Expanding the product spectrum of anaerobic digestion for a circular economy

Canada has enormous potential to recover renewable energy and chemicals from over 18 million tonnes of waste generated annually while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with landfilling that account for 13% of national methane emissions. The proposed project will develop the fundamental science and technologies needed to realize sustainable waste to chemicals manufacturing […]

Détection radar des mouvements humains en présence d’artéfacts environnementaux

Ce projet vise à mettre au point de nouvelles méthodes d’intelligence artificielle pour améliorer la détection de chutes à l’aide d’un radar. L’utilisation d’un radar permet la détection de chutes dans un domicile tout en protégeant la vie privée des personnes grâce à l’absence de prise d’image et ne nécessite aucun capteur porté. Cela permet […]

Agro materials derived nano activated carbon for absorption of heavy and toxic metals from Industrial effluents

Our goal is to achieve environmental sustainability while facing severe resource constraints (including a lack of financial resources, skilled labor, and available power sources) by using innovative and non-conventional technologies. Agricultural products have been demonstrated to be an effective alternative to conventional treatment systems for the adsorption-based removal of hazardous heavy metals such as chromium […]

A Window into the Mind at a Price You Can Afford: Developing an Online and Offline Pupil-Size Analysis Plug-in

We will harness the power of Mirametrix eye-tracking technology to offer a viable means of probing internal mental processes that were previously intractable without more expensive or invasive techniques. Through the innovative application of popular statistical methods and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, we will produce a software plug-in capable of online and offline pupil size […]

Soil-reinforcement interaction of a novel type of geogrid-geotextile composite for road applications: Experimental and numerical studies

Incorporating geosynthetic layers on top of the subgrade layer provides more stability and serviceability. That becomes a must when the subgrade layer is classified as a problematic soil. With the traditional method, two layers of geosynthetic are adopted: a geogrid for reinforcement and a geotextile for filtration. Placing these two materials in this manner is […]

A Lipo-Polymeric Approach to Breast Cancer Gene Therapy

Nucleic acid-based therapies such as DNA and siRNA has equipped us with the freedom to customize in our battle against specific cancers and other diseases. Especially the non-viral approach to deliver the therapeutic nucleic acids in a clinical setting provides a safer alternative to the viral gene therapy systems. However, to achieve a clinically relevant […]

Chitosan-Based Nanofragrance for Sustained Scent Release

An ideal fragrance carrier system should not only be safe but also allow for a prolonged release of fragrances over time without affecting the overall performance of the perfume. However, very little progress has been made to improve the formulation of perfumes despite the size and high social status associated with the market. My project […]

Design of an efficient DOCSIS 3.1 upstream cable modem termination system receiver operating in OFDMA and S-CDMA modes

The widespread availability of broadband internet has transformed Canadian life. However, the increasing volume of data traffic strains the “last mile” access networks that deliver broadband internet to individual premises. The cable industry has responded with updates to the dominant standard for cable modems (CMs) and cable modem termination systems (CMTSs), known as DOCSIS. The […]

Étude d’un site décentralisé de gestion des matières résiduelles organiques. Cas de La Centrale Agricole.

Ce projet de recherche vise à étudier la performance environnementale et économique de certaines activités de La Centrale Agricole. Cette coopérative regroupe des entreprises œuvrant dans le domaine de l’agriculture urbaine. Cette évaluation permettra de comprendre si la gestion des matières résiduelles dans un site décentralisé, c’est-à-dire à l’endroit où est générée la matière permet […]
