Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a critical energy storage device in various applications, such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and grid storage, due to their high energy density and good rate capabilities. Carbon-based materials have been widely used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Among them, graphite is the most common anode material used […]

Le projet consiste à utiliser un microgel déjà existant constituer d’un polymère ainsi que des particules d’or. Ce microgel présente des caractéristiques de gonflement réversible. Ces gonflements peuvent être maîtrisés par l’irradation à la lumière du microgel. A partir de ce microgel, on souhaite y greffer des nouveaux polymères. Les greffages auront lieu soit directement […]

This project is part of a larger project that seeks to develop an effective, accurate, and cost-effective way to measure soil carbon, improve soil health, and sequester carbon. The interns will gather process samples from across Alberta. The resulting data will contribute to the creation of a digital soil organic carbon map for Alberta that […]

Maintaining all of the equipment in the payload designed for space/near-space operation is a challenge. Because there is insufficient air in the high-altitude environment, the only way to remove heat from sensitive equipment is through conduction and radiation cooling. Other stringent constraints for such payloads, including power consumption, size limitation, and weight limitation, require thermal […]

Even at end of life, automotive rubber is a very resilient product as shown by the difficulty in recycling/reusing rubber tires. Based on a technology to dissolve rubber tires developed in our lab, this project will seek to use “less chemistry” to create siliconized rubber crumb from used tires. The original quality of the automotive […]

Wildland fires in western Canada are increasing in intensity and the area burned due to extensive climate warming and drying. This has caused fires to become less predictable for fire management agencies, with up to $1 billion per year spent on fire mitigation strategies. As such, the methods used for fire reduction in Canada in […]

Internship for Project Coordinating and Project Management of a Mechanical Contractor. This will give the to be determined intern lots of experience, along with learning some updated practices from the intern that we can introduce to our current model.
