The current project aims to develop a novel energy management strategy for residential heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Controllable wireless air damping vents will adjust the air flow in different zones of the building allowing independent control of the temperature which results in enhanced thermal comfort and energy savings. The intern will collaborate […]

In recent years there has been a growing focus on evaluating the reproducibility of scientific findings. In neuroimaging this has been explored with respect to the impact specific choices in analysis software have on the resulting claims and their ability to be replicated across datasets or other tools. The focus of my Ph.D. involves the […]

Le projet vise a ameliorer la connaissance des proprh§tes electriques et thermiques des materiaux composites dans Ie contexte de leur utilisation dans Ie milieu aeronautique. Pour ce faire, il est envisage de soumet!re des echantillons de ces materiaux a des courants electriques, pour en evaluer la distribution dans lesdits echantillons. L’echauffement cause par ces courants […]

Les conducteurs aeriens des lignes de transport d’emergie sont des structures tres flexibles et ils sont retenus a chaque pylone a I’aide de pinces de suspension. Sous I’effet du vent, Ie conducteur peut etre excite, en particulier par les vibrations eoliennes modulees par un detachement tourbillonnaire en aval du conducteur. La vibration produit une flexion […]

During the last decade, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) drew the attention to be used as platform for imagery systems for different applications including agriculture applications. Therefore, the proposed research aims to develop the use of UAVs for specific important agriculture applications as weed management. These developments include the use of low-cost imagery sensors for these […]

The proposed research project is aimed at enhancing our understanding of interactions of several biodegradable low molecular weight polymers with the different components of aqueous oil sand suspensions. The work is designed to assess the effect of the polymers on a number of fundamental phenomena that govern several unit operations during oil sands processing and […]

The project is dedicated to developing new models and understanding for predicting marine ice accretion levels on small and medium sized sea vessels. These models are developed using engineering principles and will be used to predict ice loads, loss of vessel stability, and to assist in sizing heat tracing for critical vessel infrastructure. Additionally, we […]

Along with the development of Industry 4.0, the Oil and Gas Industry has employed Digital Twins as new way to lower cost, monitor assets, optimize maintenance, and minimize downtime by creating the connection between the physical world and the digital world. The digital oilfield collect enormous amounts of data from sensors, measuring devices, and other […]

This project deals with the development of three applications of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research aiming at improving the cost, response time and flexibility of production cost assessment, process planning and production at Nétur. Nétur manufactures high precision parts for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) in the aerospace industry, such as Pratt & Whitney. Data mining […]

During External-Beam Radiotherapy in cancer therapy, Bolus, a thick sheet of flexible material, is used to cover the skin surface in order to minimize damage healthy tissues. A significant problem of using bolus is air gaps generated between the bolus and patient’s skin if an inaccurate shape of bolus was made. In this research, an […]

This project investigates a new perspective on the intersections of architectural form generation, sustainability, building performance simulation and computation, and is meant to research an energy performance-driven building space organization method in the preliminary design phase. It will enquiry clear design questions, and present results using a visualization method that addresses the problem for both […]

Electric motors for traction applications come in many types, but in-hub induction motor with concentrated winding is not one of them. This specific configuration is of high interest for Nordresa – an electric truck manufacturer based in Montréal, Canada. In effect, this motor type presents numerous advantages: because of the concentrated winding and the absence […]
