A major part of the generated electrical energy in the power systems is consumed by the electric machines to support the required mechanical energy for the clients in various applications such as pumps, oil and gas, household, electric vehicles, etc. In large scales, higher efficiency, reliability, and life time of the employed electric machines in […]

A high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) transmission system provides an efficient, reliable, economical and environment-friendly solution to interconnect between different power systems. HVDC permits electric power to be distributed to remote areas, which benefits the community with economic electricity usage and the government with extra financial revenues. This proposed project aims to investigate novel methods to […]

Various hydrogel membrane resonators will be fabricated with hydrogels exhibiting different molecular weights and structures along with varying concentrations of the photoinitiator and ultraviolet doses. Then, resonance sensitivity of fabricated hydrogel membranes will be investigated with optical and electrical readout techniques. Using the dynamic mask, various hydrogel membrane resonators with different sizes and shapes will […]

What would it mean to have a background, visceral sense of a partner on an ongoing basis, as we moved throughout our day? How would it change our behaviour and how might it assist us? The SenseProxy application at the core of my Ph.D. research seeks to answer these questions. By joining Prof. Jessica Cauchard’s […]

Biomass materials have been a source of energy for years to now and their effective conversion into usable energy form is always under research to get improved results. Various techniques and systems have been developed to exploit different biomass materials so far and this research aims to study the effect of nano NiO particles as […]

The electroencephalogram (EEG) reflects the neural electrical activity and used in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems which provide assistive technologies for people with various disabilities. The proposed research is mainly focused to apply Nonnegative matrix factorization for EEG signal enhancement for BCI applications to mitigate the limitations of existing BCI system such as slow speeds, limitation […]

This project will attempt to improve knowledge of the condition of the roof of mining rooms in potash mining. Typically a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems pointing overhead and connected to a mining machine is used to assess the conditions of the roof. This is important in order to avoid rock falls which endanger lives, […]

One of the most challenging issues in the gold mining industry comes from the carbonaceous ore components adsorbing gold ion complexes, resulting in up to 90% gold loss during cyanide leaching process. The addition of chemical reagents as blinding agents is one of the most promising methods to blind the organic carbon content of ore […]

Seismic response analysis are evaluations that aim to capture how the geological and geotechnical properties of soil deposits at a particular site affect earthquake motions at ground level. Commonly, this type of analysis is performed by assuming the soil layers are horizontal and that the earthquake motion travels in only one direction. However, in reality […]

Nowadays, automotive companies are seeking to use prospective robust, light-weight, anti-corrosive and cost-effective composites such as fibre reinforced polymer (FRP), instead of traditional materials like steel or aluminum alloy, to make their products more competitive in the market. The sponsor company in this project, Litens Automotive Group, is investigating the feasibility of adopting FRP to […]

L’imagerie cone beam CT (CBCT) prend une place de plus en plus importante dans l’exploration des structures osseuses du complexe dento-maxillo-facial. Cette modalité d’imagerie, moins irradiante que l’imagerie par tomodensitométrie conventionnelle (TDM), procure des images de qualité similaire, voire supérieure, à celle des images TDM. Toutefois, les rapports Signal/Bruit ne sont pas assez élevés, et […]
