Continuing progress in microelectronics today relies to a great extent on the ability of industrials to tightly integrate together different types of devices and integrated circuits, a practice known as heterogeneous packaging integration. These packages are used many everyday applications such as smart phone and social media. The increase performance of these packages come at […]

Onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) are the integral part of wastewater management in Canadian rural and sub-urban communities. Sporadic reports indicate that these systems fail or underperform frequently and as such, they are among the most important sources of nutrient pollution in ground- and surface waters, which we frequently use as drinking water resources. The […]

Focused Ultrasound (FUS) is a therapeutic modality that can concentrate mechanical energy far from its source in just a few cubic millimetres. There is a significant number of studies investigating the use of FUS as a therapeutic option for multiples diseases, with an emphasis on oncology and brain disorders. While machine learning (ML) and artificial […]

Low Carbon Cities Canada (LC3) is a network of seven cities across Canada supported by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). Modeled on The Atmospheric Fund in Toronto, the LC3 approach provides the capacity, capital, and risk tolerance necessary to remove barriers to the adoption of new technologies, policies, and financial tools that can significantly […]

This project will develop a low cost prototype fusion reactor to create energy from water. We will find a better way to add the power to run it and to increase the efficiency of operation over previous versions of the machine. The interns will increase Fuse’s knowledge of the workings of the reactor and the […]

This grant proposes to look at innovation in materials and assembly which are afforded by our new design and fabrication technology so that Patkau architects can take this material innovation and move it to a conceived and completed project.

Lake Utopia paper mill as part of the J.D. Irving, Limited (JDI) is located in Southern New Brunswick. The mill waste water treatment system is an integral part of its operation. The mill production has been increased dramatically over the last twenty years. The total BOD level in the waste water to treatment plant has […]

COVID-19 impacts on travel are unprecedented, affecting virus-spread, transportation services delivery, and how people will eventually safely participate in economic, educational and social activities. These impacts vary substantially across neighbourhoods, often worsening existing inequities in Canadian cities. This project will accelerate research for deriving insights about COVID-19 from TELUS network location data. Specifically, it will […]

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio frequency to identify and track tags attached to objects. This technology is employed in different industries such as asset tracking, supply chain management, ID badging, etc. Current solutions for object tracking have limited precision, suffer from low performance, and are expensive and complex. In this […]

The distributed energy management system that needs to be optimized represents a control and command center for a network of distributed resources, which may operate within an isolated or weakly interconnected micro-grid. The controller’s primary functions are to communicate with each distributed energy resource controller to determine the operating status of each distributed energy resources […]

Electric power is almost entirely transmitted through polymer insulated cables or wires in every home, factory, plant, or apparatus. If the temperature of a cable increases, it would be an indication that some accidents or malfunctions such as inflow of excess electric current occur in the cable. The generated heat, indeed, degrades the polymer insulations […]

This project consists of three subprojects. In the first subproject, an ammonia-fueled a power generator will be developed and experimentally tested. Thus, the emission released from the generator such as CO2, NOX, and SOX, will be reduced substantially. The second subproject of the project is to investigate the ammonia economy starting from production to last […]
