This research seeks to improve gas turbine engine components, focusing on dynamic seals that withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, pressures, and abrasive particles, to enhance aircraft performance and durability. Current carbon-based materials used in seals like segmented seals—designed to prevent oil leakage—are vulnerable to degradation, which can lead to engine damage and costly […]

Crises risks are notoriously hard to quantify. Yet, when systemic crises materialize, for instance the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), the cost for the economy and the society can be huge, with protracted recessions and financial hardships for firms and households. Thus, it is essential for public authorities to monitor and proactively address systemic risks, thereby […]

Commercial hazelnuts are a woody perennial crop that requires significant upfront investment. They are typically grown in a monocropped orchard, with bare soil or a closely-cropped grassy orchard floor. Hazelnuts are usually harvested from the ground, meaning that the presence of intercrops is a hindrance for harvest. This results in lower in-field diversity, wasted production […]

This project contributes to best practices from other Nation-Crown decision-making processes to help us build an informed process to reach […]

Ce projet de recherche consiste en l’étude de l’utilisation de poudrette de caoutchouc recyclés traités pour amélioration du comportant des enrobés bitumineux. L’utilisation de la poudrette de caoutchouc devrait permettre une amélioration du comportement à chaud et à froid des enrobés tout en diminuant la quantité de bitume d’apport, ce qui est très intéressant sur […]

The principal objective of the MITACS internship project is to develop immersive audio environments to be utilized, evaluated, and studied by the community involved in the “Sensing Differently” SSHRC project, including participants and co-researchers. It will involve designing custom tools for incorporating immersive audio recordings into ethnographic research contexts. These tools will enable “Sensing Differently” […]

This research project aims to understand and improve leadership in Canadian healthcare organizations. Over the next five years, many healthcare leaders are expected to retire, creating a need for new leaders who are well-prepared to handle the challenges of a rapidly changing healthcare system.
