The objectives of the proposed research internship is to develop a model of the critical airflow velocity at which the droplets start to move according to the arrangement of the droplets, the wettability of the surface, and the interaction between the droplets on the various functional surfaces and the airflow passing over them, which is […]

This project is to study the sensors (e.g., accelerometers, gyros, magnetometers) which used to measure the flight control system. These sensors are usually are effecting with bias, drift and noise effects. Therefore, the use of sensors fusion algorithms is key to estimate accurately measured and filtered values and to ensure the correct behavior of the […]

Construction industry is considered as one of the major air pollutant emissions sources, such as NOx, PM, COx, SOx and so on. Those air pollutants are detrimental to the ambient air quality, and they can cause immediate and serious damage to the workers’ health. However, in current practices, the potential impacts are significantly underestimated and […]

In a conventional solar cell, over half of the incident sunlight goes to waste, due to failure by the stable semiconductors to absorb the lower energy ranges of the solar spectrum. Attempts to improve the semiconductor absorption capabilities have proved difficult, with relatively little progress made thus far. An alternative solution is to make the […]

Pile foundations have been widely used in many offshore structures and oil and gas development programs such as tension leg platfonn, jack up platfonn, spar platfonn, and mooring of floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units. The FPSO units are usually moored to the seabed with various kinds of anchors, including offshore piles. These piles […]

In order to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional approaches to steel structure damage detection and to improve reliability and safety of existing steel structures, this research proposes to develop an innovative autonomous SHM system that offers transformative enhancements over existing steel structure monitoring systems. This will involve: 1. Collecting Collecting image data from various […]

PbS CQDs solar cells have limitations of improving the efficiency due to low open-circuit voltage (Voc) and low absorbance between 600 nm and 900 nm. To solve these problems, PbS CQDs-polymer hybrid tandem solar cell was developed by introducing a low band-gap polymeric photo-active layer, exhibiting high absorbance in the region of 600 nm to […]

Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool to understand fluid flow mechanisms, well performance and future resources recovery in petroleum industry. Better and more powerful tool can lead to better reservoir management and more oil production with less cost and less environmental impact. This project, collaborating with Saskatchewan Research Council, aims to improve the current mathematical […]

Afin de remédier à la perte d’autonomie chez un amputé, l’utilisation d’une prothèse active, c’est-à-dire qui effectue des mouvements, est recommandée. Toutefois, leur contrôle peu naturel explique pourquoi les amputés adhèrent difficilement à cette solution. Or, un contrôle beaucoup plus intuitif pourrait être effectué en détectant en premier lieu le mouvement souhaité par l’amputé puis […]

Ultra-reliable and low latency communication is increasingly an important aspect of future wireless communications. Specifically, in the context of mission critical communications for large-scale networks of sensors and actuators in automated and/or remote-control applications, low-latency wireless communication with high level of determinism is a vital element. The key performance indicators for such use case are […]

Heart’s electrical activities are traditionally collected by employing multiple electrodes that are connected the patient’s body and collected and recorded on an electrocardiogram. The objective of this project is to enhance the patient’s comfort and allow for a continues ECG monitoring with improved flexibility while minimizing the sacrifices of detected and accumulated data. In this […]

Aeroengines operate at very high speed and high temperatures. Therefore, the transmission system of an aeroengine becomes a critical design process because of its proximity to the combustion chamber. As a result, engineers must understand very well the fluid mechanics phenomena involved in the lubrication and cooling of the transmission components such as the bearing […]
