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 […]

Development in the fabrication of oxide nanowires used in biosensors

Detection and quantification of biological species are critical to many areas of healthcare and life science, either intending to diagnose diseases or discover and screen new medicine molecules. Central to detection are the biosensors that generate a signal associated with the selective recognition of a species of interest. Nanostructures, such as oxide nanowires with large […]

A soft magnetic small-scaled robot for biomedical applications

This study aims to develop a soft and flexible magnetic millirobot based on elastic and biocompatible polymers that can generate voltage as it moves. By using this proposed millirobot, locomotion efficiency can be increased with a decrease in resistance under challenging and harsh conditions in stomachs and digestion systems. In addition, it can serve as […]

Flame Spray Pyrolysis for Nanomaterial Based Electrodes

The research project will be focusing on the manufacturing of nanoparticles for the processing of symmetrical fuel-electrode half cells (as part of solid oxide cells). This will be conducted via flame spray pyrolysis, which uses aqueous salt solutions to produce metal oxide nanoparticles on electrolytes. Hereby, a fine mist is sprayed into a flame, which […]

Evaluation of CO2 Storage Potential in the Deep Mannville Coals – Phase 2: Horizontal Well Simulation and Use of Subsurface Coal for CO2-containing Mixed Gas Component Separation

To support blue hydrogen economy processes that generate CO2 as a by-product, and greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration studies in general, the injection and storage of CO2 into deep (~1500m), un-minable coal seams hosted in the Mannville Formation of Alberta will be studied. Using the successful proof-of-concept field injection pilot results from the first phase of […]

Encrypted Load Frequency Control in Multi-Area Power Grids

The aim of this project consists in developing a resilient control architecture for LFC problems in networked multi-area power systems able to match the power generation to the load demand and deal with the occurrence of anomalies along the network medium due to the actions of external intruders. Accordingly, the proposal will move along two […]
