The proposed project focuses on demonstrating the impact of high-resolution strength measurement of samples from a copper porphyry deposit using the Minpraxis Tester (MPT), which was developed to revolutionize the characterisation of rock masses and improve the likelihood that mines perform as planned. The MPT provides a degree of rock characterisation that is unequalled by […]

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT), a structural analog of carbon nanotube, has emerged as a key-enabling material in various fields of extreme/major science thanks to its transformative properties such as high oxidation resistance, high specific mechanical strength, piezoelectricity, and high neutron shielding capability. To harness its unique properties, it is essential to fabricate macroscopic BNNT articles […]

This project is a collaboration between Korea’s Soongsil University NDT Lab and Canada’s Waterloo University Computer Vision for Smart Structure Lab (CViSS), aiming to promote new research at each institute and build smart construction and infrastructure monitoring. NDT Lab focuses on developing non-destructive engineering technologies for concrete internal crack width, reinforcing bar diameter and internal […]

Intelligent health-conscious battery management system (BMS) and advanced battery thermal management systems (BTMS) are essential to improve performance of energy utilization, safety, and cycle-life. Improvement in the energetic performance on all these levels encourages integration and development within the full thermal installation. This project will look at Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)-based intelligent state estimators […]

In Canada, the transportation sector accounts for 25% of all emissions. Hydrogen fueled vehicles is one option that has a great potential to reduce Canadian and global CO2 fuel emissions. This research project investigates production parameters that influence hydrogen storage capacity in storage materials in order to optimize the production process and increase the hydrogen […]

The project will support technology innovation for an assistive device to treat plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopthy more quickly and easily. Affecting more than 15% of the general population, these indications have significant affect on health and wellbeing including occupational, physical and mental health. Recovery is lengthy, re-occurance is common and treatment is not standarized. […]

Dans le but de manufacturer est d’amener un premier produit sur le marché, AWL-E cherche à développer un BMS avec un système de communication intégré, sois un système de gestion d’une batterie […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris par l’étudiant durant son déplacement au Canada visera à produire des nanocomposites cellulosiques pour le champ d’application diélectrique par impression 3D sur une durée prévue de 4 mois. Ce projet vise à répondre à trois questions scientifiques : 1-Évaluer l’imprimabilité 3D de nanocomposites à base de nanocellulose dans une matrice […]

The research project has the objective to evaluate how tool wear, adhesive type and adhesive application impact the manufacturability and bonding performance of finger-jointed (FJ) Douglas-fir lamellas. These will be assessed by measuring the mechanical properties, characterizing the surface quality and determining the initial friction. The experimental design will be conducted in both industrial (FJ […]

This research project aims to develop a secure and user-friendly database system for sensitive Indigenous data using blockchain technology. The project will explore how this innovative technology can enhance data security, privacy, and control for Indigenous Nations, while adhering to OCAP (ownership, control, access, possession) principles. The intern(s) will engage with stakeholders, assess the feasibility […]

En partenariat avec le laboratoire en aquaponie de la compagnie ÉAU (Écosystèmes Alimentaires Urbains), le projet vise à développer des outils d’optimisation mathématique permettant de minimiser les coûts financiers et environnementaux de fonctionnement tout en assurant la résilience du système en prenant en compte les diverses contraintes présentes. Le stage considère la modélisation mathématique des […]

Crane structures are used to lift heavy equipment, goods or machinery. While different crane types exist, an overhead crane is primarily used in industrial facilities. The overhead crane structure comprises the following essential components: crane bridge, rails, crane runway girders, crane supporting columns, bracing system and crane foundations. Different types of loads need to be […]
