In modern automotive engineering, vehicles are primarily designed in the virtual space to enable a rapid vehicle design process. However, this process is heavily constrained by the time and computational requirements necessary to generate the vast number of simulations needed for vehicle design. Fortunately, modern machine learning (ML) techniques may be used to dramatically accelerate […]

Atlantic Canada’s fishery industries have been identified as key sectors where market demand is expected to increase. PEI mussel and shellfish production employ over a thousand employees, and contributes in excess of CAD$60 million to PEI’s coastal and rural communities. Production of Atlantic Canadian shellfish has tripled since 1995 and is expected to continue growing […]

Metal additive manufacturing is a promising manufacturing technique that has attracted attentions in the recent years due to the ability to manufacture complex parts. During the process, metal goes through complex thermal treatment, which causes defects such as porosity and lack of fusion in the final part. Understanding the relationship between process parameters and parts’ […]

Global warming is a very concerning mater, which needs serious attention and the development of the technologies to decrease the rate of CO2 concentration increase. In this project, a solvent-based post-combustion CO2 capture process is evaluated through the development of smart models (e.g., ML) and optimization techniques (e.g., PSO). The data for the smart model […]

Circle Neurovascular Imaging (Circle NVI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Circle Cardiovascular Imaging (Circle CVI) and a joint venture with the Calgary Stroke Program, is building a software as a service business aimed at providing physicians with an acute stroke decision aid tool, StrokeSENS™ that will leverage artificial intelligence (AI), advanced image-processing, and network connectivity […]

Biomass residues from forestry operations (sawdust, bark, pulp and paper sludge etc.) have a myriad of potential applications if repurposed, however are often simply disposed of in landfills or stockpiled at sawmills. In this work we will investigate hydrothermal processing of two of the highest volume of residues produced; sludge from pulp and paper processing […]

Due to the growing number of scrap tires, its related environmental impact of improper scrap tires’ management, and the circular economy concept, devulcanization plants are growing all over the world to reproduce high-quality rubber that can be reused in high-quality tire manufacturing. Therefore, growing concerns are the effective & efficient facility layout, environmental policy for […]

Over the past years, Internet of Things (IoT) has been gradually making up essential parts of our life whether as autonomous vehicles, smart homes or other forms. The main job of IoT devices is data collection. Data collection can be considered as the building block of IoT. In the current IoT architecture, the data collected […]

The overall goal of this work is to use interactive machine learning to enhance current methods for detecting data exfiltration. This includes more efficient and scalable approaches for detecting and screening potentially malicious activities. The proposal work will proceed in two stages, first focusing on the work of the corporate data analysis team in screening […]

Burn wounds are one of the most common types of severe injuries worldwide and providing a dress to accelerate the wound healing process is a vital need. Among the materials could be used for wound dressing, pullulan, a microbial natural polymer, can be a nice candidate as an alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, pullulan’s affinity […]

Atomic Force Microscopes have gained wide acceptance as a robust tool for metrology of nanometer and atomic scale surfaces. Nonetheless, AFMs lack some key capabilities that would benefit the industries and the scientific community at large. In this project, the limited scan range (1000×1000 um2), bringing the (sub-)nano resolution AFM images into the millimeter range. […]

Le film d’huile présent entre les dents d’engrenages leur permet d’avoir une durée de vie élevée. Des études démontrent que d’ajouter des microcavités de surface sur deux pièces en contact séparées par un film d’huile aurait des effets bénéfiques qui engendreraient une réduction du frottement, donc conduiraient à des augmentations d’efficacité. L’idée principale est d’appliquer […]
