Mon projet de recherche porte sur l’étude des mécanismes de fluage du béton à l’échelle de la microstructure. Une récente étude montre que la déformation de nombreux ponts excède de manière critique les prévisions obtenues en suivant les normes internationales actuellement en vigueur. Depuis l’effondrement du pont Koror-Babeldaob aux Palaos en 1996, l’urgence d’améliorer la […]

L’aéroélasticité consiste à déterminer les déformations et les vibrations induites par des fluides sur une structure et celles-ci sont particulièrement critiques pour l’industrie aéronautique. Par exemple, l’enveloppe opérationnelle d’un aéronef est très souvent limitée par l’apparition d’un phénomène appelé flottement qui consiste en des oscillations de l’aile ou des surfaces de contrôle. Ces oscillations sont […]

Drone technology has recently gained wide-scale acceptance in multiple military and commercial applications, including security surveillance and medicine delivery. In 2017 alone, the market revenue from drones is estimated to be around $6 billion. With this, there is also an emerging need for sophisticated anti-drone technology to detect rogue drones entering secure territories, such as […]

Bone defects may arise from trauma, congenital disease, tissue/vascular necrosis or tumor radiotherapy/excision. Rising rates of the ageing population are expected to dramatically increase the demand for orthopaedic procedures and associated waiting periods for patient treatment. Current techniques to repair and regenerate of mineralized tissues possess inherent limitation and may be overcome by tissue engineering. […]

Providing guidance that is relevant and timely can result in better business outcomes. In this project we will focus on how to provide human computer interaction guidance in a timely, low effort way to novice software designers. The Mitacs intern will be embedded at the Apps Factory where he will provide guidance to a team […]

Processors are the computational core of a computer system, and the most important component governing a computer’s overall performance. As processors increase in computational power, their required electrical power and the resulting heat generated correspondingly rise. A processor cooling system is therefore necessary to prevent the processor from overheating. Although processor cooling research has been […]

Bi-functional metal oxide electro-catalyst for energy application are a novel area of research with application mainly in energy storage and conversion device. They enable a single device to perform oxidation and reduction reaction subsequently, which reduces the cost and increase the versatility of energy storage and conversion technology such as fuel cell, electrolyser and flow […]

Les polymères thermoplastiques renforcés de fibres naturelles s’ offrent une gamme intéressante de propriétés mécaniques spécifiques combinées à une empreinte environnementale maîtrisée. Mais, en raison de la faible résistance thermique des fibres végétales, la plupart des voies de traitement appliquées à ces biocomposites, y compris, le moulage par injection, etc., ont un effet important sur […]

Quaternion Engineering Inc. (QEI) is developing a series of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) optimized to address the growing demand for low cost, turnkey commercial and military solutions. Recent market research has shown an emerging commercial market for UAVs in applications such as small scale surveillance, remote sensing and inspection. As this market emerges there will […]

Le sang d’abattoir est un déchet, produit en grande quantité (121 millions de litres en 2016) et peu valorisé. L’hydrolyse de l’hémoglobine, une des principales protéines du sang, permet l’obtention de peptides antimicrobiens et antioxydants pouvant être réutilisés comme agents de conservation. Cependant, en hydrolyse classique, les ajouts d’acide et de base chimiques sont nécessaires […]

In this project we address the problem of power consumption for wireless sensor nodes. This is where among different components of a sensor, RF transceivers consume a significant amount of power e.g. approximately 80%. Hence the main objective is this project is to tackle the power consumption problem at the RF transmitter, where we aim […]

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 1 in 68 children. Approaches that use technology can potentially decrease cost of ASD interventions and treatments and contribute to improving their effectiveness. There is currently not enough evidence to inform how these technology-based interventions should be designed. The goal of this study is to fill […]
