I n effort to reduce the environmental footprint and improve the sustainability of wastewatertreatment plants, this study is focused on the production of energy and the recovery of valueadded products from municipal wastewater via the chemical precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite). The method employs the controlled addition of a suitable magnesium compound such as […]

Everybody Loves Language (ELL) is a language learning solution which provides all the necessary tools and features for organizations to deliver a complete language program to inspire learners at home, in schools, and workplaces around the world. Today, one of the active and student-centered teaching methods is gamification-based learning which is the result of scientific […]

With e-transportation gaining traction within Canada (and N. America), the demand for superior battery performance over a range of operating conditions is garnering interest; especially over varied temperatures (-40ºC to +65ºC). The EV industry is finding it impractical to prove performance over a wide variety of state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH). Instead, testing can be […]

District energy systems are specialized and sophisticated energy solutions that require detailed design and analysis. Integration with utility infrastructure strengthens the resiliency and reliability of the energy services as it enables cities to achieve their energy savings targets and greenhouse gas emission targets. This research will investigate and model the use of distributed energy resources […]

It is well known that space heating is the largest component of energy consumed by Canada’s building sector. Additionally, 64% of the energy used for space heating is from non-renewable sources. For Canada’s remote and rigid communities, which are our immediate target market, this percentage is even higher, greater than 75%. Heat energy naturally flows […]

Through decades of mining and oil exploration, over 10,000 contaminated sites are found in Canada with toxic levels of heavy metals and harmful contaminants. In many cases, the contamination is on local farmland and the impacts on the environment and especially on the native communities and Indigenous inhabitants is devastating. This project will be committed […]

A key objective of this project is to develop an advanced routing strategy that can generate optimal routes for curbside waste collection, residential sweeping, and snowplowing services to improve operational efficiency and save overall costs. To achieve this goal, optimal routing models and algorithms will be developed by integrating graphic theory, vehicle routing problem, and […]

As the climate change problem has been a serious global issue, we have been making effort replace internal combustion engine to electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emission. As demand for EVs increases, it is necessary to research an infrastructure; such as an efficient and intelligent EV charging system, to support various charging services. Wireless […]

The reliance on raw materials from overseas to build lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a major concern for automotive companies building battery electric vehicles in North America. Canada’s rich Ni deposits is a potential solution to this problem. However, Canadian Ni ore are sulfides, so battery manufacturers are reluctance to use it due to possible trace […]

The main objective of this project is to design, develop, and demonstrate Canada’s very first non-parasitic EV (NPEV) fast charging station for e-transportation based on hydrogen fuel cell as the main source of power. The TerraVis® Energy system will be a unique solution capable of providing true 100% green electricity without impinging on the energy […]

OVERVIEW MISSING The research goal of this internship is to develop various configurations of the CANDU 6™ reactor core fuelled with thorium to achieve a conversion ratio of at least one, (i.e. the reactor produces as much fissile material as it consumes). These cores should have equivalent power outputs as the baseline reactor, but achieve […]

Electronic or internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (eCBT has been implemented widely in healthcare settings, but has become even more prevalent since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting decrease in availability of face-to-face treatment. The purpose of this study is to explore the personal experiences of patients and providers who have transitioned between […]
