Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) continue to be one of the most common lost-time injuries in Canada and South Korea, comprising over a third of all work-related lost-time injuries. Given the continued prevalence of WMSDs despite efforts to decrease their occurrence, a new approach to WMSDs intervention is required. This research project is to validate the […]

Having robots be able to conduct visual searching of objects in their environment is an important step towards building intelligent robotic assistants. Automatic object searching is a useful tool for social, service, and search and rescue robots; such robots would be required to reason about likely locations of an object specified by a user. However, […]

The goal of this project is to propose a design of near-zero carbon footprint sustainable community within the designated area. Design constrains will include the available land, target number of housing units, target commercial space, and target emissions of CO2 and effluent water. We will consider as part of the solution: (i) energy efficient buildings, […]

Many overnight workers rely on public transit for commuting to work at night and from work in the morning. However, it is challenging to understand overnight workers’ travel patterns between origins and destinations due to their reverse travel directions compared to traditional daytime workers. This research proposes a methodology to identify the overnight workers’ travel […]

Infrastructures including buildings and bridges show dynamic behaviors due to earthquakes, wind loads, and etc. The excessive dynamic response sometimes leads to structural failure. Therefore, accurate prediction method of the dynamic response for the structures is required to secure the safety the structures. A neural network augmented physics (NNAP) model which is based on deep […]

The mitigation and utilization of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), are current global challenges. To date, there have been many attempts to reduce CO2 and CH4 with dry methane reforming methane (DMR), an eco-friendly technology that utilize CH4 and CO2 into syngas (H2 and CO). The main issue that needs […]

The main goal of the proposed project is to implement a high-sensitivity biosensor by using nanomaterials. We aim to address the current issues in biosensor technology and lead the innovative role of the international community through exchanges and cooperation between Canadian and Korean researchers. In order to achieve goals, high-quality semiconductor thin-film deposition technology over […]

An embedded electronic system with GPS and GSM modules and a unique power supply will be developed for installation on a bike frame which cannot be tampered with. The system will allow the owner to receive notifications of a theft and to track the bike’s movement and location. This information can be passed to the […]

Les caméras pour imagerie à faible flux lumineux sont utilisées tant pour la recherche biomédicale que pour l’astronomie. Toutefois, lorsque les photons se font rare, il est nécessaire de refroidir l’enceinte de la caméra à très basse température pour réduire le bruit thermique. Il faut aussi amplifier le signal grâce à l’électronique embarqué dans le […]

This project involves the feasibility study of specific community microgrid technologies for the development of a Smart Community in London, Ontario by SE2 Technologies Inc. A first of its kind, such a community will represent a learning platform for universities and other cities in Canada. The smart community will consist of a minimum of 50 […]

The main objective of this project is to provide the growing elderly population with a means of transportation, which will allow them to get around the community to perform their daily activities. This project will focus on designing a personal transport vehicle that will be safe, easy to drive, and user friendly. This vehicle will […]

Demand for environment-friendly business jets is expected to increase due to the growing number of corporations enacting environmental initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint. Yet, few realistic studies have been conducted on alternative propulsion for business jets and major R&D investments around the world are not driven by rational decision, but rather by the current […]
