The goal of the project is the development of copper for Rapidia’s innovative paste extrusion process. Copper is a highly sought-after material with unique properties that has a wide range of applications in various industries including biomedical, electrical, manufacturing, and energy storage. The ability to 3D print copper parts on our system will thus have […]

This project deals with the continuation of a project at Concordia University in 2020 via Mitacs Globalink research award. The project investigated different manufacturing scenarios of a thermoplastic skin/grind structure using automated fiber placement (AFP) in the Concordia Center for Composites labs. The thermoplastic skin/grin structure was successfully fabricated via AFP in-situ consolidation. Now, this […]

More than half a million people die every year from complications of seasonal influenza, and vaccination stands as the most effective method to prevent and limit outbreaks of the disease. Cell culture processes offer a more flexible and responsive alternative for the current egg-based vaccine production systems. Intensification of cell-based vaccine manufacturing focus on the […]

Les portes palières sont des portes automatiques, souvent vitrées, que l’on retrouve en bordure de voie au niveau des quais des stations de métro. Elles permettent de séparer physiquement les quais et la voie de métro, dans le but d’empêcher toute intrusion non désirée. Ces portes sont conçues pour s’ouvrir uniquement lors de l’embarquement et […]

ClairiTech Innovations est impliqué dans la conception, le développement, la fabrication et la vente d’équipements de traitement d’air pour les marchés résidentiels depuis plus de trente années. Dans le cadre de la conception de la seconde génération de notre système de ventilation double noyaux à récupération de chaleur et d’énergie, la phase finale du développement […]

A web task is defined as the set of services, sessions, and sequence of interactions that are required to perform a certain user objective. The current Web tasking model does not consider user preferences and context when executing a Web task. The proposed research project aims to improve the experience of Web users through personalization […]

The objective of this project is to better understand the impact prevalent mental health challenges have on cognition. For this pilot study, neurophysiological electroencephalography (EEG) will be investigated in three different mental health population groups: those suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Portable EEG will be used to assess […]

The objective of this project is to improve long-term planning of Alberta’s electricity system infrastructure in collaboration with an industry sponsor, Alberta Electricity System Operator (AESO). The project aims at engaging stakeholders in a regional planning exercise in southern Alberta by a detailed exploration of their perspectives when evaluating energy system alternatives. This was identified […]

It is imperative to have sustainable infrastructure that emits as little greenhouse gases as possible by 2050 in order to reach net-zero emissions. The key component of this strategy is development of CO2 capture units, as well as the use of renewable energy sources. By incorporating renewable electricity to meet the energy demand of high-temperature […]

The proposed work under this award program involves fabrication of functionally graded B4C particle reinforced AA6061 metal matrix composite through stir-centrifugal casting technique. Subsequently, the deformation behavior and fatigue failure analysis of the fabricated composite will be carried out. The 2D microstructure, constituent phases, particle distribution, and gradient will be revealed by light and electron […]

The objective of this internship is to develop a multidisciplinary collaboration to better understand the complex factors that influence industry adoption of fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) tools for commercial buildings. More specifically I will focus on how interface design influences usability and perceived usefulness, and how information from FDD tools ultimately lead to fault […]
