Carbon nanotubes are a tubular carbon-based material with extreme properties at the nanoscale. Scaled up production of macroscopic carbon nanotube materials is still expensive, and the bulk material falls short of the impressive nanoscale material properties. The aim of this project will be to mathematically characterize the structure of carbon nanotube aerogels produced using floating […]

In Canada, there are over 280 communities that are off the grid, the majority of which are First Nation. They use stand-alone diesel-powered electricity generators to supply their basic needs, and whilst there are plans to provide renewable energy alternatives, this will take time. In addition, there are a growing number of generators that burn […]

L’Evaluation Non Destructive (END) est une science meconnue, pourtant nous en sommes tous affectee d’une maniere ou d’une autre. Elle permet I’inspection des materiaux afin de tester leur qualite et integrite. Nombre d’industries de toutes sortes utilisent differentes methodes d’END pour s’assurer que leurs produits et procedes fonctionnent correctement et securitairement. Chaque methode d’END a […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new emerging paradigm and is rapidly gaining ground in different applications of significant engineering importance including but not limited to smart buildings, and smart public environments. The main enabling factor of this promising paradigm is integration of identification, localization, and navigation technologies with smart hand-held devices equipped with […]

In Canada, the transportation sector is the second largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter and a large contributor to air pollution emissions, which can cause significant health impacts. Since electric vehicle (EV) does not generate any exhaust emissions, introducing EVs can bring health and climate co-benefits to society. From a life cycle perspective, this study will […]

Des cornières en carton sont utilisées pour la protection des angles de colis ou de palettes, pendant leurs manutentions (chargement, transport, etc.). Elles jouent un rôle important dans le renforcement de la résistance à l’empilement des cartons. Le projet porte sur une amélioration des propriétés des cornières fabriquées par Abzac. Les différentes tâches seront les […]

Pour bien fonctionner, l’électronique de puissance, par exemple les moteurs électriques, doit être refroidie avec des liquides qui conduisent bien la chaleur, tout en étant de bons isolants électriques. La disponibilité de ces fluides est actuellement une limite importante si on veut utiliser des puissances plus élevées. L’objectif général de ce projet est de développer […]

Over the decades use of Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) in steel production has grown dramatically. However, EAF operation involves relatively low level of automation and multivariable interactions and subtle relationships that may be easily overlooked. Detailed process knowledge, in the form of a model, makes it possible to take advantage of more complex relationships to […]

Parkinson’s disease is most highly recognized by tremors of the hands that occur in those afflicted with the disease. Though the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease involving motor function begin with very slight tremors of the hands, they further develop into issues such as difficulty swallowing, severe postural problems and extremely limited mobility. In this proposal, […]

L’objectif du projet de stage sera d’améliorer la convergence et la vitesse de résolution des problèmes électromagnétiques et thermiques fortement couplés pour simuler le phénomène d’emballement thermique (i.e. « quench ») dans des électro-aimants supraconducteurs soumis à des variations rapides de courant et/ou de champ magnétique. Les électro-aimants ont de nombreuses applications pratiques, la plus […]

I would like to reposition the viewer in the spaces within the “Park-Monument of the Bulgarian Soviet Friendship” in Varna, Bulgaria, to question the purpose and value of this monument which is carrying an ideology from a communist past, into the present Bulgarian society. As I understand it, to place something in its context, be […]
