Are we using surgical simulation the right way? At present, the surgical curriculum uses simulation mainly to familiarize students with instruments and surgical techniques or as an objective assessment of skills performance. What if we could use surgical simulation to personalize the teaching of a surgeon in training (surgery resident)? This research will use eye-tracking […]

Aerosol deposition (AD) is a modification of low pressure cold spray technology which allows the deposit of ceramic based coatings. AD technology in a vacuum allows the formation of dense and well adhering ceramic films from sub-micro and nanoparticles directly at room temperature. The AD technology is still under development to cover more applications and […]

A person’s risk of experiencing a bony fracture increases with age. In addition to simply the loss of bone volume that occurs due to aging, there are also microstructural changes that contribute to the increased risk. The latter have been poorly studied to date. Trabecular packets (also known as hemiosteons) are the microstructural constituents of […]

BALLET (Ballon Locomotion for Extreme Terrain) is a novel concept for traversing rugged terrain on Titan and Mars. The concept is being evaluated under NASA Advanced Concepts funding to investigate feasibility and work on further details of the design. The goal is to develop a physics-based dynamics model of BALLET and perform simulations of BALLET […]

The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) with millions of edge devices created per year drives the need for computing platforms that have lower power, better fault tolerance and greater computing flexibility. With more and more novel applications and algorithms being rapidly deployed, the traditional approach of using custom hardware to achieve a low power […]

Helmets are currently tested and certified based on appropriate standards using a pass/fail criteria. All helmets that are available in the market have passed this standard testing. Unfortunately, the pass/fail threshold is well above known head injury threshold. Other than by comparing the price, consumers do not have a quantitative way to determine whether one […]

Ce projet de recherche ancré dans la tendance des « villes intelligentes » vise à contribuer au développement d’un Abribus Intelligent (AbI) en misant sur les technologies de l’Internet des Objets (IdO). Il s’agit de transformer un abribus en un environnement connecté qui permette de détecter automatiquement et en temps réel les usagers à proximité […]

Gene therapy is an expanding field that shows promise in the long term treatment of many genetic disorders. CRISPR-Cas9 technology is one way of editing the existing genome when trying to treat genetic disorder, or engineering genetic therapeutics. One area of interest is RNA therapeutics based on this technology. The Zydney and Salis lab groups […]

Stroke is the leading causes of permanent disability in adults in the world. However, rehabilitation can be a long process requiring hard labor with high cost. This project proposes to develop a rapid and easy to record indicator of motor performance for individuals with neuro/motor conditions. The team intend to develop an electroencephalography (EEG) based […]

Impact and blast loads are two severe dynamic loads that need to be investigated for any industrial and structural applications. Recently, Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes have been used in different electrical applications as electrical conduit systems, in addition, FRP tubes are used in structural applications in the form of Concrete-Filled FRP tubes (CFFT) members […]
