BrainBox AI is working on the mandate to provide better solutions for optimized control of HVAC systems modeled through data using AI. The Intern will continue our research at BrainBox AI and to continue to develop data driven approaches for an optimized operation of HVAC systems in design and implementation of scalable AI frameworks for […]

Metabolomics is an emerging field of research that provides insight into health and disease by studying the levels of various small molecules (metabolites) in the body. In this project, we are developing new tools that will improve and standardize methods for collecting and stabilizing fecal samples for metabolomics studies based on the analysis of fecal […]

We are proposing to help design the experimental setup to characterize chip-scale Optical Phased Arrays (OPAs). OPAs – a photonic device used for optical beam forming and beam steering – have been widely studied for LiDAR, optical sensing, free-space communication and more. Building on previously prototyped phase array antenna design at Honeywell, the team aims […]

This MIT ACS-Accelerate proposal is the first involving a multiple stage project to be developed as part of my PhD investigation. Through the completion of the full research project, the initiatives implemented by mining companies to address the socio-economic impact imposed on local communities when a mine ceases operation will be analyzed. Additionally, a socio-economic […]

Indoor farming offers the opportunity to grow produce close to the consumer and has recently been gaining attention due to its efficiency, controllability, and sustainability. In indoor farming, food is grown indoors in a controllable environment, with stable environmental conditions. This approach reduces the land footprint required, the demand for energy and water, the nutrient […]

This project is intended to support the deployment of an underwater communication network, that is multi-hop and multi-modal. It relies on the combination of acoustic propagation and magnetic-induction to send the information from a remote instrument through a set of relay nodes and to a destination. To enable end-to-end transmission over a secured link, secured […]

Le présent projet vise une plus grande intégration de la biodiversité et des services écologiques (BSE) dans les stratégies des entreprises et des organisations au Québec. Pour atteindre ce résultat, le projet se fixe notamment comme but d’élaborer une méthode simple d’autodiagnostic qui permettra aux entreprises de déterminer les risques corporatifs et occasions d’affaires liés […]

Cameras apply a lot of processing on the raw image recorded by the sensor to enhance the brightness, contrast, and colors, and make the output image visually pleasing. The image is also finally compressed to make the file size smaller. These operations make it difficult to reverse to the raw sensor image which is necessary […]

This research project will determine the associated greenhouse gas emissions associated with an environmentally friendly graphene-based coating to see how it compares with other marine coatings currently in industry. The developed methodology can be used in future life cycle assessments, as it will provide an innovative way of modelling graphene-based coating systems. GIT will benefit […]

L’objectif général de ce projet innovant est d’améliorer la productivité et la survie des espèces autochtones lors de la réhabilitation des sites miniers et la réduction des contaminants par une meilleure gestion et utilisation des symbioses racinaires. Les objectifs spécifiques sont: i) Isolement, culture, caractérisation et sélection in vitro de microorganismes fixateurs d’azote (Rhizobium et […]

Customer satisfaction with an automatic car wash is highly dependent on the quality of the final drying phase, with residual water leading to spots and thus poor perception of performance. As such, Suncor Energy is committed to improving the drying phase of their next generation car wash facilities through principled design guidelines based upon scientific […]
