In 2024, Canada’s coal production was 42.5 mln metric tonnes, while British Columbia coal production, which produces 95% of metallurgical coal, accounted for 64% of Canada’s production according to Statistics Canada, (2024). The metallurgical coal is an important raw material for transition to the clean and renewable energy, because it is used for steel production […]

The project aims to develop and test thermoelectric technology with residential furnaces to generate power. The solution will generate power from waste heat from furnaces with improved energy efficiency. The testing includes thermal measurements, power measurements, and energy efficiency evaluation and optimization.

Mining sustainability as one of Canada’s strategic industries can be effectively enhanced by using digital twins meaning to consider socioeconomic impacts, conserve the natural resources for the current and future generations, and be resilient against climate change over the mine life cycle. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object, system, or […]

Millions of falls occur every year placing substantial burden on all sectors of our society. What causes these falls is difficult to identify and is made more challenging as most of the research did not occur in real-world environments. Our project will develop wearable technology and new methods to study the factors that lead to […]

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

Wildfires pose a growing threat to utility infrastructure in Canada, particularly in regions prone to extreme weather conditions. Utility poles, which support power lines and communication networks, are especially vulnerable to fire damage, leading to costly repairs and service disruptions. With the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires, it is crucial to improve the fire […]

Le projet a pour objectif d’évaluer les performances des pièces faciales filtrantes (PFF) N95 utilisées dans des environnements professionnels exposés aux particules fines. Les PFFs sont testées sous diverses conditions d’utilisation, et le projet proposé s’attèle à mesurer à la fois l’efficacité de filtration et la résistance respiratoire (perte de charge) dans différentes conditions (en […]

This project aims to develop an integrated software and control system solution to tackle the challenges posed by high variability, nonlinear dynamics, and real-time monitoring in bio-processes, specifically within laboratory-scale bioreactors. Employing a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) framework with open hardware and software platforms, the project aims to automate processes, enhance monitoring/control capabilities, […]

Then intent of this project is to develop and demonstrate a highly synchronized communication system capable of connecting multiple devices operating on effectively the same clock. This functionality ensures that any measurement that is made on one single device can be correlated to another measurement made on a separate device with sub-microsecond accuracy. It is […]

In cabinet production, board cutting and cabinet manufacturing need workers to manually operate machines and assembly. The proposed research project will simulate the real-time process of automatic board cutting and manufacture, assembly automatically with the help of various sensors and camara vision. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms enables intelligent decision-making and […]

This one-year Accelerate project is the initial phase of a larger collaboration aiming to improve outcomes for men undergoing a specific prostate cancer treatment. The treatment, called MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA), is a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-intensity ultrasound to destroy prostate tissue, with MRI technology helping to plan and monitor the process. […]

The goal of this project is to develop effective strategies to improve the quality of CarboMat’s asphaltene-derived carbon fibers for various multifunctional composite applications. Through this project, the partner organization, CarboMat Inc., would be able to leverage their funding because of the grant from Mitacs Elevate to work towards further development of their existing asphaltene-derived […]
