Optimizing energy consumption of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) devices is mandatory and challenging. Energy Harvesting (EH) from RF, solar, thermal, wind, and kinetic energy sources can be a good substitute for traditional batteries. EH is expected to have abundant applications in future AIoT and self-powered micro-systems such as wireless sensor networks and wearable devices. […]

La ville de Ste-Julie (Qc) est aux prises avec une production importante de boues dans ses étangs de traitement des eaux usées. Ce faisant, elle doit vidanger annuellement ces derniers, ce qui représente des coûts d’opération importants. Ces vidanges génèrent annuellement environ 600 tonnes sèches de boues. La ville souhaite donc développer une (bio)approche leur […]

Twitch is a video live streaming service and a subsidiary of Amazon. Twitch primarily focuses on video game live streaming, broadcasts of esports competitions, music and creative content. Twitch clients upload their encoded video to Twitch’s servers. The user generated content (UGC) is then transcoded. Transcoding is the process of decoding UGC, making alternations to […]

L’adaptation des techniques de mesure d’états émotifs à des situations où l’on peut, rapidement, évaluer un individu dans un groupe de façon non-invasive, tout en lui permettant de vaquer librement à ses occupations demeure un défi de taille et un enjeu de première importance pour de multiples industries. Ce projet consiste à évaluer les techniques […]

L’objectif général de ce projet est de développer un équipement électrolytique à l’échelle du laboratoire et d’optimiser son fonctionnement, en développant les procédés électrolytiques appropriés pour réduire voir éliminer les phénomènes d’entartrage-corrosion et de croissance microbienne et ce, sans ajout de produits chimiques. Ce travail se fera en se basant et en se comparant avec […]

This project aims to develop an itinerary demand forecasting model that can handle long-term and short-term forecasting and adjust its parameters under changing situations. General long-term prediction models are relatively precise because the context often remains stationary over time, but can not quickly adapt to unforeseen events, like the global pandemics. It is necessary to […]

Le but du projet est de mettre au point de nouvaux modèles de mise à l’échelle pour le mélange de poudres propulsives. Des lacunes ont pu être observées lors de la mise en marche de la production à l’échelle industrielle de nouvelles de formulations de poudres propulsives et les règles de mise à l’échelle courrament […]

My research question of interest is: Can abandoned coal tailings impoundments be suitably utilized as sites for installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels for electricity generation? My research will focus on the feasibility analysis of renewable energy power generation utilizing geomembrane-mounted solar PV systems at the Victoria Junction Tailings Dam in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. […]

Food production and agriculture in Canada’s far North is met with many challenges. Short growing seasons, poor soil, extreme weather all impact the ability to effectively and efficiently produce food locally. In addition, Northern communities are at the end of a South to North supply chain, suspectable to multiple disruptions, both physical and economic. Our […]

The importance of Supply Chain Management in improving construction management performance has been recognized since the 1990s. However, construction projects still take a longer time to finish and overrun the allocated budget. Moreover, construction projects suffer from a lack of supply chain integration. Thus, the construction industry has a significant need for effective construction supply […]

Manipulation and characterization of ultrafast optical signals are fundamental procedures for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, biology, quantum information science, spectroscopy, and atomic and molecular physics. In this context, the so-called theory of space-time duality offers a powerful framework for the development of important optical signal processing functionalities. One of its key elements […]

The City of Hamilton has developed some basic costing and implementation models for a) the replacement (retrofitting) of existing street lighting with LED street lighting and b) incorporate LED street lighting in new construction. These models were created in conjunction with the LED technical evaluations and it was identified that there is justification and a […]
