This project provides key elements that would help create a transactive energy framework testbed. The testbed is expected to be used for analyzing different market and business models which facilitate increased participation of the end-users, improved efficiency in the grid and optimal usage and distribution of the energy present in the urban neighbourhoods. The work […]

This research project aims at improving the recovery of precious metals from fine-grained resources using ultra-fine grinding process. The project involves testing three different ore samples to quantify the benefits of HIGmill grinding on mineral recovery. A comprehensive HIGmill model for optimization purpose will be developed based on bench-scale tests. The developed HIGmill model could […]

L’ataxie de Friedreich (AF) est une maladie génétique qui se traduit par des troubles moteurs importants. La progression de la maladie cause chez les patients des difficultés à coordonner leurs mouvements en raison de la mort prématurée des cellules nerveuses qui contrôlent l’équilibre et la coordination. Le principal outil pour quantifier l’atteinte neurologique comporte plusieurs […]

The project concerns the development and validation of a distributed multi-objective optimization algorithm for the economic dispatch problem (EPD), guaranteeing an individual optimization that leads to the global optimization of the system. The algorithms to be developed is based on the multiagent framework. Many distributed optimization techniques had solved the original EDP, i.e., minimizing the […]

In this project, we would like to develop an enhanced Haptics Virtual Reality Ground Control Station (Haptics VR-GCS) to control an aerial vehicle using a virtual controller defined within the virtual environment. Such an advanced portable Haptics VR-GCS system is important to lower pilot workload and increase situational awareness. In the first place, the stand-alone […]

La manipulation d’objets translucides et/ou déformables demeure un défi important pour les robots d’aujourd’hui et cela limite significativement le potentiel d’automatisation d’une panoplie de procédés industriels. Par conséquent, les petites et moyennes entreprises qui composent avec de telles pièces sur leurs chaînes de montage doivent souvent se fier sur des opérateurs humains pour manipuler et […]

The Optical Transport Business Unit of Lumentum Operations LLC is an Ottawa-based R&D operation with interest and experience in the design of Wavelength Selectable Switch (WSS) products for application in optical fiber communications networks. The performance and cost-effectiveness of WSS devices depends on epoxy technologies; epoxy is used to fix free-space optical components in highly […]

This project aims to facilitate interdisciplinary innovation between student with a background rich in clinical oncology & lymphedema experience with a biotech engineering startup to launch the world of lymphedema management into the 21st century. The proposed project will see the student working to inform the biotech company about what challenges exist in the world […]

The principles of lean engineering design are well documented for the automotive industry – where they have served to revolutionize the efficiencies of North American manufacturing operations. Lean engineering has subsequently been transferred into other sectors – where it continues to generate impressive results. The aerospace industry is faced with demands for efficiency of operations, […]

Recent research at the University of Calgary has focused on shear walls and on evaluating the influence of various parameters on in-plane shear capacity. The reason for this is that, for example, while it is recognized by most researchers that compression on walls increases the shear strength of masonry, the quantification of this effect has […]

Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc. is engaged in producing fuel cell stacks for automotive applications. The plant in Burnaby BC is the exclusive fuel cell manufacturer for Mercedes-Benz worldwide (marking the world’s first large-scale production facility for automotive fuel cells.) The Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell Division (MBFC) has shown interest in active collaborations with Canadian universities and research […]

Telecommunication networks are becoming critical in our daily lives, especially after the during Covid-19 global pandemic outbreak. To respond to such a surge in demands and satisfy new requirements of high agility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, telecom operators have been adopting new strategies to develop and deploy mobile networks. However, this new technology also brings new […]
