The participants are working together to provide a novel solution to the requirement for steering antennae for satellite communications. The solution will use new integrated circuits designed to process information optically rather than electronically. The application for this work includes the provision of broadband access to remote communities. The work brings together experts from McMaster […]

The objectives of the proposed research are to design, build and test a simple but robust prototype thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system comprising an optical cavity configuration and a bifacial PV cell. As a part of this collaboration, the design and fabrication of an optical cavity-based TPV system will be done at York University. This optical cavity […]

Prototyping of HEV powertrains is cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming. Thus, design optimization is the most feasible alternative process for accomplishing a good design. This project will identify key system components and develop a high-fidelity model of the hybrid drive train capturing key dynamics. Modes such as engine mode, motor mode, hybrid-parallel mode, regenerative braking mode, […]

The purpose of this project is to perform a feasibility study on the Punnichy, Saskatchewan biomass-methane clean fuel project covering the three anchors of energy, environment, and economics. While the primary focus of this investigation is to analyze the economic feasibility of the clean fuel project, the energy and environmental implications will also be addressed […]

Ammonia is crucial for life as a primary element for fertilizer production and it is also a foundational feedstock for pharmaceuticals, dyes, and chemical synthesis. Ammonia has also emerged as an energy carrier and transportation fuel. Plasma-based reactors are potentially operated by renewable electricity sources (wind and solar), offering lightweight, flexible, straightforward on/off switch, and […]

OceanSync collects real time weather data, such as wind speed, wind direction, wave height and other atmospheric conditions on board of seafaring ships. Accurate data collection can be used to improve weather forecast, ocean/atmosphere modeling, satellite validation, climate change studies and reduce ships’ environmental footprint and transport costs. However, wind measurements made on ships are […]

Ce projet vise à contribuer au développement de biocapteur de nouvelle génération pour répondre aux exigences dans le domaine de la santé. Il s’agit de développer des outils de modélisation électromagnétique afin de mieux qualifier et quantifier les images optiques obtenues.

The Multivariate Polynomial Digital Signature Scheme (MPPK-DS) is a new Post-Quantum cryptographic scheme that relies on the hardness of solving a set of multivariate polynomials. The scheme is an ideal candidate for the new NIST call for Post-Quantum digital signature algorithms that intents to diversify the post-quantum signature standards. In this project, we will work […]

this research project aims to synthesize micro(aero)gel based composite beads with different compositions: Ti3C2Tx/Acrylic acid (AA), or Acrylamide Aam), or Sodium Alginate (SA) structures and morphologies such as composite and core-shell, using microfluidic droplet generation process for water purification. We will conduct a comprehensive study to investigate the effect of particle size, morphology (core-shell versus […]

L’étudiant étudiera l’influence de la salinité sur l’efficacité de traitement de l’azote ammoniacal présents dans les effluents miniers par les microbulles d’ozone. Cette étude permet d’avancer l’identification des facteurs qui peuvent influencer ce type de traitement qui a montré son efficacité pour le traitement des eaux minières dans des conditions climatiques froides.

Our group specializes in the design of optical fibers that can generate entangled pairs of photons when exposed to certain colours of light. As a consequence of this “entanglement”, these photons possess unique correlations that can be exploited for both quantum communications and computation. The proposed project is concerned with the design of a fiber-based […]
