and they turn out to be an excellent alternative to carbon nanotubes for different applications. Presently, they are experimented with success as material for cold cathodes for electron?beam based instrumentation applications and they can be used for the development of polymer nanocomposites […]

On cherche a prevoir via l’intelligence artificielle (IA) comment un groupe d’equipements de moyenne tension appele « paste satellite » va alimenter en electricite son secteur de distribution pour les prochaines heures et jours. Le comportement d’un poste satellite est defini par trois unites de mesure qui sont la puissance active en megawatts (MW), la […]

The goal of this research The system will be designed to intelligently propose redactions for court officers to examine, thereby integrating human oversight with advanced technological capabilities.is to engineer an intuitive and user-friendly system capable of automatically scrutinizing and eradicating confidential information contained within refugee court files in Canada. By leveraging cutting-edge language processing and […]

Les turbines renversées en céramique sont développées dans le but de réduire la consommation énergétique des avions et autres plateformes aériennes. Pour améliorer leur efficacité, il est important de comprendre comment refroidir adéquatement l’anneau de composite structurel. Cette recherche vise à comprendre comment le refroidissement affecte les performances de la turbine. Les participants vont alors […]

The pyrolysis of methane offers the potential for an affordable and clean route to hydrogen production. The reaction is endothermic and requires energy input, which must be provided without emissions if the process is to be CO2-free. One option is to use electricity provided from clean sources. Resistive heaters are challenged by low heat flux […]

This project seeks to develop a system to accurately identify car-following (CF) and lane-changing (LC) behaviors using trajectory data from the pNEUMA dataset, an urban trajectory dataset collected from drones. Previous methods relied on fixed thresholding or manual labeling to separate the phases of a vehicle’s trajectory (CF or LC), which can be time-consuming and […]

The essence of the project is to create an adaptive electrically controlled prosthesis for a child’s hand. The prosthesis should be able to be resized for the patient at the stage of computer-aided design. To realize this, it is proposed to create a parametric model of the prosthesis in a CAD system. Also, during the […]

The goal of this project is to fabricate biocompatible, magnetic inks for 3D printing of structures that offer controlled motion by weak magnetic fields for various medical benefits such as increased imaging contrast, magnetic guidance and positioning of the structures. This has potential applications in regenerative medicine, such as smart implants, 3D printing of tissue […]
