Storing electrical charge has been one of the top demands for human being during his lifespan. Nowadays, energy storage systems are among the most concern around the globe. The ability to provide a special class of electric energy storage devices that can complement or replace batteries and harvesting applications when high power delivery or uptake […]

The interns will develop novel technologies using laser light to interrogate molecular vibrations in biological tissue setting up the stage for the next generation of intraoperative imaging techniques used to guide surgical interventions, including the resection of tumours in prostate and ovarian surgery as well as in neurosurgery. The partner organisation (Optech) is an organisation […]

Infiltration facilities are an effective storm water management practice. The conventional continuous simulation models are widely used in the hydrologic analysis of infiltration facilities in practical engineering practices. However, these continuous simulation models are often time-consuming and data-demanding. The previously proposed analytical probabilistic models can also be used for analyzing hydrologic performance of infiltration facilities, […]

A novel laser surgery method has been recently developed at the University of Toronto based on the excitation of the ultrafast broadband acoustic fields in tissues by means of the picosecond infrared laser (PiRL) pulses. By using sufficient laser power, the propagation of these fields through tissues efficiently creates incisions with minimal collateral damage. Initial […]

The interns will develop a quantum communication network built on RBC’s optical fiber infrastructure and perform secure commercial transactions using quantum-generated secure keys in the integrated classical communication network. The quantum communication network will be based on the measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution technology, which is developed by Prof. Hoi-Kwong Lo’s and Prof. Li Qian’s groups […]

StructureCraft Ltd is a renowned Canadian company for its quality mass timber products and ability to fabricate complex design. The company proposed a new methodology for reinforcing dowel laminated timber panels while the performance is yet to be investigated experimentally. The proposed research here will investigate the performance of this methodology under experimental tests. Both […]

In this project, we propose integrating well-known neuroimaging algorithms to model axonal integrity of the white matter over the course of a full season, in collegiate football players. Using these findings as a basis for further investigation, we intend to develop a novel imaging processing tool that will integrate information from different neuroimaging methods to […]

The project will involve making and designing reference parts, and then producing 3D scans of those parts and providing some measurement analysis. Documentation on collection and safety must be followed throughout. 3D printing is not only a very unique way of creating something, but it also gives its user a very wide range of design […]

The project will research software and models of plume migration for subsea oil and gas productions. Plume migration is important because when a leak takes place subsea it needs to set off a sensor, and to do that for point sensors, the product must come near the sensor. Knowing how oil will move under water […]

Le projet réalisé dans le cadre de stages Mitacs vise à renforcer et augmenter les connaissances sur la dynamique de l’écoulement traversant les turbines hydrauliques de type Francis de moyenne chute lorsqu’elles sont opérées en régimes hors production (sans charge). Ces conditions d’opération de plus en plus fréquentes et faisant partie intégrante des régimes transitoires, […]

Les nouvelles technologies émergentes dans la construction, notamment celles liées au BIM et aux simulations 4D à 7D, créent une rupture dans les méthodes de gestion et entrainent des changements majeurs dans la manière de gérer, coordonner, modéliser et planifier les chantiers, de même que la communication des informations. Cependant, lors de la planification, les […]

The aim of this project is to develop a computer-based algorithm that will integrate a planning model with a scheduling model to improve operations management for analytical service facilities. An iterative decomposition algorithm that can provide optimal production scheduling sequences (in acceptable computational times) based on changes in the strategic planning decisions will be provided […]
