The research problem of interest to EssilorLuxottica and to be addressed in this Mitacs Accelerate project with two M.Sc interns is the user experience of people who wear glasses in dynamic mobile contexts. Its significance for Canadians who wear glasses is due to the reality that smartphones have become an essential tool for interacting with […]

MAE Robotics Inc. is working on a unique robot system called Captive Trajectory System (CTS) for supersonic wind tunnels. The robot will move aerodynamic models and prototypes inside the tunnel to measure and simulate their motion trajectories. This research project will focus on developing and implementing the appropriate robot control architecture, various redundancy resolution schemes, […]

Design of many new products, including transportation vehicles to wind turbines to artificial heart valves, relies on simulation of fluid flow through and around objects. With advances in computational hardware and software, such simulations have become increasingly accurate and reliable. However, these simulations can still be very slow, or even completely fail to produce a […]

This project supports relationship development with First Nations communities in British Columbia to facilitate collaboration on a larger flood-risk reduction project, which focuses on integrating Western expertise in architecture, engineering and social science with Indigenous Traditional Knowledge to create a new, collaborative approach for flood risk reduction in Indigenous communities in Canada. Relationship building prior […]

This project seeks to play a role in making fusion energy a reality, a big step in energy decarbonization. The project is in collaboration with General Fusion, based in British Columbia, where a fusion reactor is being designed, based on a spinning cylinder of liquid lithium which is mechanically collapsed around a plasma to produce […]

L’industrie minière est un secteur manufacturier clé pour le Québec et le Canada qui doit constamment améliorer sa compétitivité, notamment par des investissements permettant le contrôle des opérations. Un équipement important et très énergivore dans le procédé de production de dioxyde de Titane est le four à arc électrique de réduction du minerai d’ilménite. Ce […]

The proposed project will be a collaboration between the Ottawa (ON) based integrated circuit (IC) company, Power Integrations Inc. (PI) and RIGA lab at University of Manitoba, Winnipeg (MB). The result of the research project will be transferred to the IC design team in PI to integrate power semiconductors, gate drivers, controllers company to identify […]

Le projet vise à comprendre le processus de mise en production des poutrelles, d’identifier les variables qui influencent la décision de mise en production et de prédire cette décision chez le groupe Canam pour contribuer à la mise en place d’un système intelligent pour l’automatisation de la mise en production des poutrelles. Il s’agit également […]

Increasing industrial interest in biobased polymers to replace traditional plastics is on the rise. Bio- sourced alternatives still experience challenges that require resolution prior to their being able to fit into existing infrastructure and replace petroleum plastics in the market. This project will address the processability of a lignocellulosic thermoplastic to facilitate injection molding.

This project is primarily focused on virtualizing wireless access network so that multiple operators can share the same physical resources while being able to stay isolated from each other. The basic idea is to allow wireless access points from different operators form a single virtual access point that efficiently manages its available resources. The goal […]

The proposed research aims to find the optimal application rates of liquid chemicals which are applied to a road surface before and during a snow storm. These chemicals are used to accelerate the melting of snow and ice. The effects of various factors such as traffic, pavement temperature and other environmental factors on the performance […]

Le stage proposé d’une durée de 4 mois a pour objectif d’aider notre entreprise à maximiser l’exploitation de ses données, en particulier celles concernant les différents entrepôts canadiens. Les missions principales du stagiaire se diviseront en deux catégories : la réalisation de modèles de données et des tâches stratégiques. Dans la première catégorie, le stagiaire […]
