The proposed project is a collaboration between InnuScience and researchers in the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department at Western University. InnuScience uses biotechnology to replace harmful chemicals, eliminate waste, and deliver sustainable cleaning solutions for the cleaning industry. This research collaboration will experimentally optimize the production of biosurfactants by microorganisms via fermentation pathways, focusing on […]

L’objectif du projet est de caractériser le potentiel des filtres à lave-linge pour la capture des microplastiques issus des lavages de vêtements. Un projet de science citoyenne sera réalisé en collaboration avec l’organisme GRAME. 30 filtres à lave-linge seront installés chez 30 volontaires résidents dans la région du Grand-Montréal. Les participants récolteront le contenu de […]

Lime is an inorganic compound also known as Calcium Oxide. It is used as a coagulant (charged solid that helps remove smaller particles from water). It is also used as an acid neutralizer. The purpose of this research project is to quantify the use of lime for lime slurries and lime slaking applications. A lab […]

The proposed research project will demonstrate the feasibility to fly a small uninhabited aircraft for very long, multiday missions by providing it with power using a mix of wireless power transmission and solar-power. The wireless power transmission will be sent as a directed microwave beam from a ground-based transmitter and received using rectennas that are […]

Developing an efficient process for MSW pyrolysis is important to reduce the environmental and spatial impact of MSW in landfills. This project aims to evaluate the production of renewable fuels from MSW using a dual spinning disc reactor (DSDR). The DSDR, developed by Vorsana, has the flexibility to handle several pyrolysis feedstocks under controlled conditions […]

Development of an Avionics system test methodology, based on the Test and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3). This will include (1) a gap analysis between TTCN-3 and current avionics test languages and environments and (2) a large scale case study. Of particular interest, will be the ability to model and verify both continuous control and discrete […]

The main goal of this project is to develop an artificial intelligence based approach for recommendation to improve Videotron marketing solutions. We aim to focus on improving Vidéotron return on investment (ROI), engaging more users and retaining subscribers using advanced artificial intelligence techniques. The proposed system will be based on a collaborative filtering technique that […]

High-level control strategies, commonly referred to as Motion Cueing Algorithms (MCA), are used to create realistic perception of unrestricted 6 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) motion with a motion platform that has fewer DoF and a limited workspace. For instance, such an algorithm would tilt the platform towards back to emulate forward acceleration on a platform that does […]

This study aims to propose a way to indirectly measure indoor fungi, which are known to be the causes of environmental diseases obtained in indoor life. For this purpose, MOFs-based multi-modal sensors for mVOCs will be developed, and machine learning algorithms to distinguish between general chemicals and mVOCs will be established. The detailed research plan […]

The proposed project complements the current work of the partner organization with polymeric materials. The evaluation of ultrashort laser interaction with solid matter of surface textured metal-like materials would help the partner organization obtain detailed process knowledge; a distinct advantage for broadening its service offering to address a different market segment.

A low oxygen level can be life-threatening if not identified early. Many lung diseases, including the COVID-19 virus, can lead to oxygen deficiency. Currently, only a contact biomedical device is capable of measuring oxygen levels in the human body. This makes the measurement limited to people who can wear the device. Our goal is to […]

A new process to create greenhouse glazing using 3D Printing is prototyped and tested. Using the principle of layer height fusion of plastic, new glazing will be created to provide shading and diffused light. The 3D Printed glazing will also be changed through the 3D Printer to change the amount of shading and diffused light, […]
