In partnership with Antek Logistics Inc, the project will investigate how computer vision algorithms can help automate day-to-day operations in a warehouse. Novel algorithms will be developed to automatically identify and count pallets and containers within the warehouse for inventory tracking. We will also develop algorithms to detect damage severity on incoming pallets. The project […]

The intern will undertake a project which analyses several drainage structures of an experimental green roof while developing a numerical model to mimic the experimentally obtained results. In addition, the intern will also be involved in working on an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan, and low impact development methods. The partner organization will benefit by having […]

In agricultural watersheds, many meandering rivers were straightened and several rectilinear ditches were added to the drainage network in order to evacuate water as quickly as possible in the spring to improve farm productivity. The design of these modified channels was not based on natural river dynamic concepts, which include both discharge capacity and sediment […]

Nanocellulose is an emerging sustainable Canadian nanomaterial with potential applications in a range of industries. This collaborative project between the Cranston group at UBC and Anomera Inc. aims to enhance Anomera’s nanocellulose product, Dextracel, through a straightforward water-based surface modification route. More specifically, we will increase the stability of Dextracel, improve the compatibility of Dextracel […]

We’re revolutionizing the future of food by producing sustainable, mushroom-based protein. Traditional protein sources are resource-intensive and less eco-friendly. Our innovation lies in utilizing agricultural waste as feedstock to cultivate high-quality mycoprotein, essentially turning waste into a value-added product. Utilizing cutting-edge bioreactor designs and process optimization techniques, we aim to make this production scalable and […]

Rapid urbanization has triggered a global surge in the construction of high-rise buildings, necessitating their robust designs to withstand the impact of natural hazards, such as earthquakes and strong winds. In response to this challenge, innovative strategies are being explored to mitigate the deformations and accelerations imparted on high-rise structures by these natural hazards. One […]

The proposed research investigates the effects of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as a means of flexural reinforcement for glulam beams. Engineered wood products (EWPs) such as glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) allow for wood to be used in a larger array of applications. Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) can be used as a method […]

The proposed project aims to develop and validate new knowledge, technologies and engineering tools aimed at identifying and mitigating geological hazards encountered on deep mass-mining projects. Deep mass-mining is key for delivering the copper and other critical minerals needed for the transition towards clean energy and electric cars as near-surface resources are depleted. The proposed […]

Wireless technologies offer new opportunities in the field of telecommunications and computer networks. Wireless sensor networks are a new technology that has emerged after the great technological progress in the development of smart sensors and powerful processors. The city of Trois-Rivieres is currently in the heart of a project to develop a smart public lighting […]

The purpose of this 4?month internship is to scale?up the bionanofluid production at McGill University and then transfer this process to Leap Medical Labs for commercialization. At McGill, this will involve the design and implementation of 2 new reactors, as well as testing, optimization and validation of the various process parameters. Once the scale?up is […]

In recent advancements, researchers are leveraging deep learning and machine learning for improving medical care, particularly within the veterinary field. The development of smart, wearable biosensing devices, equipped with non-invasive sensors and integrated with machine learning algorithms, facilitates real-time health monitoring. Continuous monitoring of health data through these devices offers valuable insights into adverse health […]

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is the occurrence of blood clots in the deep veins of the lower legs, occurs in 10 million people annually and leads to death in 1 out of 4 people globally. The risk for developing DVT increases exponentially with age, two-thirds of all patients are >60 years of age. Post thrombotic […]
