The purpose of this project is to add a feature to Rentrax so that business owners can track the physical location of their rental items. Device should be small enough to be hidden in rental items such as bikes. Battery usage of device should be as low as possible so that it doesn’t need frequent […]

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and is currently the most common cause of dementia, affecting approximately 50 million individuals worldwide. RetiSpec has developed a non-invasive, label-free retinal imager that can uniquely detect and quantify AD biomarkers – namely, signatures of A? aggregates. The combination of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning may be […]

Leather manufacturing is a by-product of the meat and dairy industries, and leather can come from any animal. More than a billion animals are slaughtered every year for their skins. But, the most popular type of skin used is coming from cow, calf and buffalo, and accounts for 64% of leather. Turning skin into leather […]

With physical interactions greatly restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is forced to rapidly adapt and embrace digital transformation. There is an urgent need for a digital identity infrastructure to authenticate users who rely on online services. The system must accurately validate physical identities, provide each user the ability to control access to […]

The focus of this project is replacing some of the current automotive parts by a stronger and lighter thermally-conductive polymer nanocomposite. This project takes advantage of the exceptional mechanical and thermal properties of graphene as a commercially viable and environmentally friendly nanomaterial, through an industrial scale process, i.e. injection molding. Therefore, the outcome of this […]

The use of new technologies, such as Gallium Nitride electronic switches, allows very efficient and compact power converters to be manufactured at reasonable cost. This is particularly interesting in applications such as electric vehicles. This project focuses on developing software simulation models and techniques for deploying these latest high voltage switches, in particular focussing on […]

The project is dedicated to the investigation and testing of environment-friendly, energy-efficient freezing technology for the remediation of mine-impacted water. This technology could be beneficial and economically feasible for the regions with cold weather conditions and vulnerable to anthropogenic impact. The primary research objectives of current project are to continue and advance laboratory experiments started […]

A solar wireless charger makes use of the power of the sun to charge your mobile phone. The benefit of this portable device is that it makes it possible to charge your phone outdoor or when someone does not have access to electricity right away. It also helps people in undeveloped countries where access to […]

Combustion continues to be the major source of power for electricity, transportation, and material processing. Modem day combustion devices such as automobile engines rely on computer simulations for analysis and optimization of geometry or operating conditions. Combustion problems that are solved to perform such simulations are described by complex multi-scale non-linear mathematical equations that entail […]

COVID-19 has introduced significant challenges to healthcare systems and caregivers to provide quality care to older adults and adults with developmental disabilities (DD) living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). As a result, regular doctor visits are limited, and demand for caregivers is on the rise. Utilizing a Collaborative Service Robot (CSR) technology within a LTCF […]

Hot summers and cold winters present a significant challenge for affordable housing. Effective utilization of solar energy for thermal comfort provides an environmentally sustainable solution to reduce utility bills. The objective of this research project is to investigate alternative solar technologies that can be combined with a thermal energy storage system and air source heat […]

An area of exploration that can lead to a critical improvement in the way first responders can better respond to situations (e.g., fires, shootings, etc.) in indoor scenarios is in the development of intelligent indoor mapping systems that provide critical navigation details to the first responders. This enables first responders to not only plan out […]
