The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines IPD as: “…a collaborative alliance of people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.” Integrated Project […]

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are in high demand in short-reach optical interconnects. Reflex Photonics is a leading company in developing VCSEL-based optical transceivers for the harsh environments. So far, the speeds up to 12.5 Gb/s for a reach of 100 m have been achieved. One of the key bottleneck in developing rugged transceivers […]

Making robots walk and balance as well as humans is extremely difficult. New techniques involving machine learning have shown promise in getting robots to mimic the movements of humans recorded using motion capture technology widely used for videogames and movies. While these techniques show promise, they are still in development, and have difficulty switching between […]

The deployment of WSN in various field actually boost the quality of our daily life. Unfortunately, with the increasingly exponential growth of devices and vulnerability of wireless transmission being exposed to the air, secure transmission of WSN has drawn plenty of attention both in the community of communication and signal processing. For the sake of […]

Stirred mill grinding is a complex and energy-intensive process that involves multiple phases. Multi-scale phenomena that drive hydrodynamic and particle breakage processes in the stirred mill are still not fully understood, due to a number of operating and design parameters that affect mill performance, including disk and barrel geometry, agitation rate, grinding media size and […]

Participating to the Mitacs Globalink program will give me the chance to carry on research at TUM, joing the research group at the Lehrstuhl fur Technische Chemie II. I will work under the supervision of Prof. Johannes Lercher and I will learn how to combine advanced physicochemical methods to characterize the methane reaction on surfaces […]

This research will (i) identify and quantify potential flexibility that is inherent in gas and heat systems (e.g. gas and thermal storage and demand response capability) across various scales (i.e. buildings, district heating system, national gas transmission systems), (ii) optimize the provision of flexibility from gas and heat systems to support the operation of a […]

À l’ère de ‘l’industrie 4.0’ qui prône le numérique et la connectivité, la gestion et l’exploitation des connaissances fournissent un avantage significatif dans un contexte manufacturier toujours plus concurrentiel. Cela permet le transfert de connaissances, la formation, la résolution de problèmes complexes ainsi que la prédiction de phénomènes. Les données de production peuvent provenir de […]

This project’s objective is to develop a capability to detect and describe anomalous situations in ground vehicle traffic. Anomalous situations are described as substantial/important changes from the traffic frequently observed for a particular route and/or time. In this sense, anomaly can be quantitatively measured by the degree of predictability of current traffic given historical observations. […]

Le projet de recherche qui sera entrepris pendant le stage portera sur l’étude numérique de l’effet d’une nouvelle classe des matériaux à changement de phase, nommée Nano-MCP, sur les performances du stockage d’énergie. Par définition, un nano-MCP est un mélange des nanoparticules de haute conductivité thermique avec des MCPs conventionnels, tel que le paraffine et […]

L’une des principales grandes orientations de développement d’Hydro-Québec concerne les disjoncteurs à haute tension, essentiels au fonctionnement sûr d’un réseau d’énergie électrique. En service, les opérations de manoeuvre/commutation peuvent imposer de sévères contraintes aux disjoncteurs à haute tension. Cela, en raison des contraintes diélectriques et mécaniques fréquentes qui peuvent entrainer des défaillances compromettant la sécurité […]

One of the major challenges facing the 21st century is the antibacterial fight. Traditional methods such as antibiotics are ineffective in many cases of chronic infections or food contaminations. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the formation of biofilms where bacteria are protected from the environment by a protective barrier made of polymers. […]
