Le partenaire de ce projet, Nordikeau, est souvent approché par ses clients et partenaires qui souhaitent avoir une expertise et des recommandations en lien avec les sollicitations et offres de service qu’elles reçoivent de la part de compagnies de biotechnologie pour des mandats de bioaugmentation visant principalement le traitement des eaux usées et la réduction […]

The production of green hydrogen can alleviate the heavy burden of greenhouse gas emissions and allow the decarbonization of the industrial and transportation sectors. However, this energy carrier requires safe and economical storage solutions. An alternative and yet relatively underexplored solution is the storage of hydrogen gas (H2) in cased wells. For Quebec to become […]

Due to the unpredictable location of coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG), angiography for CABG patients costs catheterization labs additional time, poses an added risk to patients, and incurs extra costs, therefore using additional resources at Sunnybrook Hospital and at a national scale. The development of an assistive software product that helps cardiologists find free graft […]

Global warming and the atmospheric concentration raise of carbon dioxide (CO2) characterize the main environmental problems nowadays. Forestry and agriculture sectors are among the chief contributors to the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to FAO reports, agricultural machinery is responsible for over 75% of nitrogen oxides (NOx),42% of methane, and 20% of CO2. Canada […]

The proposed research aims to contribute to the development of a recycling process for waste magnets. The proposed method is based on slag treatment which is a high temperature process for separation of one element from another based on their difference in oxygen affinity. For example, the affinity of neodymium for oxygen is significantly higher […]

Le retraitement en place de type 2 est une technique de réhabilitation des chaussées qui s’inscrit dans les principes du développement durable et de l’économie circulaire. Ce projet vise à développer des outils permettant de mieux encadrer cette technique de réhabilitation dans un contexte climatique propre au Canada. Les organismes partenaires pour ce projet représentent […]

Diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, accompanied by disturbed metabolism of fats and proteins. In the present project, a non-invasive wrist-worn device (Watch HOP) will be designed and fabricated to obtain physiological data (digital biomarkers) from participants to enable the creation of an algorithm that will ultimately allow to […]

Our partner organization has developed a new type of camera, one where depth information is part of a single lens/sensor construction, meaning that there are no occlusions or shadows which plague stereo cameras, there is no requirement to light the scene as well time-of-flight cameras, and the expense is low compared to light-field cameras. Currently […]

This study will analyse Calgary Transit’s bus operations on The City’s road network. Intersections and road segments will be categorized based on Level of Service (LOS) based performance indicators such as bus travel time and schedule adherence. The outcomes of the analysis will indicate whether a particular intersection needs transit signal priority (TSP) to improve […]

Motion capture technology that uses markers attached to the body and specialized cameras has been used for research on human motion, but has been limited to laboratories with expert users. New markerless motion capture technology removes these limitations by using standard video cameras and advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, allowing us to measure motion in real-life […]

Fuel channel inspection is critical to safe operation of CANDU reactors. However, the existing techniques used to inspect fuel channels are slow. Fuel channel inspection represents a major bottleneck during maintenance shutdowns of CANDU reactors. To reduce inspection time, it is proposed to develop a robotic inspection system. Multiple copies of this inspection system can […]

Light detectors are a mature technology that we encounter on a day-to-day basis without even realizing it, such as in cameras for high resolution imaging and in satellites and dishes for communication. The ability to detect light at the fundamental limit (i.e., single photons) is critical for numerous applications in modern medicine, imaging and quantum […]
