The research project undertaken by the intern is to investigate the relationship between inflammation and temperature, use that knowledge to define thermal metrics and develop a standard operating procedure for 3D thermal body imaging. During the project the intern will build a phantom to evaluate and optimize the performance of a commercially available 3D thermal […]

Large size high strength steels parts used in transport and energy applications undergo several heating and cooling cycles during their manufacturing process (casting, forging, quench, tempering). Generally, in the tempering process the parts are heated in industrial furnaces and the impact of non-uniform heating on the subsequent steps is of critical importance. A non-uniform temperature […]

La gestion des horaires du personnel est cruciale pour l’industrie de la vente au détail. Ce secteur, hautement concurrentiel et dont les marges bénéficiaires sont faibles, est extrêmement sensible à la maitrise des coûts. Une gestion efficace des forces de travail à disposition, pouvant générer des bénéfices tangibles, fait appel à une planification efficace des […]

The use of a modern greenhouse is considered an efficient way of maintaining favourable growing conditions to enhance the productivity of agriculture and horticulture. However, the high production cost is associated with the greenhouse operation due to the high energy demand that results in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and environmental impact. It is important […]

Financial institutions ensure borrowers’ ability to repay the loan before lending them for the pursuing projects. The ESSAFIN Logic 1.0 software tool is available for evaluating loan proposals based on the Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. The tool has a potential for improvement to account for the lack of critical practical application and evidence-based […]

Aircraft/Avionics System certification is awarded by aviation regulatory bodies to applicants after they have demonstrated that the design of the system meets airworthiness requirements. Airworthiness requirements are a complex set of requirements, standards, and regulations. Demonstration of compliance to airworthiness requirements can be accomplished through testing, reviews, similarity of installation and/or usage and other means. […]

Combined water management system including integrated composting toilets, greywater diversion with biological filtration, and rainwater harvesting for irrigation. Avoids the use of traditional septic fields or tanks in an effort to create a safe, decentralized, low maintenance, and repeatable holistic water and waste management system that does not contribute to soil nutrient depletion, erosion, or […]

The project aims to enable and formalize the conceptual design and optimization of the different UAV designs, including safety and reliability considerations. This achievement will contribute to the emergence of UAV in safety-critical applications that would change our daily lives like air taxiing, painting skyscrapers, urban surveillance, media coverage, logistics, deliveries, or flying ambulances. As […]

Two pharmaceutical products for the treatment of neurological diseases developed by Neuractas Therapeutics require fine tuning to enhance their solubility, bioavailability and stability towards relative humidity. Extensive experimental research will be carried out to improve the polymorphic distribution of the products by high through-put crystallization to improve the solubility of one of the products. In […]

MEGA InTech aims to maintain healthy workers and prevent injuries. This research will advance a smart insole to deliver analyses of ambulatory gait and posture. Specifically, signal processing and sensor fusion algorithms to deliver detailed metrics of gait and occupational ergonomics will be developed. The proposed methodology will leverage the partner’s prototype insole sensor hardware […]

This research aims in utilizing agriculture wastes in production of sustainable eco-friendly concrete panels for floors and walls in farms building. The mechanical and durability performance of the concrete panels exposed to the aggressive agriculture environment will be evaluated. The research will investigate the effects of different factors mainly related to physical properties of used […]

Metal-based direct energy deposition processes ideally require feedback sensing of the deposition quality using camera detectors as they provide spatial and temporal state signatures of the process. Image processing algorithms are challenging to develop due to changing process operating conditions. Machine learning models have recently gained in popularity due to their ability to predict process […]
