There is an increasing demand for advanced high strength steels in the manufacturing and automotive industries. The use of these steels in cars can lead to weight reduction, improved fuel efficiency and enhanced crash worthiness. The development of these new steels requires the alloying of Fe with increasing amounts of manganese (Mn), silicon (Si) and […]

This project is about integrated photonics. Similar to integrated electronics, both have many applications in our lives such as in communications, biosensing, security, display and imaging. Interestingly, photonic circuits are poised to replace electronics circuits in telecommunications and data centers. Compared to electronics, they will reduce cost, increase speed and bandwidth of the future Internet […]

Conventional wastewater treatment processes consume a large amount of energy and produce around 32% of municipal greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Thus, advanced wastewater treatment technologies with low energy consumption and GHG emissions are highly desirable for environmental protection. Aerobic membrane bioreactor (AeMBR) has been widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater purification. However, the AeMBR technology […]

Water electrolysis plays a vital role in clean energy generation by producing hydrogen from water. Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers represent a novel technology used for this purpose. The performance of such electrolyzers is highly affected by various degradation processes occurring in such systems. In this project, we are aiming to understand the sources of […]

The proposed research is to develop a method for making valid, representative estimates of public opinion from sufficiently large and diverse non-probability samples such as social media data. We aim to demonstrate the theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions to the field of public opinion research by demonstrating the reliability and utility of this method in […]

The Art of Working Together: Developing a Sustainable Model for Arts Informed Research as Social Practice aims to strengthen the capacity of Centre[3] for Artistic and Social Practice (Centre[3]) to support community-based arts-informed research as social practice by developing a model for sustainable partnerships. Centre[3] has a long tradition of research collaborations with institutions (university/college/hospital), […]

While 3D printing has been hyped as the solution to the current shortage of organs available for implantation, the very limited scope of hydrogel-based “inks” that are available to print an implant has limited the practical implementation of 3D printing in regenerative medicine. In this project, we will combine the materials expertise of the Hoare […]

The federal non-refundable Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is an important benefit for people with disabilities as it can provide funding to offset some of the additional costs associated with living with a disability. DTC recipients are also eligible for other federal benefits that can provide an important source of income for people living with disabilities. […]

Edson designs and manufactures innovative machines used for case packaging of goods, food, pharmaceuticals, and other products into corrugated boxes. Machine steps include automatic feeding of the boxes, folding, adding the product, and closing the box top. Market pressures require client ability to swiftly change over to package a new product. Edson must also be […]

Stainless steel permanent cathodes are widely used in the electrodeposition of copper during its production. Copper is mechanically-stripped from the permanent cathode on a regular basis, after which the cathode is typically visually inspected, water-washed and returned to the production cell. However, offline refurbishment is required to ensure a high quality product (chemical purity, surface […]

What does Kmb look like in the social sciences and humanities? Processes that lead to impact start with the creation of new knowledge (output) meant to transform approaches and attitudes, build competency and/or new types of relationships (outcomes). (See e.g., Bailey & Phipps 2019 and Phipps et al. 2016). These changes, in turn, may lead […]

McMaster’s Health Information Research Unit has a long-established track record of identifying and sharing the highest quality, clinically relevant medical research to support healthcare professionals in staying up to date with the latest evidence so they can provide the best care to their patients. We have developed and used traditional search filters to help in […]
