The objective of the project is to conceive and build a prototype of a tunable “white fiber laser” i.e. a broadband light source. As it is based on supercontinuum generation in a microstructured fiber, the source is expected to be compact and find applications in several domains, from fundamental studies to biomedical imaging and spectroscopy […]

Batteries are main storage systems in many applications such as electric vehicles, shipping, transportation, and utility backup power. With the recent breakthrough in the supercapacitor technology, it is predicted that supercapacitors will challenge the batteries in many of these applications since their power delivery is much faster than the batteries. The current chargers are designed […]

In manufacturing industry many tools are protected by coatings to increase tool life and productivity. It is only logical that mechanical properties of the coating will affect its performance. Therefore, it is essential to characterise the coating and understand its properties to tailor it for a specific application. These properties might be assessed with different […]

Cannabis has been known to treat ailments for thousands of years, including conditions such as pain, cancer, arthritis, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite an increase in research dedicated to molecular and behavioural effects of cannabinoids, there has been no direct evidence to elucidate the effect of cannabis on pain-related areas […]

The intern will work with a multi-disciplinary research team from architecture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, business development and materials research in the design development phase of a project to create a structural insulated panel prototype from cellulose. As the most abundant organic polymer on the planet, cellulose is currently emerging as a sustainable material […]

Hybrid airships with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability have the potential to drastically simply the commercial transportation system by picking up payload from the pick-up points and delivering it directly to the pre-set destinations. Development of new electric hybrid airship designs for the Canadian and global transport industry will lead to lower shipping costs, […]

This study will explore how the centralization of social services and those who use them impact the environment of Downtown Windsor. The goal of the project is to understand how the location of social services effects the movement of people who are using these services. Stakeholders, businesses, and residents will be surveyed in order to […]

Appliquer Ie nouvel ensemble taxonomique sur l’ensemble des corpus pour finalement obtenir un ensemble unique de documents et d’etiquettes. Le prototype mis au point sera utilise par Ie partenaire dans Ie cadre de son […]

In today’s competitive market, customer service has become essential to any company willing to expand and increase its business. Companies cannot afford to fall short of consumer expectations. With the recent progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the impressive results in different industrial areas, companies are adopting AI techniques for customer service. Most of the […]

In recent years, the emergence of massive temporal data has become a reality in almost all aspects of social life, economic activity, security and defense, and poses a big challenge for existing methods. This project focuses on prediction from temporal data that arise ubiquitously in healthcare, social, industrial and financial fields. Events typically include changes […]

La compagnie P&W Canada souhaite améliorer ses processus d’inspection et de détection. Plus spécifiquement, elle a ciblé deux requis critiques pour le fonctionnement et le rendement d’une turbine. Le premier est l’état des roulements du rotor (avant et après assemblage ainsi qu’après le test final avant livraison au client). Le deuxième critère est la présence […]

Lorsque les activités d’intervention se terminent suite à un sinistre, la période de rétablissement pose des défis importants pour les individus et les organisations. Le « retour à la normale » soulève des questions de reconstruction, de soutien prolongé aux sinistrés, de compensations, d’assurances, etc. Il engendre aussi des activités d’apprentissage dans et entre les […]
