There is a growing demand for accessible, affordable and high-quality houses in northern communities of Canada. The intern will study the foundation solutions used to support residential houses and commercial buildings in northern Canada. The intern will conduct interviews with many stakeholders on the foundation and house development and then develop a guide to the […]

The increased energy prices and effects of climate change are severely impacting the day-to-day lives of Canadians. Moreover, essential sectors such as agriculture release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases, adding to climate change challenges. Hence, investing in local and sustainable energy sources is more critical now than ever to reduce these burdens. Therefore, biogas generation […]

Investiguer l’utilisation d’une méthode SPH pour la prédiction des crues à grande échelle à partir des données LiDAR. Les données LiDAR sont rendues disponible par le ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec. Plus spécifiquement : 1) générer des domaines de calcul compatible avec la méthode de calcul SPH Open Source […]

Augmented reality (AR) is poised to transform human interactions. This project aims to explore the use of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for the development of compact and high-performance image projectors, also called “light engines”, for AR glasses. PICs are a type of integrated circuit that uses light instead of electricity to perform various functions, such […]

Conventional Li-ion batteries using liquid electrolytes (LEs) are suffering from insufficient energy density and safety issues when used for the flourishing market of electric vehicles (EVs). Replacing LEs with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to fabricate all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) has been regarded as an essential route to improve energy density and safety. Basically, a qualified SSE […]

This project will produce a rock launching device for curling as well as a printer that will print pebbled curling ice sheets. These devices will be used to help understand the physics of curling (which are still not understood). They will also be used to enhance the fairness of curling competitions and to help train […]

Bombardier Aerospace, Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited and Pratt & Whitney Canada have all initiated projects on Additive Manufacturing processes. Although applications are different, all companies are facing the same challenges including the lack of a mature certification path and a mature Canadian supply chain. In order to accelerate the maturation of this technology, we […]

Given the high mobility and flexible deployment of UAVs, this technology has evolved as a key enabler of several applications such as aerial cargo delivery and precision agriculture. However, with the advancement of its payload, including storage and computing capabilities, UAVs can handle critical services such as road traffic monitoring, accident prediction, and vehicular traffic/task […]

Une blessure à la moelle épinière peut entraîner des troubles neurologiques qui ont un impact important sur la qualité de vie des individus touchés comme la paralysie. L’utilisation de modèles numériques de la moelle épinière est une méthode prometteuse pour mieux comprendre comment se développent les troubles neurologiques. Cependant, les modèles existants n’incluent généralement par […]

Emulating topological phases of matter in photonic systems appears particularly promising for engineering new generations of quantum devices more resilient to noise or external perturbations. Indeed, the great versatility of these platforms could allow developing specific architectures that have no counterparts in condensed matter. The goal of this project is to experimentally explore the fundamental […]

Modern code review (MCR) is broadly adopted as an established and effective software quality assurance practice, with an increasing number of open-source as well as commercial software projects that adopt code review as a crucial practice. The MCR process is most effective when developers follow best practices, such as efficient, collaborative and timely review discussions […]

De récents changements d’orientation dans la recherche et le développement de la robotique ont conduit au développement de robots collaboratifs sûrs et intuitifs. Pourtant, ces robots sont généralement confinés aux tâches d’automatisation traditionnelles et travaillent en mode non collaboratif. Ce projet de recherche vise à étendre les capacités des robots collaboratifs au-delà des applications d’automatisation […]
