Detection of “Stray Clays” from Borer-Mounted GPR Data in Potash Mining

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 […]

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of silicon-based quantum dot nanoparticles

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 […]

WaSave – Canadian Market for Water Leakage Detection Systems

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 […]

Développement d’un système THz automatisé de contrôle de la qualité

Aujourd’hui, le processus actuel de contrôle de la qualité dans les industries alimentaires et de l’électronique imprimée ne répond pas parfaitement aux besoins des industriels. Le plastique, à titre d’exemple, est un contaminant qui est très nuisible et complexe à détecter pour les industriels du secteur alimentaire avec les technologies actuelles. Au cours des deux […]

ML enhanced magnetic noise modeling for quantum magnetometry

Magnetic field sensing is intrinsically sensitive to its environment. In this project, we are developing compensation tools to mitigate against different types of magnetic noise to enhance the accuracy of a quantum magnetometer and of a platform including multiple magnetometers. Data will be collected at various magnetic characterization facilities to inform a ML based correction […]

SSE_Frédéric Monette-Réseau Environnement-Julie Wadoux – Mise en œuvre de la Stratégie québécoise d’économie d’eau potable

La Stratégie d’économie d’eau potable 2019-2025 a été lancée le 22 mars 2019 lors de la Journée mondiale de l’eau. Cette nouvelle stratégie, qui a été développée et qui est portée par l’ensemble des partenaires, comprend des outils plus complets permettant de brosser un meilleur portrait de l’utilisation de l’eau potable et du coût des […]

3D printing of thixotropic hybrid siloxanes for transparent applications

Hard and transparent 3D printing materials are in demand in applications such as durable device passivation and transparent architectures. To replace 3d printable glass or ceramic, which has the disadvantage of undergoing high-temperature post-treatment after printing, the study of hard, transparent, and thermally resistant 3D printing materials will be conducted in this project. To achieve […]

Levage de charge vertical efficace à l’aide d’aéronefs à voilure fixe attachés par câbles et d’actionneurs magnétorhéologiques

Une approche alternative aux hélicoptères pour lever des charges est d’utiliser des aéronefs à voilure fixe autopilotés qui effectuent un vol circulaire au-dessus de la charge. Celle-ci peut donc être levée par les câbles liant la charge aux deux avions avec une efficacité dépassant cette des hélicoptères par un facteur 5. Le présent projet vise […]
