The continuously increasing demand for wireless access, driven by the increasing requirements of our connected society, is pushing current wireless cellular communication systems to the limits of their capacity. The objective of this project is to continue the successful collaboration with our industry partner (Telus Corporation) to further contribute to the evolution of current generation […]

High-performance computing and communication infrastructure has reached an industrial scale, with equipment racks 100 meters long interconnected by cables carrying data at speeds exceeding 10Gb/s. This has led to growing interest in optical fiber communication for interconnect within infrastructure computing and communication installations, displacing conventional copper interconnect. Transitioning these relatively short-reach parallel links to optical […]

Cellular wireless communication has reached a level of coverage and reliability that it is considered a commodity. However, the dramatic increase in Internet traffic to and from wireless devices poses significant challenges for network operators. While the current growth of traffic is mostly due to consumers communicating more frequently and larger amounts of data over […]

Urban development increases the runoff of precipitation to streams and rivers, degrading the environment in terms of water resources and habitat. While detention ponds can slow the water down and improve the water quality, larger volumes of water are still released to streams in most urban areas. New technologies in Low Impact Development (LID) provide […]

Occupants of high-speed marine vehicles are subjected to repetitive, intense wave impacts. These slam events can diminish the operating capacity of crew and pose long-term health risks. Shock-mitigating suspension seats can help solve this problem, and these solutions are being adopted by fleets worldwide. However, a robust method for measuring seat performance and comparing alternative […]

As one of the novel element of a new technology for enhanced recovery and upgrading directly in the reservoir of bitumen and heavy oils, the unit for the online and on-field manufacturing and delivery of nanocatalysts into the reservoir will be constructed during 2015. The specialized and uniquely designed compact device, currently referred to as […]

Fatal personnel injury due to accidental contact with high voltage lines and equipment happens from time to time despite of substantial efforts put in place by industry to minimize the risk. The objective of the project is to identify effective concepts, techniques and solutions to reduce the risk of inadvertent contact with high voltage equipment […]

The main objective of this research project is to obtain an additive helps to increase the cetane number as well as reducing fuel consumption in diesel engines. In the proposed study, we will perform the characterization of available petroleum diesel and analyze their properties. The ethanol based additive later will be added in several different […]

The project focuses on the design and development of a wearable electric field sensor. Mathematical simulation, mechanical design, optical system built-up and signal processing will be involved. The project will be conducted in the Laboratory of Ultra High Precision Mechatronics at Beihang University (BUAA), Beijing. The student will need to analyze and simulate the relation […]

Ultraviolet disinfection has been widely applied for drinking water and wastewater treatments because of its effective inactivation of many waterborne pathogens and its minimal formation of disinfection by-products. The most implemented method for validation is biodosimetry, which involves bioassay to yield a simplified UV dose value. This dose value is called reduction equivalent dose. However, […]
