The objective of this project is to find new ternary compounds rich in Mg. More specifically, we will study the ternary compounds Mg-TM-RE through where TM is a transition metal and RE is a rare earth. It has been recently shown that alloys of this composition have interesting hydrogen storage properties. The intern will synthesize […]

Few characterization techniques are available to study solid-state battery materials. The resolutions required to obtain insightful results are below 10 microns. Additionally, both information about the mineral phase for solid-state electrolytes and the elemental analysis are crucial for material research. Current methods have poor sensitivity to light elements such as lithium, therefore the need for […]

Water electrolysis has attracted attention as a sustainable and clean means for the production of hydrogen. Research focus is shifting from proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis towards anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis. However, there is a gap between studies of electrode materials in aqueous electrolytes and real devices utilizing ion conducting membranes. The […]

Biofouling is the process where marine organisms adhere to surfaces used in aquaculture and marine applications, such as tanks, netting, plumbing, and hull surfaces. The additional weight and drag on surfaces and narrowing of openings in netting or plumbing strongly affect energy costs and efficiency of operations. Conventional anti-biofouling coatings contain tin or copper, which […]

Imaging of cerebral perfusion (the delivery of blood to a capillary bed in the brain tissue) is significant for diagnosing a variety of diseases. There are multiple challenges associated with perfusion imaging which significantly limits the quality of cerebral perfusion images. I am planning to develop a novel approach of cerebral perfusion magnetic resonance imaging […]

Many drugs, such as those made of antibodies, are produced using cells from bacteria and other organisms. Companies such as BioVectra use this approach to produce antibody drugs efficiently and cost-effectively. At the end of the production process, residue such as protein from the “host” cells (called host cell proteins, or HCPs) must be removed […]

Une mission satellitaire lancée en collaboration par l’Agence Spatiale Canadienne et Environnement et changements climatique Canada projette d’envoyer un satellite muni d’un radar à ouverture synthétique en bande Ku en orbite dans les prochaines années. L’objectif de cette mission est d’effectuer le suivi de la neige dans l’Hémisphère nord en utilisant la télédétection radar. Le […]

With our increasing dependence on technology, the total energy consumption from electronic devices for computation is projected to surpass all other contributions. By creating atomic-scale devices at the fundamental limits in size and energy cost, we can reduce their overall energy consumption while increasing computational power. While proof of concept devices are already routinely created, […]

This project will contribute to an assessment of the historical and contemporary “state of the environment” of Bonne Bay. The aim is to establish the extent to which its marine and littoral ecosystems are resilient and “healthy”, and what changes, if any, have occurred in recent decades to its physical, biological and ecological components. These […]

The project work falls in the field of production of Biosuccinic acid which considered as a important intermediate chemical from woody biomass(lignocellulosic biomass). Conventionally,Succinic acid is made from nonrenewable sources i.e.crude oil. Dr.Rakshit’s lab already patented a process of biosuccinic acid from woody biomass at lab scale. The ultimate objective of this project is to […]

Brachytherapy dosimetry is traditionally based on the American Association for Physicists in Medicine Task Group No. 43 report, referred to as TG-43. The TG-43 dose calculation formalism describes dose delivery around a single source centrally positioned in a spherical water phantom. Patient geometry, tissue compositions, and density heterogeneities are ignored, as are foreign objects such […]
