Carbon Exel’s mission is to defossilize the hard-to-decarbonize sectors by generating a low-carbon electro-diesel or e-diesel fuel. E-diesel is derived by transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) and green hydrogen (H2) into e-diesel powered by renewable electricity (hydro, wind, etc.). E-diesel releases 80% less CO2 emissions than traditional diesel, making it a viable option to reduce and […]

Amylior Inc., une entreprise spécialisée dans les fauteuils roulants motorisés, travaille sur un projet innovant visant à améliorer la vie des utilisateurs de ces fauteuils. L’objectif est de créer un fauteuil intelligent capable de s’adapter aux besoins spécifiques de chaque personne, en surveillant des paramètres comme la pression et la posture. Cela permettrait de prévenir […]

Ce projet de recherche est mené en partenariat avec Les Commissionnaires du Québec, une OSBL oeuvrant dans le domaine de la sécurité au Québec, et des chercheurs de Polytechnique Montréal. L’objectif du projet est de concevoir un prototype de système de recommandation pour supporter le processus d’appel d’offres, et à terme, d’améliorer la rentabilité des […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Lululemon is a global leader in athletic apparel industry, focusing on high-quality, functional, and sustainable textiles. With a commitment to environmental responsibility, the partner is targeting 75% sustainable materials by 2025 and aims to source e.g. all cotton from sustainable sources. This joint project aligns with their sustainability mission by addressing two critical challenges: the […]

This project aims to improve the early detection of pressure injuries (PIs) in children with disabilities who wear casts for long periods. PIs occur when continuous pressure over bony areas damages the skin, leading to pain, infections, and longer hospital stays. Currently, it is difficult to monitor the skin under a cast because it cannot […]

In this project the interns will work with a leading ultrasound imaging company, FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc, developing advanced ultrasound beamforming techniques (the process by which images are formed) using specialized ultrasound instrumentation (the F2 system using the VADA platform) that will produce high resolution images of blood vessels in tissues. These advanced beamforming techniques (based […]

This project aims to revolutionize the design of nanoparticle-infused structural materials by combining Generative AI with a ‘satisficing’ approach—prioritizing practical, manufacturable solutions over purely mathematical optimization. Instead of searching for a single perfect design, our method will generate a variety of high-performing, user-acceptable, and manufacturable structures using AI-driven models. By integrating a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework, […]

This project aims to reduce particulate emissions below 2.5 g/h from wood furnaces to comply with EPA and CSA standards. We will develop an innovative adsorbent column to capture particulate emissions. We will investigate the effects of different adsorbents and their blending ratios on capturing particulate emissions.

Preserving fruits and vegetables represents a significant global challenge due to their high susceptibility to spoilage driven by the phytohormone ethylene. Ethylene accelerates ripening, leading to a rapid decline in the quality and shelf life of produce, ultimately causing substantial postharvest losses. Currently, traditional approaches, such as potassium permanganate, are widely used for ethylene absorption […]

Livestock production is the number one agricultural source of greenhouse gases worldwide. Research shows that livestock feed greatly contributes to greenhouse gases from meat, milk, and eggs, making up more than 70% of the total emissions. The information available to Jefo from a previous project with the same team shows that their feed additives can […]

In this project, three different phases including a series of structural tests on a novel full-scale precast fiber-reinforced tunnel lining segments reinforced with FRP composite materials are proposed. The three different phases include (1) Structural testing of novel precast concrete tunnel lining segments in the structural laboratory, University of Sherbrooke; (3) field implementation, application, and […]
