Fluid-bed granulation is the process of growing small particles into granules by spraying solids-containing liquids. It is an important process step in the production of various consumer-facing products like fertilizer, laundry detergent and food products that have to be of consistent quality. Industrial-scale granulators are notoriously difficult to build and prone to design flaws such […]

Transportation of oil and gas through pipeline networks remain a crucial infrastructure for sustainable economic growth in Canada. Pipeline wear and damage will remain a major concern as it can lead to catastrophic failures causing environmental and economic damage if undetected. For easier detection of damage on a large network of pipelines, an array of […]

In-situ recovery methods for oils sands are applied to reservoirs containing bitumen that are too deep for mining. To date there has been only one commercially viable in-situ recovery method, Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), involving high pressure steam injection and bitumen production using horizontal well pairs located near the base of oil sands formations. While […]

This project will perfect current quantitative electrophysiology technique (qEEGt) based on multivariate spectral analysis of magnetic-electrophysiology recordings to provide sensitive biomarkers for its use in the Precision Brain Health, including diagnostic, prediction, and intervention. We will take advantage of the Bayesian statistics to produce novel solutions and solve the main unresolved problems of quantitative electroencephalography […]

The objective of this project is to investigate the feasibility of a novel anchor fixation device for which the anchoring mechanisms is prompted by the expansion and polymerization of a polymeric material. Accordingly, an innovative solution inspired from the self-healing polymer concept is proposed for sufficient expansion and fixation to wall panels for masonry and […]

Creating smart indoor environments that detect and understand human daily life activities is attracting significant amount of attention, due to their huge potential impact on context-aware technologies. Aerial Technologies, our partner organization, is developing products that provide device-free indoor localization and activity recognition Wi-Fi signals generated by off-the-shelf Wi-Fi enabled devices. This project will use […]

Les prix figurent parmi les décisions importantes à prendre par les responsables des ventes. En particulier pour les entreprises du bois d’œuvre, les responsables de ventes se fient aux estimations des prix, basées sur le jugement d’experts, fournies hebdomadairement par le Conseil de l’Industrie Forestière du Québec (CIFQ). La génération hebdomadaire de ces estimations de […]

Bubbly flows are ubiquitous in many systems and also fascinating from a fundamental perspective. Injecting bubbles into a liquid is often used to enhance mixing which leads to improvement in heat and/or mass transfer characteristics of the flow. This finds many applications in chemical industry, energy sector, and even biomedical engineering. This internship provides an […]

Traditional chemical separations, such as water filtration for example, are often energy intensive and require large amounts heat to achieve success. In an age with a growing need for clean technology, there has been increased demand for membranes capable of achieving these separations, without the traditional downfalls. These so called super-membranes are capable of producing […]

This work will address the gaps of previous studies undertaken for the Arctic by developing energy model framework that incorporates uncertainty in prices, technology performance and variations in renewable resources caused by climate change. Expected results of the research might be identifying cost-effective risk hedging strategies that account for multiple and overlapping uncertainties within the […]

Therma management in electronic systems is a growing concern. Maintaining the battery temperature is one of the biggest challenges in electric vehicle development. The batteries in electric vehicle generate a lot of heat which, if not dissipated, may lead to an explosion. Not only electric vehicles, but with increase in processor speed and computing power […]
