The proposed project consists of research and development for a thin film diagnostic platform. The purpose of this project is to better understand the impact of various manufacturing parameters on the resulting device structure and function. Our diagnostic technology operates through the thin film interference of light. Similar to the colours generated by a thin […]

The fields of plastic waste management and radioactive waste treatment are essential for sustainable society that utilizes plastic waste for energy production and radiation safety. Land filing and incineration of plastic waste has large environmental impacts due to GHG emissions. The mentioned challenges could be eliminated using a more reliable and controllable thermal source such […]

Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have problems with attention and executive functions (EF). Cognitive interventions have great potential to improve attention/EF and related skills (e.g., academic learning, social function, behaviour etc.), but few such interventions exist with even fewer that can be delivered at home. In light of COVID-19, parent-delivered interventions are crucial […]

In Finance, the use of Automated Trading Systems (ATS) on markets is growing every year and the trades generated by an algorithm now account for the majority of orders that arrive at stock exchanges. Historically, these systems were based on advanced statistical methods and signal processing able to extract trading signals from financial data. However, […]

A section of the Study is on the technical aspects of this type of housing which is for women who wish to leave their homes permanently because of domestic violence. The design of the […]

L’or est un métal critique dans l’exploration et l’exploitation minière au Canada. La mine d’or Goldex est en opération depuis 2008 dans la région de l’Abitibi. Mines Agnico Eagle limitée y exploite un gisement d’or relativement typique en milieu souterrain. Toutefois des nouvelles zones minéralisées (Zones Sud), aux caractéristiques distinctes de celles présentement en exploitation, […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. {100 – 150 words) The project aims to develop a molecular compounds database to accelerate drug discovery. Compounds shared by chemical providers […]

Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, of composites can manufacture final parts with high strength and stiffness. In this project, carbon fiber composites with a high temperature polymer are used for 3D printing. A custom 3D printing head installed on a robotic arm is used for manufacturing. Specimens are 3D printed to evaluate structural and […]

Dans le contexte actuel, de plus en plus de nouvelles technologies voient le jour toujours plus rapidement. Les entreprises doivent réagir face à la demande en constante variation, autant au niveau de la quantité qu’au niveau de la conception du produit demandé. L’agilité des petites et moyennes entreprises manufacturières du Québec est mise à rude […]

Borealis AI has access to a huge amount of financial data related to the stock market and is interested in leveraging recent developments in machine learning to better understand this data. Some potential questions emerging from this data are: (1) Given the closing price of a stock in the recent months, can we predict the […]

Hydroponics is a farming method that does not require soil, but rather utilizes a porous medium to hold plants so that waste of irrigation solution is minimized. This type of farming is considered more expensive than traditional open-field agriculture. However, it has been found to function well in enclosed spaces with a controlled environment, especially […]

The research conducted will result in a policy analysis, policy recommendations and knowledge translation materials on the National Occupancy Standards and their unintended barriers to housing for women experience violence. This research will be gathered through stakeholder engagement, an environmental scan, and qualitative data gathering (interviews or focus groups) to determine the key issues, the […]
