As developed nations such Canada and Japan realize their commitments of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, hydrogen-based fuels such as ammonia will become more important. More effective technologies for “green” ammonia will need to be developed to ensure the sustainable supply of zero-carbon fuels for shipping and electricity generation. I propose to develop effective electrode […]

We are proposing to help design the experimental setup to characterize chip-scale Optical Phased Arrays (OPAs). OPAs – a photonic device used for optical beam forming and beam steering – have been widely studied for LiDAR, optical sensing, free-space communication and more. Building on previously prototyped phase array antenna design at Honeywell, the team aims […]

Datec Coatings Corporation has developed a new technology that enables them to print heating elements on various surfaces. One of these is a mica sheet, which is physically very similar to regular cereal box cardboard. By printing an image on another sheet of mica and placing both of these in a frame, it is possible […]

With the increasing effects of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions on climate change, there is also increasing interest to alternatives to internal combustion engines for mobility. Battery electric vehicles are one route, and another is fuel cells. There is increasing interest in polymer composites that are not only mechanically strong and lightweight, but also have […]

While newer, advanced Filament Fused Deposition Modeling (FFDM) 3D printing systems for additive manufacturing of plastics products have been designed in order to increase rate productions similar to conventional plastic transformation processes. Up to the date hybrid configurations that can achieve for printing selectively high deposition rates without compromising part quality hasn’t yet been fully […]

I n effort to reduce the environmental footprint and improve the sustainability of wastewatertreatment plants, this study is focused on the production of energy and the recovery of valueadded products from municipal wastewater via the chemical precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite). The method employs the controlled addition of a suitable magnesium compound such as […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans le contexte d’une étude de faisabilité sur l’implantation d’un centre de micro-consolidation partagé pour le transport de marchandises adapté à la réalité de la Ville de Québec. L’objectif principal du projet est d’étudier la faisabilité de déployer des solutions partagées de décarbonisation du transport de marchandises, misant sur la cyclo-logistique et […]

Le projet porte sur l’intégration de technologies issues du Building Information Modeling chez un entrepreneur général, EBC INC. À travers un projet de mise en contexte, le centre ambulatoire B1 du nouveau CHUM, il sera étudié les possibilités d’intégration des technologies de coordinations, de gestion des interférences et de construction simulée. L’objectif principal du projet […]

Mineralogy is the key to interpreting planetary geology and climate history. The aim of this project is to develop initial designs and prototype components of a portable and miniaturized In situ X-ray diffractometer (ISXRD) that will be mounted on a rover for planetary exploration applications. This miniaturized instrument will enable direct mineral characterization of intact […]

The objective of this study will be to characterize the generator column line resistance, at different flow rates, throughout the generator lifecycle.

Precast concrete shear walls are an economical structural system for low, medium, and high-rise buildings. Precast concrete structural systems have various advantages, such as improved quality of construction, efficient use of materials, reduced construction time, and cost-efficiency. The concrete wall panels are typically one story in height and are connected horizontally and vertically to adjacent […]

The goal of the project is to develop a slow-release fertilizer in a chemical reaction wherein salts are impregnated into the pores of a feedstock material; either biomass or biochar. This will not only allow for prolonged nutrient retention and absorption by plants in the soil, but it will also act to sequester carbon in […]
