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 […]

The electrochemical decarbonation (ED) of limestone is a novel disruptive technology with the potential to promote deep decarbonization of the cement industry, which emits about 8% of carbon dioxide global emissions. ED uses water electrolysis cells to precipitate Ca(OH)2, which has been used as an alternative raw material for Alite synthesis, the main clinker compound. […]

Conception spécifique de pièces ou d’assemblable pour la fabrication additive pour des machines automatisées d’emballage et analyse poussés de propriétés physiques de matériaux granulaires.

Energy use in buildings is among the largest energy users, accounting for about 13% of the total energy use and over 12% of the total CO2 Omissions in 2020 in Canada. The buildings sector is viewed as one with the potential for significant CO2 emission reductions by transitioning from the current fossil fuelled energy systems […]

Le projet vise à moderniser et améliorer les outils numériques utilisés par Hydro-Québec pour prévoir la demande en électricité au Québec et mettre en oeuvre des stratégies d’autocorrection. Les développements attendus per-mettront d’augmenter la capacité de maintenance et d’amélioration de ces outils par Hydro-Québec, et de les rendre plus efficaces. Hydro-Québec sera ainsi plus à […]

Thermal fatigue is a problem that can happen when making metal products using a certain tool. The tool gets extremely hot when the metal is poured in, and then it cools down quickly when the metal hardens. This can happen over and over again, and it can make the tool break or not work as […]

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a complicated electrotherapeutic medical procedure which provides irreplaceable therapies and treatments for several nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. Advancements in the electrodes designs will improve the delivered therapy and enhance the efficacy of the DBS system. The objective of this project is to begin preliminary designs for deep […]

Canada, Mexico, and United States are members of a free trade agreement (USMCA), which seek to build stronger local supply chains and stimulate financing in strategic industries, such as lithium batteries, semiconductor chips, and green energy sources. Because, due to the pandemic situation and the reduction of chips production, companies, and government from USMCA are […]

The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) is a global collaboration of financial institutions that aims to develop and promote a standard methodology for measuring and disclosing greenhouse gas emissions associated with their lending and investment portfolios. Although the financial sector gradually accepts this standard, practitioners still face several implementation challenges. In this project, we […]
