Cori Disease and SRD5A3-linked Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG) are two rare and fatal metabolic disorders for which there are no cures or therapies. Both conditions result in early-onset developmental delays, greatly hinder quality of life, and result in a rapid degeneration of motor functions. Due to their rarity, research into these conditions is lagging […]

Les contraintes concurrentielles et environnementales poussent les producteurs d’energie, a utiliser leurs equipements a la limite de leurs specific~tions, augmentant ainsi les risques de defaillance. II est donc necessaire pour ces producteurs de developper des methodes analy1iques pour evaluer I’impact de nouveaux scenarios d’utilisation sur la fiabilite de leurs equipements. La fatigue est la cause […]

Exonetik’s patented actuator systems offer a unique combination of force-density, high bandwidth, superior back-drivability, low cost and aerospace-level reliability. Since 2016, Exonetik has been working with major companies in the automotive industry such as […]

Le sujet de la recherche concerne l’évaluation de l’ergonomie de l’interface graphique et la mesure de la charge cognitive ainsi que l’évaluation des cas d’utilisation du casque intelligent pour pompier en situation d’intervention en vue de proposer des ajustements ou améliorations ou encore de nouveaux cas d’utilisation

Chitin is an abundant resource in the form of shell waste from food industry in Canada and the world. BOCO Bio-Nanotechnologies has currently the infrastructure in place for scalable extraction of chitin nanowhiskers (CNWs) from crab shells. CNWs are the crystalline form of chitin molecules, possessing high strength, stiffness and aspect ratio, making them an […]

With limited funding available, managers must prioritize which invasive species and which areas need to be managed. This project will involve finding out which sites and species need to be prioritized for management within the Greater Toronto Area. Through formal discussions with different stakeholders in the area and by using existing data (e.g. species distribution […]

La connectivité écologique est un des attributs les plus importants pour le maintien de la qualité de l’habitat et de la bioiversité présents sur le territoire. La mission de la compagnie Eco2Urb est d’assister les grands propriétaires d’écosystèmes et d’infrastructures naturelles pour augmenter la résilience de leur réseau écologique au bénéfice de la biodiversité ainsi […]

Thermochemical conversion of waste tires to useful energy resources is attractive to obtain pyrolysis oils with potential economic value. However, the high sulfur and nitrogen contents prevents its direct application as a drop-in fuel in refineries. Though, catalytic hydrotreatment can reduce these heteroatoms, the prohibitive costs of high pressure equipments and harsh reaction conditions necessitates […]

Power Factors offre une plateforme de suivi de performance de parcs éoliens et solaire. Cette plateforme collecte les données opérationnelles des parcs, les archive, puis les traite (calcul d’indicateurs de performance) pour ensuite les transmettre aux exploitants et propriétaires de ces parcs. Power Factors utilise déjà quelques modèles de détection d’anomalies à travers sa plateforme […]

The project entails the creation of a web based application that will monitor sensors on substations. The application will graph data from the sensors with warning thresholds. It will notify specific users via text and email when thresholds have been met. The app will also store sensor data and look for trends using machine learning. […]

This project aims two answer two research questions. First, we respond to nearly 15 years of call for research to understand how word of mouth communication is used in B2B settings. Specifically, we conduct a qualitative research to identify what drives B2B customers to get engaged in online word of mouth communication. Second, we examine […]

The proposed research will investigate the inter-annual variability of evaporation rates of four different urban land use locations within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) – rooftop (impervious), industrial (partially impervious), residential (partially pervious), and grass field (pervious). There will be regularly scheduled meetings with TRCA representatives to enhance my technical proficiency, data analysis capabilities and […]
