Ce projet s’inscrivant dans le domaine de l‘ingénierie de visualisation 3D a pour principale objectif de permettre la manipulation de différents types de formats de CAD (Computer Aided Design). Actuellement, les manipulations de formats tel que les nuages de points ou les éléments maillés se font de manière séparée, empêchant le plein potentiel d’un modèle […]

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a diverse, powerful and nondestructive sensing technique amenable to a wide variety of applications. The sensitivity of IR measurements can be greatly improved by local electromagnetic field enhancements provided by nanoscale metallic structures. We propose a novel platform for enhanced IR spectroscopy, consisting of a bowtie structure composed of a nanoscale […]

Canada Pump & Power (CPP) is an Alberta specialized industrial marine company. CPP has a novel proprietary dredge propulsion method based on a set of winch-driven cables: the patented Autonomous Mighty Dredge. Control strategies to date have delivered adequate performance in some operating conditions; the goal is to have the dredge capable of performing to […]

STAGIAIRE1 (PhD1, ISR) Génération et propagation des requis de conception vers le sous-système électronique embarqué. Les objectifs spécifiques du projet de l’étudiant PhD1 (tâches 1.1 et 1.2 du projet global) sont : 1) l’élaboration, la mise en oeuvre et la validation d’une stratégie permettant de déterminer la robustesse inhérente des autres éléments du système global, […]

Printable electronics is a new advanced manufacturing technology, which allows a low-cost and simple fabrication of optical devices. The production consists of three main steps: choosing the materials, printing, and sintering. At first, a metallic ink and a substrate must be chosen. The second step is a printing which could be realized even with a […]

the physics-based modeling of the impact of road pavement characteristics on UHI can be complex and inaccurate. On the other hand, advances in data science and machine learning along with the ever-increasing computational power offer data-driven modeling opportunities that are relatively easy to setup. In recent years, with the rise of the Internet of things […]

In traditional control systems such as industrial plants, automobiles, HVAC systems, etc. consist of a single dynamical system that is controlled by a single controller. Such systems are referred to as centralized control systems. Many of the modern control systems such as networked control systems, Internet of Things, mobile robotics, vehicular platoons, and smart grids […]

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete can induce degradation in its mechanical properties, leading to compromised serviceability and even loss in load capacity of concrete structures. Dams and bridges have been reported to be affected by ASR which lead to expensive mitigation operations as well as demolishing of the structure in Canada and Australia. This research […]

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes which is the most common cause of vision loss among people with diabetes. DR damages and alters the structure of the capillary network (microvasculature) in the retina, a light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye and is responsible for vision. Clinicians can analyze the microvasculature […]

The project will adapt Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) to a cased well. CAES is a mature and proven energy storage technology, however it traditionally uses large salt caverns. By understanding the deformation of a wellbore due to pressure and hot air injection, one may be able to determine the operating range of the system. […]
