Churchill is experiencing different types of challenges. Because of the remoteness of this place, the communication and transportation systems are very costly and challenging. Managing municipal solid waste manage is another emerging problem for Churchill community. The current waste management system in the town of Churchill is very costly, and environmentally unfriendly. Town of Churchill […]

Acrylic Robotics is a robotics startup based in Montreal, on a mission to use technology to make fine art accessible to the general public. To make fine art accessible, this project focuses on the implementation of a larger robotic arm to recreate artists’ artworks at scale. The intern will be responsible for the development of […]

Ce projet consiste en la conception, réalisation et tests d’outils informatiques servant a facilité le travail de recherche et développement de nouvelles méthodes de correction d’images digitales thermiques. Les outils crée par l’étudiant servirons à supporter les opérations d’acquisition de donnée et de calibrations et correction d’images infrarouges dans le but de les rendre visuellement […]

Nowadays, many building contractors use modular construction, where various parts of a building are partially or completely built on an assembly line and then put together on the delivery site. Building interior modules often involve building and finishing plasterboard walls, including closing joints between panels and hiding fasteners or defects. To do so, a gypsum-based […]

Climate change continues to exacerbate around the world. Capturing greenhouse gases like CO2 directly from air is becoming more and more important to reduce the magnitude of severe climate change. Efficient conversion of the captured CO2 into liquid fuels such as methanol has the potential to revolutionize green energy technologies and displace fossil fuels. Leveraging […]

Le conducteur est un élément critique d’une ligne de transport d’électricité. Il est sujet à la corrosion affectant significativement sa durée de vie. Hydro-Quebec surveille avec un vif interet l’etat de corrosion de ses 34 000 km de lignes haute tension et voudrait estimer dynamiquement l’état de cet actif majeur pour optimiser sa valeur d’un […]

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential in achieving the Paris Agreement’s objectives, reducing emissions and meeting Canada’s Net-Zero target by 2050. To this end, shallow depleted heavy oil reservoirs in Saskatchewan and Alberta provide a good opportunity for large scale CO2 sequestration projects. This research focuses on assessing the potential of CO2 storage in […]

Power systems are subjected to randomly occurring normal and abnormal events that can trigger oscillatory response creating unsafe sustained fluctuations in power, voltages, currents and the frequency. Increasing integration of power electronics interfaced renewable generation contribute to new types of oscillations due to control interactions, sometimes supper imposed on classical electromechanical oscillations. Such oscillations can […]

This project attempts to improve the interpretation of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data collected during active potash mining in the Saskatoon area Patience Lake “A” Zone stratigraphy, to map the salt-beam thickness of the roof for making more informed mine safety decisions. The aim of this project is to identify cofounding geological anomaly that exist […]

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 1 to 10 nm that show great promise for photonics, microelectronics, and fluorescent bio-imaging considering their ability to fluoresce from blue to near infrared light. In comparison to conventional quantum dots (which can release toxic metals), Si quantum dots are expected to be safer […]

Nearly a fifth (18%) of treated water entering Canadian water networks never reaches the end user. Many cities in Canada experience leakage rates of over 30%. Thus, there is a clear opportunity to implement new leak detection technologies, such as those offered by WaSave, to reduce water wastage. This project will analyse the Canadian water […]

We have looked into the CSI problem as a two-phase problem in a heterogeneous (matrix, wormhole) porous medium. If the solvent is a light hydrocarbon, this is fine. However, especially with CO2 and DME, mass transfer to and from the aqueous phase is substantial. In this project, we take advantage of our extensive experience in […]
