At the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), we take climate action seriously. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manage greenhouse gas emissions globally. We know that the world can’t get to net-zero starting from ground zero – so we provide the know-how to […]

Video surveillance on mobile platforms such as school buses and public transit systems is increasingly important to ensure the safety of the public and the drivers. These systems are typically equipped with various sensors, e.g., GPS and accelerometer. In this project, the intern will develop a pattern recognition algorithm for our partner organization to fuse […]

The growth of underground seasonal thermal energy storage systems has been relatively slow due to limited understanding with regard to optimal system design for different locations and building/community archetypes. Thermal interactions between underground storages and the surrounding strata as well as the effects of seasonal changes are not entirely understood making the development of optimized […]

This project will be used to assist the mining industry in predicting the best possible practices for designing and operating mines. By developing an understand of how comminution tests represent the machinery we can predict what is required to breakdown the raw rocks from the ground into valuable products we can make mining both more […]

The agricultural industry is adopting new technologies in many practices, including automation of routine practices such as milking in dairy or harvesting fruits. These innovations require the development of sophisticated machines and image processing algorithms associated with. This proposed project aims to develop the technology that allows design of a machine and associated algorithms to […]

Le projet a pour but ultime de développer un procédé de fabrication à grande échelle de rubans supraconducteurs avec une robustesse améliorée. Il est attendu que ces rubans supraconducteurs pourront être utilisés dans une multitude d’applications en énergie, médical et recherche fondamentale. Par exemple, ces rubans supraconducteurs seront utilisés pour construire des aimants supraconducteurs très […]

Modern vehicles demand compact, lightweight, and high performing gyroscopes to accurately track their orientation and motion in real time. Traditional optical gyroscopes based on lasers and fiber optics offer exceptional performance, but are too large, heavy, and expensive for compact vehicles like unmanned drones. Compact, lightweight, and inexpensive micromechanical gyroscopes suitable for cell phones perform […]

The objective of the present project is to develop the necessary tools for the optimization of the manufacturing of large size forged ingots made of high strength steels used in the transportation and energy industries. The project will analyze all the manufacturing steps including, ingot casting, open die forging and quench & temper steps. For […]

Whether for climate change reasons or the recent geopolitical situation, the electrification of various sectors of the worldwide economy is taking place at an accelerating rate. The technologies needed for such evolution rely heavily on electric motors and power electronics devices that must offer higher performance while costing less and consuming less electricity. The development […]

The number of structural assessment and evaluation projects in Canada is growing due to the aging of the existing infrastructure and the need for extending the service life of critical structures. Current practice utilizes simplified, rather conservative methods of assessment that do not typically yield optimized decisions regarding the safety condition of the existing structure […]

Membranes are becoming the dominant technology in treating drinking water and wastewater. Membranes can be made in various geometries, but hollow fibers are the preferred form factor; they can be packed more efficiently, reducing the plant size and they are often easier to clean than alternative geometries. Nevertheless, during use, membranes will become fouled, which […]

Notre projet de recherche consiste à développer des bétons d’isolations à partir des fibres de jute recyclées. Il faut savoir que les fibres utilisées sont issues du recyclage des poches de jute. Après leurs utilisations, les poches de jute sont jetées dans la nature et considérées comme déchets. Ainsi, les poches de jute sont récupérées, […]
