Optical gyroscopes are instruments capable of measuring rotations. The creation of miniature optical gyroscopes could lead to the development of self-navigating small crafts such as drones. Microresonator-based optical gyroscopes, where light is trapped in a ring-like structure and propagates differently depending on whether it is moving clockwise or counter-clockwise, are the best candidates to create […]

The proposed research project addresses the critical issue of the ground responses of frozen soils in cold regions, specifically focusing on the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of frozen soils during freeze-thaw actions. During the ground freezing process, the freezing front penetrates progressively downward in soils and frost heave can be generated. Frost heave is a common cause […]

The applications of the future will require support for ultra-low delay, high bandwidth, and multiple data streams into the gigabit-per-second range. 5G-Advanced and 6G networks with the assumption that width bandwidth will be available through the utilization of high-frequency spectrum. However, this increased bandwidth comes at the cost of unpredictable scenarios, such as sudden changes […]

The project’s goal is to find out if the network size estimator L-OCI, designed for direct-to satellite Internet of Things LoRa based scenarios, can be extended and/or adapted to work based on LR-FHSS. We want to see if they can handle many devices, and whether this combination is good or bad for a specific problem. […]

Intestinal ‘organoids’ refer to a miniature intestine that can be grown in a laboratory dish. This organoid can mimic the biology of the real human intestine. We developed a novel organoid which can replicate our intestine to an astounding degree. In this project, we aim to test the capacity of this novel intestinal organoid to […]

The way people spend their money—their consumer behaviour—can be categorized in terms of materialism or minimalism. More specifically, materialist individuals tend to accumulate material goods, seek new acquisitions often overbuying, and cling to useless objects. In turn, minimalists purchase only essential items, reuse what is still functional, and discard the superfluous. Although materialism is often […]

“Cairo’s Public Space Problem: A Historical Overview” aims to study the development and de-development of urban sites allowing the free gathering of Egyptians from different classes during the first half of the twentieth century. It explores the different forces at play–local and global, popular and state–in determining the shape of Cairo’s public squares, parks, and […]

Après de nombreuses années de guerre, l’Ukraine est quotidiennement confrontée à la nécessité de restaurer rapidement le réseau ferroviaire après les bombardements et de rétablir la communication avec les territoires dé-occupés afin d’augmenter la croissance économique et d’améliorer la communication régionale. L’objectif principal de ce projet de recherche à Mitacs Globalink est d’optimiser la prise […]

The research project aims to assess the current situation and future prospects for the transition to renewable energy generation in Ukraine. The need of such transition has become urgent since the Russian invasion of Ukraine which made dependency on fossil fuels one of the key exploits by Russia on the European political arena. As European […]

The proposed project is focused on the coordination protocols for vehicles that try to exploit a cooperative perception of the environment. The cooperative perception and sensing allow to improve the safety of autonomous vehicles over the streets. In particular, the joint use of LIDAR, Cameras, radars, and ultra-sonic sensors permits to perceive objects, obstacles and […]

In machining applications, the robot can rotate about the tool axis without affecting machining results. This additional freedom is beneficial in the sense that it can be used to avoid robot singularities, joint limits, collisions, etc. In this project, we will investigate methods of managing this additional degree of freedom automatically. Further, between operations, the […]

A GIS-based water quality assessment approach will be developed in this study, and it is based on a comparison analysis using USA, Canadian and Chinese water quality index models. The method is developed within Geographic information system?GIS? framework. It has the functionalities to manage a large amount of georeferenced input data, to run different water […]
