Occupational exoskeletons (OEs), including arm-support exoskeletons (ASEs) and back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are wearable devices designed to assist and enable human motion for workers in various industries ranging from manufacturing to construction. As with workers in other industries, the opportunity provided by ASEs and BSEs for construction workers is to reduce injury rates for the benefit […]

Laser wire stripping is an emerging technology, and this project aims to develop a laser process to achieve adequate stripping of the polyamide insulation from the platinum wire. To optimize the process, the laser parameters (speed, power, and focus) must be fine-tuned. Post stripping, the project focus will shift to identifying the characteristics of the […]

Cloud computing is gaining traction during this last decade through its offering of almost unlimited computer resources accessible from anywhere with minimal management efforts. However, one of its less favorable aspects is security. Currently, the flexibility and elasticity of the cloud are not adequately used to put in place a more efficient defense. This project […]

In order to make the drilling tools more efficient and easier to control, some methodologies inspired by former researches are used in designation of the control system for electrical submersible pumps working underground. This system will be consuming less energy than former ones since the thermal loss is reduced, which would be realized via a […]

Water distribution systems deliver clean water to urban dwellers. To ensure safe water quality is maintained as it is conveyed through the system and to the user, a maximum retention time must be met. Terminal sections of water distribution networks, also known as dead-ends, are notably problematic because water is stagnant. Many cities have opted […]

This project aims to create a pain management application to complement Juno Technologies Inc.’s innovative medical device designed to relieve menstrual pain quickly and effectively.

Lunar and Martian exploration have been active topics in engineering and scientific research for the past decades. With several upcoming international and commercial missions bringing new organizations to the Lunar surface, there is heightened interest in micro-rovers that can reduce mission costs and overall risk. Reduction of cost and risk is possible by predicting the […]

A digital twin is a virtual representation of the real world by simulating physical assets, materials, or systems. Such a continuous interaction imposes new challenges to software components that should be configurable on the fly and scalable to the requests changing over time. Hence software computing solutions are essential to empower digital twin implementation to […]

Our project focuses on developing a new device to create nanosized particles called lipid-based nanoparticles (LBNs) that can carry substances like genes, drugs, and proteins. LBNs have been successful in COVID vaccines and cancer treatments, but developing these therapies is challenging and requires specialized knowledge and equipment. To address this, we aim to create a […]

This research project aims to enhance the feeling of touch in artificial limbs and robots through a cutting-edge solution called biomimetic electronic skin. Existing touch technologies are limited, and this study is set out to make them feel more lifelike for amputees and more capable for robotic systems. We are developing an efficient electronic system […]

Safety is one of the greatest concerns during projects lifecycles, due to the potential risks and hazards inherent in their activities. To reach an acceptable level of safety in projects and guarantee a hazard-free work environment, some structured approaches should be applied. In this respect, Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis is a systematic process for […]

The proposed project aims at exploring the technical and financial feasibility of integrating Photovoltaic (PV) technologies in available facades of a new multistorey building. The research consists of two main design objectives1) exploring various characteristics of available facades to functionally and aesthetically integrate PV modules, and 2) explore the feasibility of the designed PV façade […]
