In this project, we will devleop various demodulation and encoding techniques to enhance the performance of receiving data in the EM telemetry process. In EM Telemetry process, a ‘measuring information and data while drilling’ application, transmit and communicate wirelessly from downhole to the surface. Due to the challenge of the earth behavior, low frequency communication […]

D-Wave Systems develops and manufactures quantum annealing processors. These processors implement a model of quantum computation that seeks to solve hard problems by exploiting quantum effects such as tunneling and superposition. The aim of this project is to study and improve the performance of quantum annealing processors by mitigating inherent and implementation-dependent failure mechanisms for […]

Le projet consiste à développer un nouveau type de traitement pour une maladie liée à la croissance osseuse du bassin, nommé la dysplasie de la hanche. Présentement, cette maladie est souvent traitée en effectuant une chirurgie où le bassin est scié, réorienté et fixé en place. Alternativement, le traitement proposé serait d’installer une prothèse sur […]

This is a project to update the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec’s permanent exhibit, Doing Time: The Quebec City Common Gaol (1808 – 1867). Since the exhibit was launched in 2011, much research has been done on the history of the gaol. Doing Time is seen by some 25,000 visitors per year. For some, […]

Municipalities are facing significant challenges related to water treatment, including aging infrastructure, increasingly more stringent water quality limits (for drinking water) and discharge requirements (for wastewater), climate change and extreme weather events, constrained plant space, municipal budget stress, etc. Summer interns in this Mitacs project will be conducting research on novel bioreactors for UV disinfection […]

Tissue engineering (TE) is the science focused on the creation of tissues that resemble the human physiology. The end goal of TE is to create tissues model diseases modeling, test therapeutics, and for regenerative medicine purposes. To create such tissues, a combination of cells, biomaterials, and growth factors are needed in order to create a […]

Aircraft painting processes are very complex and involves several working stages. Besides, several highly skilled workers are required to work in a polluted environment for long periods of time. The automation of these processes would result in several benefits for both workers and companies. This project proposes the automation of aircraft painting processes using autonomous […]

The goal of the project is to determine if the cannabis-derived, non-psychoactive compound, cannabigerol (CBG) (a key component of Cannabis), which is known to reduce inflammation in a mouse model of colon inflammation, can also prevent intestinal strictures (fibrosis) and narrowing of the intestine in the setting of intestinal inflammation. We will use cell culture […]

Les technologies de simulation numérique permettent de prédire le comportement de matériaux et de pièces dans des cadres de plus en plus vastes et ces simulations permettent sont maintenant utilisées dans de nombreux secteurs industriels afin d’éviter ou de minimiser le recours au prototypage et à des tests sur bancs d’essais physiques. C’est particulièrement le […]

Cities need an evidence-based understanding of cycling barriers and facilitators to support policy and programming aimed at promoting cycling. In London, this evidence is currently limited. The London Cycling Survey aims to address this gap. The purpose of this Survey is to examine the barriers and facilitators to cycling in the context of London and […]

Atwood Technology Inc. is in the early stages of developing an exciting new online dating and relationship service under the proposed brand of “eMatchology”. This service will have three major information technology features that will be key in differentiating it from other players in the market. These features are: i) DateGuard ii) AcuMatch and iii) […]

EcoPliance is a Cleantech startup company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that aims to produce reusable and technology-enhanced food and beverage containers that reward consumers for using environmentally friendly products. Each container is collapsible for easy carrying and has a near field communication (NFC) tag with a unique identifier. This will allow users to scan […]
