This project focuses on answering a key research question: How can the efficiency and adaptability of wind turbines be improved through the development of smaller, designs that reduce environmental impact, minimize noise, and are suitable for deployment in diverse locations, including rooftops (residential, industrial) or in remote areas?

Le projet vise à développer une méthode de caractérisation rapide pour déterminer les propriétés rhéologiques anticipées des bitumes à partir de leurs caractéristiques chimiques. Actuellement, les essais rhéologiques utilisés dans l’industrie nécessitent des délais importants avant d’obtenir les résultats, ce qui ralentit la production. En revanche, les essais de caractérisation chimique offrent des résultats plus […]

This research project seeks to develop the Ultrasonic-Electrical Concrete Assessment Method, an innovative approach for early detection of micro-cracks in concrete structures within nuclear power plants. These micro-cracks can compromise the structural integrity of concrete, increasing vulnerability to damage and potentially affecting safety and performance. By integrating advanced technologies—including ultrasonic waves, electrical measurements, thermal imaging, […]

This mixed-method study focuses on bringing new learning to the field of women in leadership, particularly their level of happiness and well-being. Using female senior leaders at a Canadian bank, a quantitative survey will be administered to 225 leaders. The survey utilizes a combination of an adapted Cantril’s Ladder (Gallup), the Eudaimonic Workplace Well-Being Scale, […]

This project is a joint collaboration between researchers at Carleton University and the College of Early Childhood Educators (the College). The College oversees the regulation and professional conduct of over 60,000 Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) in Ontario. A major challenge that the College faces is supporting the high quality and professional practice of RECEs, […]

The research project focuses on improving and optimizing planar transformers used in safety devices for hazardous areas. The intern will work with HB Safety Automation Group Inc., which develops explosion-proof safety barriers. The project aims to enhance transformer efficiency and safety by optimizing core materials like Manganese-Zinc and Nickel-Zinc ferrites. This will help solve issues […]

This research project aims to develop nutritious, sustainable puffed snacks using yellow pea starch and fiber—valuable by-products of pea protein production. As Canada strengthens its plant protein industry, finding innovative ways to utilize these underused ingredients is essential for economic and environmental sustainability. Using advanced extrusion processing, this study will examine how different raw material […]

Virginia Robertson is partnering with Shawnigan Lake School to teach Hul’qumi’num classes to secondary students. Recognizing that the student body is primarily settler and international students, the curriculum design will create space and time for students to learn Canadian colonial history, to engage with active Hul’q’umi’num’ language speakers, create their own theatrical vignettes based on […]

Wastewater treatment plants contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are produced during various treatment processes. During biological nutrient removal in wastewater treatment, processes such as activated sludge can generate N2O (a potent greenhouse gas) during total nitrogen removal. Further energy consumption in […]

La détection des engins de pêche perdus en mer est un défi environnemental majeur. Ce projet développe une application innovante pour détecter ces engins en analysant les données de sonars sidescan au format .xtf. Elle se divise en trois sections : détection des engins, étiquetage et entraînement, et carte des engins. La première section charge […]

This project is supported by a company dedicated to revolutionizing the personal care industry with innovative, eco-friendly skincare solutions. The objective of this industrial project is to create high-quality products that promote healthy skin and contribute to a cleaner, greener planet. Drawing from our experience in operating a zero-waste store, we understand the importance of […]

The space economy is developing quickly and Canada wants to play a role in the new sector of “in-orbit services”, where satellites are repaired and refueled while space debris is removed from space completely. All these activities require the servicing spacecraft to get a good look at the client spacecraft before docking. In this research, […]
