Waste sorting today is inefficient and relatively expensive since current systems can’t achieve full autonomy. Our project introduces a practical solution that combines AI-powered vision-based object detection with low-cost robotic manipulators to automatically detect and sort waste streams in real time. This innovation reduces hardware and maintenance costs, minimizes the labor reliance, and greatly enhances […]

This project focuses on validating the real-world potential of a new wearable wireless sensing technology designed for safer and more reliable on-body communication. Many current wearable devices struggle with performance instability and safety issues due to strong interaction with the human body. This project explores an alternative design approach that minimizes unwanted radiation into the […]

Our project is about a novel hybrid 3D printing system that combines the best parts of two popular printing methods: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA). FDM printers can make large parts but with low precision and limited surface quality, while SLA printers create very accurate parts but waste a lot of resin and […]

Au Canada, une personne sur quatre aura plus de 65 ans d’ici 2030. Plusieurs aînés perdent progressivement leur capacité à s’alimenter de façon autonome en raison de troubles moteurs ou de maladies liées au vieillissement. Cette perte d’autonomie affecte profondément leur dignité et leur qualité de vie. Les systèmes robotiques d’assistance alimentaire existants coûtent souvent […]

La précipitation est une opération unitaire clé du Génie des Procédés, utilisée pour séparer, purifier, synthétiser et mettre en forme des produits organiques ou minéraux, notamment en industrie pharmaceutique. Elle consiste à faire apparaître une phase solide à partir d’une solution liquide via une réaction chimique produisant un composé moins soluble. Pour garantir la pureté […]

This project focuses on developing environmentally friendly electronic materials by combining biodegradable polymers with semiconducting materials to develop degradable, flexible, and high-performance organic electronic devices. The work aims to improve device stability and sustainability, contributing to the advancement of green electronics. Through collaboration between participating institutions, the project will promote knowledge exchange in materials design, […]

Les changements climatiques posent un défi croissant pour l’approvisionnement en énergies renouvelables au Québec. Au-delà de l’hydroélectricité, déjà bien étudiée, des filières comme l’éolien, le solaire, la biomasse, la géothermie et le gaz naturel renouvelable (GNR) demeurent sous-analysées. Pourtant, elles sont appelées à jouer un rôle clé dans la transition énergétique de la province. Ces […]

Mostavio is a Toronto-based aerospace company developing ultralight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed for safe, efficient, and sustainable personal air travel. The company focuses on lightweight structures, automation, and human-centered design to make advanced air mobility more accessible. This project explores the use of augmented reality (AR) to improve how pilots and […]

Worldwide demand for man-made cellulosic fibres is increasing as availability of cotton fibre is limited. The regenerated cellulose lyocell process offers large advantages over other processes in terms of environmental and social impacts. However, cellulose is flammable. Current strategies to prepare flame-resistant (FR) regenerated cellulose fibre involve the incorporation of a fine powder of organophosphate […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à développer un procédé durable pour produire de l’hydrogène vert à partir d’énergies renouvelables, comme l’énergie solaire et éolienne, afin de soutenir la transition énergétique vers des solutions propres. L’hydrogène vert est un carburant propre qui peut remplacer les combustibles fossiles et réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de […]

Cold-region infrastructure faces significant challenges due to freeze–thaw cycles, frost heave, and moisture-induced degradation. While waste-derived Engineered Polystyrene Textiles (EPT) offer a sustainable alternative to conventional geosynthetics, selecting the optimal formulation for both performance and environmental impact remains critical. This project aims to conduct a life-cycle assessment (LCA) combined with a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) […]

The proposed project aims to address a critical need for DMT, specifically focusing on the valorization of side streams from furfural production. DMT is currently commissioning a furfural pilot plant and will begin commercial sales soon. However, for the pilot plant to be successful the facility needs to utilize more of the lignocellulosic biomass (miscanthus). […]
