La détection des engins de pêche perdus en mer est un défi environnemental majeur. Ce projet développe une application innovante pour détecter ces engins en analysant les données de sonars sidescan au format .xtf. Elle se divise en trois sections : détection des engins, étiquetage et entraînement, et carte des engins. La première section charge […]

This project is supported by a company dedicated to revolutionizing the personal care industry with innovative, eco-friendly skincare solutions. The objective of this industrial project is to create high-quality products that promote healthy skin and contribute to a cleaner, greener planet. Drawing from our experience in operating a zero-waste store, we understand the importance of […]

The space economy is developing quickly and Canada wants to play a role in the new sector of “in-orbit services”, where satellites are repaired and refueled while space debris is removed from space completely. All these activities require the servicing spacecraft to get a good look at the client spacecraft before docking. In this research, […]

The increasing wildfires threaten, indirectly, water quality by altering physicochemical properties and introducing contaminants to water bodies. This research aims to address how wildfire pollutants impact water systems, identify research gaps, and analyze data from Canada and worldwide to understand trends and mitigate impacts on water resources.

This project aims to improve the uptake and provide further efficacy evidence of Bionic Power Incorporated’s Agilik lower-limb orthosis in Canada. To fulfill this goal, baseline predictors of long-term health-related quality of life associated with the Agilik’s treatment of knee flexion-extension impairment will be identified through an observational prospective cohort study, looking at real-world impacts […]

Biomimicking involves drawing inspiration from nature to design materials and structures that replicate their unique properties, including optical, chemical, physical, and thermal characteristics. With this study, the objective is to determine the characteristics of fabrics that can give the same tactile properties, i.e., when touching with the hand, as natural materials, for example rose petals. […]

Le secteur industriel est le plus grand consommateur d’énergie au Québec, représentant environ 40 % de la consommation totale d’énergie. L’amélioration de la gestion de l’énergie dans ce secteur est un objectif essentiel, tant pour le fournisseur d’énergie et les clients, compte tenu des coûts de l’énergie, des impacts environnementaux et des ressources disponibles. En […]

Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations are often used nowadays for analyzing the transient behaviour of power systems. However, due to the large size and complexity of modern-day power networks, simulating them in EMT programs can become excessively slow. Multi-rate simulation is one of the effective ways of speeding up EMT simulations. In this approach, only critical […]

In Canada, there is still a lack of wastewater treatment systems for enormous number of remote communities and industrial sites. Therefore, a mobile and cost-effective waste treatment system is urgently desired for scattered water treatment demands. This project aims at the development of a ZrO2/sericin-membrane-enhanced integrated mobile system (IMS) for decentralized wastewater treatment with energy […]

Un-crewed Air Vehicles (UAVs) have many applications in different sectors, such as security, surveying, and logistics. However, the flight autonomy of the UAVs is a key factor that can limit their mission potential. Shearwater Aerospace is a Canadian company based in Montreal that develops autonomous operating software based on artificial intelligence, Smart Flight, for professional […]

Computer simulation of transient events in an electric power system requires advanced modeling and computational tools. Introduction of renewable resources, such as wind and solar power, has caused fundamental changes to our power systems, thereby rendering many of our existing simulation tools inadequate. This research aims to solve some of the underlying shortcomings of power […]

Imagine a cell phone camera with only 32×32 (1024 or 1K) pixels. The image quality would be very poor. This is the current regime where 3D ultrasound imaging is at. Going to Mega-Pixel sensors would create a quantum jump in 2D and 3D image quality. However, doing so is challenging since in ultrasound MHz range […]
