Currently, green ammonia is produced using a process that combines green hydrogen and nitrogen. There’s a newer method called Direct Ammonia Synthesis (DAS) that can be better because it can produce green ammonia directly, without going through the extra steps of producing green hydrogen and then combining it with nitrogen. This could save a lot […]

The proposed internship, developed between the University of Waterloo and Philip Beesley Architect Inc. (PBAI), will develop and validate prototypes for novel expressive interactive sculpture environments. The work incorporates human perceptual studies and machine learning techniques for generating models for perception and generation of affective expression within experimental architecture and installations, and systematically deriving the […]

Drilling is a major operation in the mining industry. Holes are drilled in underground mine structures to insert reinforced steel bars for support and to prevent the mine from collapsing. One of the mining operations is to break mine rocks using explosives into smaller parts that can be transported for further processing. Both cases need […]

Digital Trust Test Bench (DTT) is a quality assurance tool for digital credentials, allowing governments and organizations to test digital credentials to ensure compatibility with other platforms. The cloud-based platform enables interoperability testing among technology components and solutions within the digital trust ecosystem. DTT is designed to be an all-in-one platform for digital trust ecosystem […]

In this project, we aim to investigate the applicability of a digital micromirror device (DMD) combined with microfluidic devices for the fabrication of complex 3D constructs at a micron scale. The fabricated constructs will be used as microrobots for biomedical applications.

Rogers Communications, with around 8,000 cell towers in Canada, faces challenges in manual inspections, which are slow and risky. In collaboration with Rogers, our research team is developing a cutting-edge solution: small drones enhanced with 5G and AI technology. This approach aims to revolutionize tower inspections by providing faster, more accurate, and safer methods. The […]

It’s generally well-accepted that some technical teams are more agile than others in their market. These traits are often associated with startups, and statements like “Startups move faster” are rarely challenged. We would like to observe these organizations in their natural habitat, collect data across a wide range of activities, and find correlations between these […]

This research collaboration, aligned with the 2050 sustainability goals, is dedicated to advancing membrane dehumidification technology through the application of computational fluid dynamics. Our primary objective is to scale up graphene oxide membranes, ensuring their safety, efficiency, and viability for real-world HVAC applications. These improvements directly benefit Evercloak, enhancing their technology’s performance, efficiency, and compatibility […]

The proposed project will evaluate patient and provider satisfaction with a self-referral healthcare pathway for musculoskeletal injuries (injuries to the bones and joints) in a rural sport medicine clinic. In addition, patient wait times and outcomes will be compared between this self-referral pathway and the usual referral pathway.

it is planned to devise 3D printable PLA-PEG gels hosting st EOs (called emulgels). The primary objective of this research is to develop innovative methods to manufacture multifunctional 3D-printed hydrogels that can be applied to wound treatments. The challenges include stabilization of EO droplet in gel media along with engineering the rheological properties of emulgels […]

The proposed research investigates the effects of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as a means of flexural reinforcement for glulam beams. Engineered wood products (EWPs) such as glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) allow for wood to be used in a larger array of applications. Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) can be used as a method […]

This project focuses on assessing the commercialization viability of Rogers Communications’ investments in 5G technology, with a specific focus on connected robotics, smart healthcare, and climate management. The project aims to support ongoing innovation projects in partnership with the University of Waterloo by evaluating their commercialization potential through qualitative research. The project will benefit Rogers […]
