Many of the pipelines either offshore or onshore are nearing the end of their design life. Some of the pipelines show signs of deterioration and ageing as a result of corrosion and fatigue. There are situation where the operators desire to extend the life of an ageing pipeline beyond its life expectancy due to increased […]

In quantum key distribution (QKD), the twin-field has been proposed as a means to overcome the linear key rate bound, and hence the key generation rate, as well as to enable repeaterless QKD transmission. Despite significant progress in TF-QKD and its variations in recent times, the key rates are still significantly low compared to practical […]

As the number of patients with stroke and Parkinson’s Disease (PD) increases, it is essential to obtain treatment progress data efficiently for the home rehabilitation. For the therapy of hand disabilities, a system is required to collect data, process and control hand motions during rehabilitation. Current rehabilitation devices that are available in the market are […]

This project focusses on the modernization of energy system modelling with considerations for greater levels of sustainable energy and carbon-neutral footprints.

Rolling element bearings act as the heart of rotating machines. Any imperfection in their condition can lead to an abrupt failure which can be catastrophic. For more than two decades, implementing sensors for condition monitoring of bearings has been beneficial in preventing abrupt failure and fault detection. These sensors require a noise-free atmosphere to have […]

NORAM Engineering and Constructors Ltd. (NORAM) has developed a bench-scale process capable of producing low strength fibres from Alberta oil sands asphaltenes (AOA). The objective of the proposed collaborative research between NORAM and UBC is to broaden the application space of AOA by improving the structural and functional properties of AOA-CF through polymer blend and […]

The first objective of this internship is testing and validation of recently customised RISKWISE software for subsea pipeline application using a case study. Second objective is to develop a user manual for the software for future reference. Testing and validation of the software would help provide reliability and confidence in the tool usage that will […]

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones have numerous applications in different industries. However, drones have limitations such as short flight time, limited flight range, and navigational inaccuracy in regions with unreliable GPS signal. To mitigate these limitations, using a group of drones to cooperatively perform the mission is proposed. The resulting parallel operation increases the […]

This project is a partnership between Concordia University and Aedo AI, to upgrade an existing construction project data repository into an intelligent platform for analyzing project performance and providing advanced analytics based on (i) correlations between projects’ different facets (including actors involved, the facility being built, and workflow processes being executed); and (ii) interactions among […]

Heat exchangers, used in building heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to transfer heat from hot to cold fluids, are designed to operate under ideal conditions. However, in practice operating conditions may vary with ambient temperature or humidity. HVAC system efficiency can be improved significantly if fluid flow rates are adjusted in response to […]

Financial variables modelling plays an essential role in computational finance and risk management. Recent research has shown that public sentiment and other information expressed in the natural text such as news articles are important factors correlated with financial variables. The main purpose of this project is to better model financial variables such as market indices […]

Individuals that survive a stroke are left with long-term movement impairment at the affected arm that negatively impact their performance in daily activities. Robotic arm devices and virtual reality can help improve recovery following a stroke, and the optimal VR game needs to be challenging, adaptable and reflecting as closely as possible reality to support […]
