Data Science in Pilot Performance Assessment

Automatically assessing a pilot performance during a flight training session is a capability that can enhance the flight instructor during his duty. From data gathered during a flight maneuver, we are looking for a way to automatically assess pilot performance to augment instructor performance and provide objectivity during flight training assessment.

Monitoring and Analysis of COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Ventilators

Front-line clinicians have reported that different respiratory stiffness results in different COVID-19 patient conditions on ventilators. In this project, we test and improve NovaResp’s monitoring hardware and analyze the collected data for development of algorithms with focus on respiratory stiffness of patients with COVID-19. The resulting algorithms and monitoring device could lead to determine whether […]

Uplift pipe-soil interaction under inclined ground surface

It is crucial to understand soil-pipeline interaction to be able to design buried pipes against Geohazards. Soil-pipe interaction in the level ground is well established, and the current design practice is based on the assumption that a pipe is installed on a flat ground surface. In reality, however, pipelines often cross natural slopes and sometimes […]

Rapid deployment of AI-assisted COVID-19 detection for radiology

There is currently an abundance of research in the community in terms of capturing X-ray data around COVID-19 analysis to help diagnosis for radiologists. However, at the same time there are staffing shortages that lead either to long diagnosis wait times and potential misdiagnosis. Our research is focused around rapid deployment of AI and developing […]

Techniques of Aircraft Engine Vibration Analysis

The Master’s student will conduct the investigation of the state-of-the-art of the engine mount-damperaircraft structure technology to reduce the aircraft structural vibration. He/she will establish the framework for the modeling, based on the test and experiment procedures that are provided by P&WC. The modeling will be planned so that the model results can be verified […]

COVID-19: High-volume electrospinning of high-performance cellulose membranes required for N95-grade mask fabrication

In close collaboration with our industrial partners, we propose to exploit our understanding and control of polymer electrospinning, in order to produce high-performance polymer-based filter membranes deposited on medical-grade cellulose substrates. In turn, these high-performance filter membranes will be produced in high volumes by our industrial partners for the manufacturing of N95-grade protection masks essential […]

Design, Development, and Control of the Battery Management Systems (BMS) for Off-road Vehicles Built by Dumur Industries

The objective is to design, develop, and test the power system in a next-generation rough-terrain utility vehicle developed by Dumur Industries, with particular focus on the battery used and its own power management system. The vehicle propulsion is via tank-type tracks that transmit power from the front to the back wheels via continuous chain-type tracks. […]

Graphene-based Corrosion Protective Coatings

Globally, all small and large industrial operations pay high and increasing costs to compensate for the damage and losses caused by corrosion. Based on the statistics, in Canada, various industries spend more than $80 billion per year collectively to cover the direct and indirect costs of corrosion. Annually, hundreds of people are injured or killed […]

Agricultural Anomaly Detection using Temporal Dynamics of Remote Sensing Data

This project is about using artificial intelligence to interpret agricultural remote sensing data. We will develop new means to integrate repeated imagery data of targeted agricultural fields to pinpoint agronomically significant anomalies (e.g., water or nutrient stress, crop pathology, weeds, etc.) and provide field managers easy to follow recommendations guiding development of the most cost […]
