Chemically peculiar (CP) stars usually show significantly enhanced or depleted abundances of chemical elements compared to solar abundance. In CP stars of AmFm type, an underabundance of Ca and Sc, and an enhanced overabundance of other metals is observed everywhere in the stellar atmosphere. Some known AmFm stars observed by TESS clearly show pulsations that […]

Our CBU Research Team is working with Net-Zero Atlantic under the NZA Program to develop a point-source carbon capture and storage technology that 1) uses a capture medium constituted from seawater and 2) employs a technique that permanently sequesters the captured carbon as metal carbonates using the contaminated water of flooded former mines. This work […]

This project will determine what safe by-products are being created by the air pollution, including Carbon Dioxide, that RainIons is transforming/reducing with the unique materials and coating, what the mechanism of action is (e.g., how it’s occurring), and help RainIons optimize their technology for production. The project has three phases: • Phase 1: Determine what […]

Hydro-Québec fait face à un contexte où la pérennité des actifs de production devient un enjeu majeur alors qu’elle s’apprête à réfectionner plusieurs de ses alternateurs et malgré le rythme, il est important d’être en mesure de maintenir les exigences et la qualité. Ce projet est important pour Hydro-Québec ainsi que pour l’approvisionnement énergétique du […]

Intrinsik has identified a number of key chemical-pathway combinations that are missing environmental quality guidelines but frequently required for evaluating risks at pipeline compressor stations. With support from senior scientific personnel at Intrinsik, the intern will used environmental risk assessments methods to develop risk-based environmental quality guidelines that are relevant to the land use scenario(s) […]

Portfolio optimization is pivotal in the financial domain, aiming to allocate assets to maximize returns and minimize risk. Conventional optimization techniques often fall short due to the financial markets’ intricate nature, the optimization landscape’s non-convexity, and the vastness of possible portfolios. This project introduces a novel approach by integrating quantum-inspired methods with machine learning techniques […]

The aim of this research internship is to contribute to our group’s research program using laser­ cooled gases to explore fundamental phenomena of quantum materials and to use them to realize new quantum sensors. This research program has two main objectives – the use of ultra-cold atomic and molecular gases to (1) realize new quantum […]

Groups of stars (star clusters) that we see throughout the Universe form inside giant clouds of molecular gas inside galaxies. After a few million years, clusters can disperse surrounding gas through a combination of stellar winds, radiation, and supernovae, making them easier to observe (stellar feedback). While clusters are embedded inside molecular clouds, it is […]

Windsor, Ontario is recognized for its prowess in advanced manufacturing and automation and this project with PROTO Manufacturing Ltd. aims to draw from the innovative atmosphere of our region. PROTO is in the midst of developing a state-of-the-art robotic platform aimed at revolutionizing molecular structure determination—a vital component in diverse domains such as drug discovery […]

The project focuses on studying the physicochemical characteristics of cyclone-collected PM2.5 in urban environments. Utilizing advanced techniques like Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS), the research aims to provide insights into the composition of fine particulate matter, including metals with varying toxicities such as chromium. The innovative methodology involves cyclonic […]

Recent experimental advances have enabled the creation of setups where matter and quantized electromagnetic fields (photons) interact more strongly than the typical energy scale of the matter. Specifically, these strongly coupled light-matter systems have been achieved within the realm of cavity quantum electrodynamic (QED) materials, placing a material of interest inside a cavity of photon […]
