The main goal of the proposed work is to develop an ultra-thin and selective GO membrane capable of separating water vapor or steam from air. For this purpose, a suitable membrane supports required to hold the GO sheets. Therefore, the GO sheets will be deposited on various membrane supports and their performance in terms of […]

Champion Iron Mines est une société de développement et d’exploration québécoise effectuant de l’exploration régionale dans la plus importante région de production de minerai de fer du Canada. Le minerai se trouve dans des formations de fer plissées en une géométrie complexe lors de la formation de la chaîne de montagne « Grenville » il […]

Pneumonia remains the single leading cause of childhood death under age 5 worldwide. The price per dose of current vaccines is high and supply is limited due to a complex manufacturing process and low yield, significantly reducing its distribution in developing nations.1 A newly patented vacuo dry-glycation process promises much higher efficacy than the conjugation […]

The Province of Alberta (AB) has decided to phase out coal power generation by 2030 and increase renewable electricity production to 30% of total power generation, also by 2030 with the remaining 70% of the power generation being dependent on natural gas. It has been conjectured that part of generation portfolio could be diversified to […]

Game-based learning tools often make use of questions to measure and encourage learning, but generating questions can be challenging, especially at the scale that companies like Axonify are required to do. In this project, the intern will design, implement, and evaluate a system that can apply machine-learning on a corpus of text (e.g., a textbook) […]

In this project, a new method is developed to optimize the performance of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for autonomous detection and on-the-job view-planning of infrastructure elements with the purpose of their accurate three-dimensional (3D) modeling. The existing view-planning approaches in the literature have mostly modeled non-complex or small-scale objects and have rarely been adapted […]

The research focuses on the crucial needs for the optimization of biofuel production process. It supports the Canadian energy and environment sectors which are seriously searching for more efficient process, targeting the increasing concern of the society with respect to the fossil fuel energy resources depletion and environmental footprints.

Devonian reservoirs have contributed significantly to the development of the petroleum industry in Alberta. This is mainly due to their favourable characteristics of high permeability enhanced by dolomitization in these often reefal structures. Although many have had good recoveries, much oil remains to be recovered. Many of the same characteristics that led to good production […]

Le présent projet est pour la conception d’une nouvelle lame de patin de hockey qui sera imprimée 3D pour les patins Bauer. Dans ce projet, un nouvel alliage métallique sera développé pour avoir un comportement comme une lame de patin. Ce projet a un avantage de faire avancer les recherches pour les nouveaux matériaux imprimables […]

Niedner Inc is a Quebec-based industrial partner, specializing in manufacturing of fire hoses and water tubing systems, which are vastly used e.g. in forestry fire, the environmental management of contaminated site remediation and water main rehabilitation applications. Their state of the art facility consists of in excess of 70,000 square feet and is exclusively devoted […]

Trust lies at the very foundations of computer and information security, and is the basis for real-world schemes that require security properties, such as those that underlie consumer banking. Under this research project, we will investigate models for delegation of trust that meet desirable properties, for example, that guarantee that no security compromises occur unless […]

In this research, a new approach to efficiently simulate large RLC represent power systems will be introduced and implemented in RTDS. The new approach utilize principle component analysis to search the subspace of state space vectors corresponding to a customer designed frequency band excitations and using projection method to form the reduced order system. Unlike […]
