We have developed a device that is rapid, sensitive and adaptable to performing multiple assays to detect chemicals, biologicals, non-biologicals, salts, metals and pathogens to mention a few. Activity involved in this project will model the behaviour of sensors to better understand the output sensitive to the analyte of interest and the sensor configurations. This […]

This research addresses the vibration performance of mass timber floors, which is crucial for their structural design and maximum allowable span. As mass timber construction is relatively new, there is a lack of specific design guidance, especially for floors with beam supports and concrete toppings. Our goal is to assess the vibration serviceability of a […]

The present project introduces the fabrication of a portable 3D printing apparatus based on a newly developed technology called Direct Sound Printing (DSP) for 3D printing of materials such as Silicones and PDMS that cannot be printed by any other existing technologies unless changing their composition by using additives that can make the material toxic […]

Excessive use of antimicrobials results in the evolution of antimicrobial resistant microbes, and the infection caused by such microbes are known as antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections. AMR infections are on the rise and has a negative impact on the quality of life, healthcare system and ultimately on the economy. The current proposal aims at the […]

The Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance commits to export clean Canadian hydrogen by 2025. It is critical to evaluate the life cycle carbon emissions associated with hydrogen transmission at sea. In this project, we will focus on analyzing ammonia as a hydrogen carrier for the shipping purpose. A sensitivity analysis will be conducted to evaluate the life […]

Pathfinder365 is a digital community marketplace that focuses on the tourism sector. By harnessing the collective benefits of an interactive two sided marketplace, a map interface, a dynamic suite of features and tools, and an algorithm-free environment, Pathfinder is positioned to become the most influential digital aggregator for the micro-tourism industry. Pathfinder is in its […]

This project seeks to contribute to the global cardon emissions reduction agenda through the use of alternative sources of fuel that do not produce carbon emissions. In other words, this approach is known as “CO2 avoidance” through the use of carbon-neutral fuels. The production of biofuel, namely bioethanol using edible feedstock has raised serious humanity […]

In this work we seek to deploy a web app to help orthopaedic clinicians all around the world analyse 3D ultrasound (US) volumes of hips to more accurately diagnose developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants. We intend to develop and evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) models capable of segmenting relevant hip bones from 3D US […]

Les vitrines technologiques sont des outils précieux pour les entreprises, offrant des solutions innovantes qui améliorent leur performance et leur compétitivité. Elles favorisent l’innovation en exposant des avancées technologiques de pointe. En adoptant ces nouvelles technologies, les entreprises peuvent augmenter leur productivité, réduire les coûts et améliorer la qualité de leurs produits ou services. Les […]

Suite à une panne du réseau électrique, les principaux équipements des ménages voient leur consommation énergétique s’accroître pour combler le déficit accumulé pendant la panne. Par exemple, les équipements de chauffage et de climatisation s’activeront à pleine puissance jusqu’au rétablissement des températures de consigne. Il en résulte, au niveau du réseau de distribution, une demande […]

In this project we will study distribution problems arising when time-sensitive information needs to be collected and handled appropriately. These problems arise as a business need of our partner organization to support the decision systems of several customers that require fast and reliable optimization methods to design distribution plans under tight time considerations. Either the […]

The global push to decarbonise our energy system and all its related processes has stirred up a great interest amongst researchers and scientists to devise ways and means of improving processes that heavily rely on fossil fuels. The use of renewable sources to make chemicals and materials has received considerable attention as this alternative approach […]
