Luna Nanotech is in the process of developing an automated portable device for diagnosis of infectious pathogens. As part of his PhD project the intern has participated in the development of a rapid multiplex benchtop serological test for Covid-19. In this project the intern will work with Luna Nanotech scientists and engineers to adapt this […]

L’entreprise DARE-IT Technologies fabrique des matrices de microphone IP pour des applications de surveillance. Les centres carcéraux cherchent une solution abordable afin de faire la détection, la localisation, la classification et le suivi de potentielles intrusions dans les airs (par l’usage de drones) pour permettre l’interception de colis illicites. À cette fin, DARE-IT réalisera une […]

Electrification connects renewable, low-carbon energy sources to the energy services that power modern society. Delivering this energy in the form of electricity is a formidable challenge, as the current electrical transmission network is not structured to deliver the amount of electrical energy needed to propel our vehicles, heat and cool our homes, and power industry […]

To prevent accidents and reduce risk checking the integrity of industrial tools is very vital in some industries such as oil and gas facilities, Nuclear powerplants, aerospace industries etc. These inspections are generally done manually by hand and visual inspection. Which is both time consuming and error prone. Inspection of some complex tools might require […]

The construction industry is moving towards automation using 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology. The 3DCP technology has many advantages including a positive impact on our environment. Current 3D printing material uses a large amount of Portland cement (PC) and natural resources (sand and crushed stones). These printing materials are environmentally harmful because the production of […]

Trocars are specialized medical devices which are commonly used in laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and/or operate inside the abdominal cavity. While morbidity and complications using this approach are significantly lower than open procedures, over half of all laparoscopic complications are attributed to trocar-related injuries during entry into the body. Additional […]

Improving and optimizing a full scale prototype which is being used to develop electric vehicle control software

Distinct Element Models (DEM) are a class of material models that represent the material as a domain of small elastic balls bonded by non-linear elastic springs with defined shear and tensile bond strengths. A part of this internship is a follow up work based on work done by another member of Advanced Drilling Group (ADG) […]

One of the major challenges today is reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) into the atmosphere and the increasing demand in the hydrogen energy sector. Currently, Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) is the industry standard in producing H2. Unfortunately, the H2 produced here is classified as “grey hydrogen” as the reaction between methane and water also produces […]

Optimum Canada, une entreprise québécoise qui développe et fabrique des outils de coupe, s’associe avec le Centre technologique en aérospatiale (CTA), le Laboratoire des Revêtements Fonctionnels et Ingénierie de Surfaces (LaRFIS) à Polytechnique Montréal et le Laboratoire d’Optimisation des Procédés de Fabrication Avancés (LOPFA) à l’École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) pour développer et industrialiser de […]

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a form of new dosage form for delivering drugs, including anticancer agents and vaccines. A highly controlled production system is needed to produce high quality LNPs, and the existing production systems suffer from a few drawbacks, such as lack of variable control and automated functions. Dionamix will employ their technologies and […]

Les portes palières sont des portes automatiques situées le long des quais des stations de métro et qui séparent physiquement le quai des voitures du train. Les portes palières sont de plus en plus intégrées directement en amont de la conception des nouvelles stations de métro, ou alors elles sont rétrofitées pour pouvoir s’adapter aux […]
