L’intelligence artificielle et l’apprentissage profond font leur entrée dans notre vie. Que ce soit par le biais de moteurs de suggestion de film, d’assistant vocale ou d’aide à la conduite automobile, il est désormais pris pour acquis que cette technologie est là pour rester. Mais les modèles d’intelligence artificielle que nous connaissons aujourd’hui souffrent tous […]

Global pollution emissions contribute to climate change and are damaging to health. In many industrial applications that produce particulate matter, devices such as cyclones are used to separate and capture the particles from the exhaust gas. However, these do not capture the very small, but hazardous, particles and so expensive and energy-intensive secondary systems have […]

Sterasure Inc. in its current mission to provide biomedical tools to reinvent the clinical decision support, partners with the University of Waterloo to work towards the development of cutting-edge contactless vital sign monitoring systems. The technology studied in this research will allow the advance in the detection of oxygen saturation levels through cost-efficient systems. Although […]

Vehicle scheduling is one of the main planning problems for transit agencies. While it is relatively simple to solve in the deterministic and single-depot setting, these assumptions are unrealistic in real-world applications. Specifically, ignoring major sources of uncertainty (such as travel times) and making decisions over average predictions can lead to inferior schedules that incur […]

This project investigates a complex freight consolidation and loading problem faced by Frontline Carrier Systems Inc., a leading transportation and supply chain provider in North America. Frontline seeks to optimize their transportation costs by minimizing the number of trucks required to ship a set of customer orders within a finite planning horizon. The problem integrates […]

The City of Vancouver’s Integrated Rainwater Management Plan and Rain City Strategy provides rainwater management targets and design standards for public spaces (streets, public spaces, parks) and private spaces (private property, City-owned property) in the City of Vancouver. To reach these targets, the City has adopted several Green Rainwater Infrastructure (GRI) approaches to achieve the […]

In the project, we will use an advanced microscope instrument, called a plasma focused ion beam to image the three dimensional structure of turbine materials used to generate hydroelectric power, with the aim of design a method for predicting damage and maintenance schedules in the long term. If we can understand the microstructure of these […]

Le marché du sport motorisé étant en constante évolution, il est nécessaire aux entreprises qui en font partie d’innover continuellement. Pour ce faire, l’utilisation d’outils numériques est essentielle au développement et à l’itération rapide de prototypes. Deux des aspects cruciaux à maitriser, lors du développement de produits, sont la répartition de l’écoulement de l’air et […]

The proposed research to be undertaken is intended to assess the feasibility of using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to disinfect and stabilize wastewater biosolids. The project includes the determination of conditions to optimize performance of the BFSL and provide an on-site method of biosolids management for the Municipality of Colchester. If proven successful, the […]

To help reduce the polluting impacts of aluminum production, this project investigates a use of a landfill-bound waste material called bauxite residue. This by-product is produced in large volumes globally but has no well-defined reuse or recycling application. The objective of this study is to develop a process to utilize this waste as a wastewater […]

The intern will demonstrate the automated real time pathogen detection unit, Kraken, in close to field conditions. The unit will be installed in a controlled environment in order to develop and validate the control system operations of the unit. The unit will be assembled, installed, electrically connected and attached to the fluid source that can […]

Ce projet vise à produire des connaissances et méthodes nouvelles en biomécanique et en ergonomie occupationnelle qui vont permettre d’augmenter les capacités du logiciel Ergonomic Workplace Designer (EWD), dont une première version sera mise en marché par Dassault systèmes au cours de l’année 2021. Ce logiciel d’ergonomie virtuelle est destiné aux concepteurs de systèmes de […]
