Weight reduction has been one of major driving forces of research and innovation in automotive industries. Changing from the conventional Laser overlap welding to edge welding could save 50% of total weight of joint flanges of workpiece. Also, edge welding can significantly improve the welded joint mechanical properties. However, edge welding is challenging since the […]

Detecting insects and estimating their densities in stored grain bins especially at their low densities is critical for insect control. Our group developed a microwave resonance sensor which can detect insects without grain. The application of the sensor in stored grain bins should be further studied. Therefore, the general goal of this proposed study is […]

Over 5% people across the world are hard of hearing, and require assistance in navigating public transportation/airports. This project attempts at automated sign language synthesis through a virtual avatar for improving day-to-day life of people with hearing impairment. The industry partner has developed a preliminary framework to conduct animation on virtual avatars to play back […]

Les ressources en eau souterraines globales font face à des pressions grandissantes sous l’effet combiné des changements climatiques, de l’évolution d’utilisation des sols et de la croissance démographique. Face à cette situation, la filtration sur berge émerge comme solution résiliente pour l’approvisionnement en eau. Cette technologie innovante consiste à implanter des puits de pompage de […]

In our research project, we aim to address environmental contamination caused by biphenyl and biphenyl ether, common pollutants from industrial activities. These chemicals, found in products like building materials and thermal energy transfer fluids, pose risks to both ecosystems and human health. Conventional cleanup methods often fall short, requiring a more sustainable approach. Our solution […]

We will investigate the skill of using several machine learning techniques to produce long-term (years to decades) forecasts for precipitation. The partner organization provides weather forecasts to a variety of industries and would benefit from more accurate long-term forecasts.

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have significantly impacted text-related tasks, including translation, code generation, and answering questions. However, due to their computational demands, these models are typically available only through closed doors-APIs, with opaque operations that obscure data usage. This creates privacy concerns for users who frequently engage with these models, as their […]

This research is intended to improve community safety and crime prevention in urban and rural Indigenous communities. Currently, community safety encounters numerous pressing Indigenous related challenges such as knowledge gaps concerning factors influencing safety and crime prevention within Indigenous communities, as well as efforts toward decolonizing community safety. This research initiative aims to develop culturally […]

In this research project, the intern will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for multiphase flow to investigate particle deposition in the interceptor-pit of a carwash. Interceptor-pits are designed to remove the suspended sediment in the water that flows through the unit. The study will reproduce the geometry of the interceptor-pit and use numerical simulations […]

This project isto develop a new website which will provide an infrastructure for non-profit admission. The admission professionals will be using this websites to conduct the interviews, in terms of providing them with the guiding question. The use of check boxes and other visual tools, such as radio buttons, text boxes, etc. will help provide […]

This project is meant to develop a Hybrid AI Platform for Streamlining Evaluation (HAIPSE) of applications assisting the partner organization, The NIB Trust Fund, in processing the two categories of funding applications. The NIB Trust Fund supports education programs of the First Nation and Métis individuals and organizations aimed at healing, reconciliation, and knowledge building. […]

Seize pourcents de la population mondiale vivent avec une ou plusieurs incapacités, limitant leur participation à des activités physiques récréatives. L’Association régionale de loisir pour personnes handicapées (ARLPH) de la Capitale-Nationale développe actuellement une plateforme numérique sécuritaire, éthique, et accessible destinée aux personnes vivant avec des incapacités (PAI). Elle comprend : 1) de la formation […]
