Climate change is a critical problem for society that is linked to all parts of our lives, and transport is one of the biggest sources. One major influence on transport emissions is where people live, as it affects vehicle ownership and distances driven. This project will examine how people consider transport when deciding where to […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de développer une approche d’intégration de données provenant des nuages de points et des images dans le but d’obtenir un modèle 3D précis, complet et texturé. Le modèle 3D ainsi permet d’effectuer une inspection visuelle immersive à haute résolution et de procéder à des analyses structurelles précises assurant un suivi […]

In the proposed project, the intern will do a thorough environmental assessment of different activewear textiles. The methodology used is called life cycle assessment, and allows quantifying various environmental impacts (e.g. climate change, water use, impacts of toxic chemicals) among the entire supply chain (resource extraction, textile and cloth production, transportation, retail, consumer use of […]

PulseMedica is developing the OSNAT 800, a medical device that enables precise, controllable vitreoretinal laser surgery. One of the major competitive advantages of the OSNAT-800 is its ability to offer clinicians precise control over the various aspects of the lasers. This control will result in a significant improvement in patient outcomes due to increased surgical […]

The objective of this project is to conduct a feasibility study and build a business case for the design and deployment of an electric energy storage inftrastrucutre from renewable and mostly solar energy sources. The feasibility study will follow a thorough benchmarking and evaluation study of the various existing choices an select the one(s) that […]

Carbon dioxide and methane are two dominant green-house gases responsible for global warming—a topic of major concern nowadays. Efforts are intensifying in both academia and industry all around the world to come up with innovative and cost-effective solutions to combat global warming. One such effort is Carbonova’s technology that transforms carbon dioxide and methane into […]

Post-combustion CO2 capture is widely recognized as the most feasible approach to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels as it can easily be retrofitted to existing facilities. The existing aqueous amine absorption technology has shown promising performance but also the challenges associated with the mass transfer, kinetics, and amine degradation persist. The careful engineering of […]

This project aims to evaluate environmentally friendly supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction and fractionation processes to obtain essential oils from Canadian hops and mint to better serve the industry and consumers. Using current extraction methods, the yield and purity of the extracts obtained are compromised, as well as its volatility for further use in food, […]

The proposed research is for the intern to work with BlueMind Inc. to gather and build data on different types of insurance client scenarios. Once this data is aggregated the intern must work with the organization to clean, organize and label the data. Finally, the outcome of the project should be AI models based on […]

Copper is typically extracted from secondary sulfide minerals using heap leaching, a relatively low-cost hydrometallurgical technique. In this process, leaching solutions are irrigated on top of a packed ore bed and percolate through the porous materials. Fe(III) is required as an oxidant in the extraction process and must be continuously regenerated to sustain the reaction. […]

The purpose of this project is to design and fabricate a compact optical component that will be used in tandem with a display panel to use in Head-Up Display systems. The essence of the optical component design is the use of microlens arrays. Microlens arrays are thin, usually planar lenses composed of much smaller lenslets […]

La problématique que le projet veut résoudre est la réduction de la vitesse sur le réseau routier et la sécurité de tous les usagers. 30% des accidents fatals sont dû à la vitesse et 82% arrivent sur les routes secondaires. Un véhicule équipé d’un limiteur de vitesse actif à la capacité de réduire significativement les […]
