Over the past decade, the telecommunication sector progressed and evolved quickly due to the installation of cloud-based artificial intelligence, which now needs at least data rates of 1.6 Tb/s and beyond to meet global demand. These changes are pushing the industry towards deploying scalable, highly performing, and low-energy-consuming computing units in telecom interconnect infrastructure. This […]

Our group develops advanced tools that allow us to observe and understand materials operating within the realm of quantum physics, particularly those that emit light at the smallest scales. Quantum materials, often regarded as the superheroes of the science world, possess unique properties that can revolutionize technology—from ultra-fast computers to highly secure communication systems. To […]

Our technology surrounds the development of nanogel-based delivery systems to enhance the efficacy and stability of cosmetic products for skin care. Nanogels encapsulate active ingredients, protecting them from degradation and sustained release on the skin surface. This can act as a delivery system to ensure beneficial compounds’ controlled and sustained release, maximizing their impact. The […]

My Ph.D. research with Prof. Hanan focuses on developing first-row (3d) transition metal complexes as photosensitizers for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (PHER). This is crucial due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. PHER is crucial in global material, physical, and chemical science research. We are designing organic ligands to fine-tune the coordination sphere of […]

This Mitacs Business Strategy Internship (BSI) Grant Application is focused on developing an analytical assay for detecting several breast cancer (BC) markers in serum. As an upgrade to the existing methods for quantifying BC serum markers, we aim to integrate several electrodes on the same sensor platform that will be bio-engineered to target one type […]

Nous allons faire l’analyse par résonance magnétique nucléaire du solide de bétons contenant du métakaolin (argile calcinée). Il est considéré que le métakaolin pourrait éventuellement remplacer le ciment Portland, dont la fabrication est l’un des principaux contributeurs à l’émission de gaz à effet de serre. Ce stage se fera dans le laboratoire de Science et […]

The proposed research project aims to gain crucial insights into the stellar assembly of galaxies using advanced machine learning techniques. Most galaxies in the Universe are not isolated systems; they grow primarily through interactions and mergers with other galaxies. While we know that mergers significantly impact galaxy evolution, quantifying the contribution of accretion to a […]

Lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly common as the demand for energy storage in vital sectors like automotive and grid storage is on the rise. Each year, lithium-ion battery manufacturers dispose of 2% to 10% of their products, leading to financial losses of up to billions of dollars. Our research group recently found that inactive components […]

Fuel cells are versatile, low-emission alternative energy sources, but their optimization and failure analyses are complex due to their black-box nature. For fuel cells to perform at peak proficiency, each component requires a different level of hydration, yet these parameters are currently unattainable with conventional diagnostic techniques. In consultation with Greenlight Innovation, this project focuses […]

Computational chemistry is a powerful tool in the development of new pharmaceuticals, materials, and batteries. With accurate and fast computational methods, one can predict the physical and chemical properties of a molecule without having to prepare it in a laboratory and perform experiments, which can yield dramatic time and cost savings. However, the chemistry of […]

My project involves the development of sustainable and economical nanocomposite 3D material. The project aims to address the issue of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) contamination of wastewater. The presence of pharmaceuticals and PPCPs in aquatic environments has become a pressing global issue, endangering marine life and human health. PPCPs encompass a broad range […]

Chemical reactions are traditionally run as single batches in glasswear such as vials or round-bottom flasks. Conversely, flow chemistry is a discipline in which reactions are run in a continuously flowing stream. Flow chemistry offers several advantages over batch chemistry, such as improved mass transfer, increased efficiency, reduced waste, improved scalability, and greater control over […]
