The state-of-the-art polymer electrolyte fuel cells have catalyst layers (CLs) made of platinum catalyst on carbon support (Pt/C) bound together by proton conducting polymer or ionomer. To overcome the challenges of high cost of Platinum catalyst and corrosion of carbon support, alternative materials for catalyst and catalyst support are being considered. The interaction of ionomer […]

NeoCtech is a cleantech company producing critical rare earth metals from recycled waste magnets with an electrified, clean and green process. This project is about the development of an viable and sustainable process to separate rare earth elements with neutral CO2 production and significantly less consumption of environmentally detrimental chemicals.

The increased pressure of natural resource depletion and environmental issues have largely promoted the search of renewable energy sources such as solar energy. Solar energy can be converted to electric power through photovoltaics (PV), but this requires PV panels and the latter have efficiencies as low as 20%. An alternative way is solar heating systems […]

Reinforcement learning has caught significant attention in the past decade with landmark successes including deep Q-net applied to video games and AlphaGo for the game of go. However, the gap is still wide when it comes to application to real world problems mainly due to high training cost. We propose to develop a digital model […]

Annually wildfires result in considerable losses in British Columbia, in Canada, and in the world. The problem has been aggravated in recent years worldwide due to global warming. Wildfires affect the ecological balance of the planet and can have serious consequences for people, property, and critical infrastructures in the neighbourhood of the fire. This project […]

The AquaDaf® is a high speed clarifier for the treatment of surface water with algae. The objective of the project is to perform a laboratory study permitting the optimization of the treatment of cyanobacteria with Aquadaf and in particular to establish a protocol to compare the removal rates of cyanobacteria by flotation and to verify […]

Climicals développe une solution de conversion des sucres contenus dans des déchets alimentaires en molécules clés pour la chimie verte et la production de différents plastiques biosourcés. Climicals souhaite développer une solution à faible impact environnemental en s’assurant que son approvisionnement, ses procédés de conversion et ses débouchés induisent bel et bien une réduction d’impact […]

SCG Industries is a Saint John, N.B. based environmental remediation company which has done work all over North America and in the Caribbean during the last 30 years. The company uses advanced penetrative site characterization tools to delineate the extent of subsurface contamination, then builds and deploys, or simply deploys remediation equipment and teams to […]

Digital twin technology creates a digital replica of a physical object, such as a human, device, system, or process that mirrors the actual process with full knowledge of its historical performance. It has the advantage of enabling agility and convergence of understanding to support more effective decision-making and resource allocation optimization. Aleo Canada (noted as […]

Le professeur Patrick Boissy et son équipe à l’Institut interdisciplinaire d’innovation technologique (3IT) utilisent pour des fins de recherche en actimétrie, diverses centrales inertielles permettant de mesurer l’orientation de segments du corps humain et d’estimer l’amplitude et la variation des mouvements. Ce projet vise, entre autres, à supporter ces recherches en maximisant la précision de […]

In this project different UHPC mixes will be proposed and tested for mechanical and physical material properties when subjected to extreme cold temperatures. The mixes which meet the required properties and are most economical will be used for further structural wall panel testing and will be proposed to the company. The proposed concrete mix will […]

Ce projet porte sur le développement de méthodes et stratégies intelligentes pour la gestion énergétique, la recharge et la gestion thermique pour les véhicules sport récréatifs ou véhicules tout terrain VTT. Le projet cherche entre autres à améliorer les performances du système et à faciliter la transition des véhicules actuellement propulsés par moteurs à combustion […]
