Le centre d’escalade Vertige développe présentement un système de gestion de centres sportifs. Ce système se voudrait être combiné avec une technologie sportive innovante servant à analyser les performances de grimpeurs et/ou de sauteurs dans plusieurs optiques. Pour le grimpeur ou le sauteur, cela servira à améliorer la rétroaction aux entrainements, à quantifier les séances […]

An infusion pump is a medical device that automatically administers set amounts of drugs into a patient intravenously. Drug errors occur when an incorrect dose or dose rate is programmed. To avoid such errors, a drug library is created providing dose limits for every drug. “Smart” infusion pumps provide a tracking system, saving all pump […]

Drone Delivery Canada (DDC) designs and operates high performance Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) to deliver payloads between depots and warehouses. The DDC engineering department is looking to design and deploy a ground-based system to track and point at the Remotely Piloted Aerial Vehicle (RPAV) during flight in real-time. However, DDC’s RPAS must be able […]

Flocculation is a chemical treatment to improve the settling of fine particulate suspensions in the food, chemical, agricultural, and mineral processing industries. The size, shape, and density of the flocs influences their mechanical strength and settling rate; which are critically related to the efficiency of solid-liquid separation processes. The objective of this research is to […]

The rapid and widespread advancement of cyber-threats within the past few years has had a profound impact on virtually everyone, from ordinary people to governments to local organizations. This has caused cyber-security to be considered a global challenge, which is now requiring innovative solutions, such as incorporating human cognition based methods into the software algorithms […]

This project explores and develops various strategies for the design of net zero energy high-rise mixed-use buildings. Net zero energy refers to the capacity of a building to generate renewable energy to supply all its yearly energy consumption. A mixed-use building combines residential and commercial building functions (e.g. retail, offices, etc.). Strategies that will be […]

Ce projet vise à répondre aux besoins des industriels canadiens aérospatiaux d’aujourd’hui, spécialisés dans la fabrication de composantes en matériaux composites. Ces besoins ont été définis avec plusieurs PME et donneurs d’ordres, dont Bombardier Aérostructures et Services d’Ingénierie, Hutchinson Aéronautique et Industrie Canada, SphèreCo, Texonic, Lubricor, Génik et PCM Innovation. Ce projet se concentrera sur […]

Synchronized cardioversion is a medical treatment that applied an electrical pulse to restore a normal heart rhythm is patients with an abnormally fast heart rate or cardiac arrhythmia. A successful cardioversion is dependent on the amount of electrical current that reaches the heart, which depends on the strength of the electrical pulse and the transthoracic […]

Research is rapidly progressing in enhancing the Artificial Intelligence of Robotics. One backbone of this rapid change lies in Deep Learning. Deep Learning refers to new algorithms that are capable of learning behaviors after being trained by several thousands or even millions of examples of what should be done given an input. My project will […]

Currently, mine water treatment systems within the Sydney Coalfield extract and treat mine water from depth with the aim to gradually ‘flush’ the mine pools of its acid-generating products and achieve good water quality over the long-term. However, since the deep, lower quality mine water is always being treated, significant annual operational costs (>$1 million) […]

Voltage instability is one of the major causes of many blackouts such as Canada-United State blackout (2003), Sweden-Denmark blackout (2003), India blackout (2012), and Turkey blackout (2015). If reliable methods are available for online voltage stability assessment, operators can be warned and automated corrective actions can be initiated to prevent voltage collapse. Although, a large […]

Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by the decline of skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance. To gain a better understanding of this disease and to assess both functional and anatomical effects of sarcopenia, experimental and modeling data have been collected. The neuromuscular models developed in our team and the studies built on them […]
