Micropollutants can be found in almost all water bodies due to their recalcitrant character. As conventional treatment plants are not efficient for many recalcitrant pollutants, oxidative methods and physical treatment methods have been widely applied for treatment of wastewater. Green enzyme-Laccase has high ability to transform many kinds of micropollutants, such as recalcitrant contaminants, into […]

This project assesses the feasibility of using drones to inspect aircraft for surface damage and defects such cracks, fractures or dents. The intern will first carryout a comprehensive literature review and environmental scan of the existing technology. He will then assist in developing and conducting a series of physical tests to determine the best camera […]

A veneer wythe protects the indoor environment and other building components against adverse outdoor effects, such as rain and physical impacts. Veneer walls are connected to a structural substrate (e.g. wood frame or masonry units) by ties. These are usually made of steel and therefore high in thermal conductance. The ties penetrate the thermal insulation […]

This project focuses on improving the performance of the real-time video streaming over Wi-Fi networks, in which losing packets is a serious concern. State-of-the-art methods try to improve the robustness of AL-FEC mechanisms by providing unequal protection to the packets. But such approaches are complex and increase even more the delays. In contrast, the proposed […]

Le transport adapté des personnes ayant des besoins particuliers est une activité qui demande des outils et méthodes de planification différents du transport collectif régulier. Dans ce projet, nous proposons trois éléments : 1) des modèles de prévision de la demande de transport adapté à court et moyen terme, 2) un outil de planification permettant […]

Over 70% of tasks in manufacturing are still manual and because of this over 75% of the variation in manufacturing comes from human beings. Human errors were the major driver behind the $22.1 billion in vehicle recalls in 2016. Currently when plant operators want to gain an understanding of their manual processes, they send out […]

This project will test a variety of operating conditions used in anaerobic digestion (AD) in wastewater treatment (WWT) plants. The purpose is to identify optimal conditions for AD treatment process. Optimization of AD process would increase production of biogas for production of renewable energy, increase yield of bio-products for agriculture use, reduce WWT plant operating […]

Current needs for renewable and emission-free technologies imposes hydroelectric power plants to generate power in a predictable and reliable fashion. Replacing metallic to polymeric coatings in thrust bearings allows hydroelectric turbines to operate at a wider range of operation parameters. However, the sensibility of polymeric materials to the manufacturing method imposes important uncertainties on the […]

Since Amazon robotics expanded the use of drones to package deliveries to customers, drone applications have been expanded to many industries along with its ability to perform various tasks autonomously. The fundamental technology of drones’ autonomy comes from perceiving its surrounding, creating its own map based on onboard sensors and estimate its location within the […]

The goal of this project can be divided into three subobjectives. First, we need to propose, implement and train an accurate eye tracking model on the server, then migrate it to an embedded platform with a simple application that can run the model. Finally, we need to experiment different pruning methods for the network and […]

Carbon nanopearls are an exciting novel class of materials that present unique characteristics, and they turn out to be an excellent alternative to carbon nanotubes for different applications. Presently, they are experimented with success as material for cold cathodes for electron-beam based instrumentation applications and they can be used for the development of polymer nanocomposites […]

La reconnaissance d’objets est une technologie permettant de traduire des données visuelles en informations utiles visant à reconnaitre des objets, les classifier et les localiser. L’utilisation de la reconnaissance d’objets dans l’industrie des essais non-destructifs est en pleine croissance. Cela permet d’améliorer les délais d’inspection, tout en améliorant la détection et la classification des défauts […]
