High-performance Ge-on-Si photodetectors are of lower cost and can be monolithically integrated with Si based integrated circuits for on-chip optical communications to increase computing speed. Process modeling is essential for structure and processing conditions design, but the current photonic design tools are too simplified for this task. This research is to implement process models in […]

The main objective of the proposed research is to find ways to increase the wear life of gland seals in slurry pumps. Gland seals are subjected to harsh mechanical environments: high pressures, high temperatures, and solid abrasives. If gland seals are not designed properly to withstand these conditions, premature gland failure will occur. There are […]

Toothpastes are basic products needed for daily maintenance of oral hygiene. However most of the available toothpastes are designed to manage tooth decay. Older individuals, however, suffer from gum diseases that caused by accumulation of plaque and tartar on teeth or implants. The most common way of cleaning the teeth is with a brush and […]

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche consistera à quantifier l’impact clinique (en termes d’année de vie gagnées, des mesures de sécurité, etc.) des différents traitements en première ligne du cancer du sein métastatique et d’étudier en particulier le bénéfique clinique des médicaments de précision, c’est-à-dire les médicaments accompagnés de diagnostic compagnon, sur le pronostic des […]

There are multiple academic and non-academic institutions in the province of Quebec that participate in clinical research trials. In the past, each had their own ethics committee. Since all had their own review group and demands, this was creating substantial delays in study start-up and contributed to the decrease number of trials being conducted in […]

The scope of this project is to construct a physics-based analytical model through the bond graph modeling for a reciprocating compressor. The purpose of this model is to quantify input-output relations among mechanical components involved in a compressor, particularly under normal operating conditions. Such a model, once validated and calibrated can serve as a baseline […]

En réponse au phénomène de l’antibiorésistance, nombreuses sont les pressions pour réduire, voire éliminer l’usage des antibiotiques en aviculture. Des alternatives aux antibiotiques ont été commercialisées et sont en développement. Selon nos expériences en laboratoire, des mélanges d’huiles essentielles offriraient une solution intéressante pour contrôler des pathogènes entériques aviaires. En effet, les comptes bactériens suite […]

Linear Induction Motors (LIMs) are used in a significant portion of existing rail transport systems, and Bombardier Transport Canada Inc. is a global leader in the industry. LIMs will be ever more important in the future with the expansion of Maglevs globally. In this project, the intern will explore the mathematical models used in designing […]

Irving Tissue is a leading manufacturer of household tissue products and provides the premium tissue products for its customers throughout North America. The objective of this project is to improve the process b y1) optimizing the wet- strength additive chemistry, and the associated curing process, 2) optimize the stock preparation, in particular, in light of […]

Rna Diagnostics, Inc. is developing a diagnostic test, named RDA (RNA Disruption Assay) which measures an individual patient’s tumor response to chemotherapy and accurately predicts whether the drug regimen will lead to elimination of the disease. In order to commercialize the intellectual property related to RDA, Rna Diagnostics, Inc. requires mathematical and statistical expertise to […]

Bank Street – Ottawa’s Main Street, is a digital history platform that allows the public to access stories, photos, and interviews about buildings and businesses and the people who lived and worked there. It uniquely brings together three fields: public history, labour history, and business history. In addition to enhancing her archival research skills, the […]

The ever-increasing demand for high-throughput links for datacenters applications forces module suppliers to develop optical transceivers that operate at higher bit rates. TeraXion is currently developing such transceivers in a silicon photonic chip for 100G/400G datacom applications. Among other components, the silicon photonic chip will comprise several modulators, necessary to encode the information into the […]
