The aim is to have an insight on bubble behaviour in a system that holds a chemical reaction and then to see the direct effect of changing hydrodynamic parameters on the reactor performance. The partner organization will have a protocol to optimize its process by tuning the operating conditions. In addition, the partner organization will […]

Electricity is a commodity traded in dedicated markets. Electricity producers, distributors, brokers, speculators and industrial consumers participate in these markets to match supply with demand, hedge their exposure to electricity prices and/or profit from dislocations in the price between geographies or time horizons. Accurate price forecasts enable market participants to make better business decisions. BCM […]

Modern machine learning is powered by deep neural networks composed of many interconnected layers of artificial neurons, whose tunable connections learn from data to solve important problems. While this approach has achieved incredible successes in many domains, in practice neural networks act as “black boxes” whose high-level insights are hard to access. Our project will […]

This project considers displacement fluid flows that occur in the primary cementing process in the completion of oil & gas wells. In this process, cement slurry is pumped into the oil well to remove drilling mud, provide zonal isolation and hydraulically seal the well. The results of our research will help design an efficient primary […]

The project involves the development of an algorithm to generate organic molecules that satisfy desired properties and characteristics defined by a medicinal chemist.

L’industrie de l’aluminium est une importante émettrice de gaz à effet de serre, majoritairement dû à l’oxydation des anodes de carbone dans les cuves d’électrolyse qui produit du gaz carbonique (CO2). On cherche donc à développer des anodes alternatives non-réactives, dites anodes inertes. Il est toutefois difficile de trouver des matériaux à la fois conducteurs […]

A typical individual will encounter countless instances in their life where various stressors, such as the consumption of alcohol, ingestion of pain relieving medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or experiencing stress itself, may damage ones intestines in a way they never knew was possible. All of these stressors have been associated with increased […]

An increasing number of wearable devices collect and use physiological information to track physical and mental health on a daily basis. While large-scale research initiatives allow an unprecedented amount of data to be collected, biosignal analysis techniques have yet to catch up. Indeed, analysis tools designed by hand based on small datasets available in traditional […]

Simulating the Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system performance in a virtual environment is an integral part of a vehicle development process. Transient system behaviour is captured by modeling refrigerant flow, coolant flow and its interaction with air flow with the use of a one-dimensional tool. In this project, a methodology to integrate the thermal […]

Use of thermoplastics for engineering applications has become critical over the past decade with the automotive industry looking for creative ways to reduce vehicle weight. As such, linear vibration welding is gaining acceptance as a specialized method for joining thermoplastic parts. This research will focus on amorphous resins used in automotive light-weighting applications. Amorphous plastics […]

The proposed research project focuses on designing a control system, which integrates algorithms of active vehicle safety technologies, such as traction control and electronic stability control systems, and implementing it to a commercial software for full vehicle simulations. The controller model will be designed on a specialized control system software, called Simulink, to be implemented […]

Over 60% of overweight or obese individuals attempt weight loss diets each year. Although many different dietary approaches can lead to weight loss, increasing evidence suggests that a very low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet may have superior metabolic and weight loss effects. However, any diet is only as effective as adherence to it and adherence requires effective […]
