In this project, we focus on a composite wearable system that combines a kirigami pattern with fabrics with the goal of realizing a wearable garment that can morph and conform to human body parts. Preliminary results have shown challenges on the fronts of manufacturing and attainable performance, i.e. the integration of the textiles and the […]

The proposed research project involves developing machine learning models to predict the mechanical properties of polymer composites. The interns will collect and preprocess data from various sources including open-source databases and conducting extensive experimental tests, build artificial neural network (ANN) models using advanced algorithms, and validate the accuracy of these models using test data. The […]

The proposed project intends to generate a method for identifying weeds and develop site-specific weed control prescriptions for sugarcane cultivations in Costa Rica using Remote Sensing techniques. Remotely sensed data will be captured using multispectral camera and LiDAR sensors attached to Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). Images will be processed using machine learning algorithms to […]

Turbulent entrainment denotes the spatio-temporal process by which turbulent flows expand by incorporating ambient fluid into the primary turbulent flow, e.g., the growth of a volcanic plume with distance from the crater or growth of a jet of pollutants being discharged into the atmosphere or hydrosphere. This research aims to investigate the effects of free-stream […]

De plus en plus de stratégies nationales de développement hydrogène voient le jour, et dans ce cadre, Artelys participe à un projet de recherche porté par un consortium international dont il fait partie « Hydrogen and Climate Partnership » (H2CLIP). Le projet vise à modéliser et étudier le future de l’économie de l’hydrogène, et plus […]

A new aqueous rechargeable battery combining an intercalation cathode with a metal anode has been developed recently. The energy density for a prototype battery is comparable or superior to commercial 2 V rechargeable batteries. There is a need to further improve the cycle performance and to reduce self-discharge effects of this battery. In this proposed […]

Small unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly being used in a wide range of surveillance applications, such as wildlife or crop monitoring. A key limitation restricting broader application is their limited endurance. This project deals with the determination of the flight characteristics of small unmanned aerial vehicles used for aerial observation. A better understanding of those […]

Many organisms, such as bone, depend on fluid-filled network structures for cellular transport, signaling and mechanosensing. Bone is made of a network called the lacunocanalicular network (LCN), which consists of lacunae that house osteocyte cells connected together by a network of 300-nm wide canals called canaliculi. An understanding of this vast network is incredibly important […]

Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) have negative impacts on human and ecosystem health as well as the potential to develop antimicrobial resistance which is projected to result in 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Some examples of CECs include antibacterial agents, artificial sweeteners, and pharmaceuticals. Recently, the presence of these CECs has been found widespread […]

Sugarcane is native to the warm temperate, tropical regions of the world and is highly weather dependent. Recent climate change has hampered its growth, resulting in reduced yields, forcing farmer to adapt different practices in Costa Rica. There are four main phenological and development stages in Sugarcane. This project is focused on the maturation process […]

Les PME manufacturières du Québec sont en constante évolution et doivent faire preuve d’agilité pour se démarquer de la concurrence. La personnalisation des biens, une technique de production couramment utilisée au Québec, est un des moyens empruntés pour faire sa place dans un marché compétitif. En revanche, la mise en production de produits hautement personnalisée […]

The proposed research project focuses on improving winter wheat production in Northwestern Ontario, a region with a short growing season and unpredictable climate. Farmers must select optimal planting dates for winter wheat for maximum production and it is challenging due to the number of growing days and planting depth before winter. Hence, the project aims […]
