On a global scale, there’s a big effort to set ambitious goals for cutting down on the amount of carbon emissions we release into the atmosphere. To achieve this, we need to upgrade and expand our electrical grid so it can handle the increased use of electricity in various sectors. The problem is that there […]

Le projet de recherche proposé consiste en le développement d’un nouveau produit de litière pour animaux valorisant les boues de désencrage (BD) résiduelles provenant des procédés de fabrication et de recyclage du papier. Ce projet s’inscrit clairement dans la volonté du collaborateur INTERSAND de diminuer son empreinte écologique liée à l’utilisation de bentonite non biodégradable […]

L’industrie minière canadienne est en plein essor, notamment en raison de la demande croissante de métaux critiques. Cependant, les retombées économiques que génère le développement minier ne compensent pas toujours les conséquences auxquelles font face les communautés avoisinantes, notamment les communautés autochtones situées en territoires non conventionnés (c.-à-d. n’ayant pas fait l’objet de traités modernes). […]

Le projet est une continuité des efforts de recherche en collaboration avec d’Hydro-Québec (H.-Q.) ayant pour finalité d’améliorer la durabilité des installations hydro-électriques via une connaissance plus juste et étendue du comportement en fatigue des métaux. Le contexte est plus particulièrement focalisé sur la tenue en fatigue des roues de turbine qui sont des assemblages […]

Hydro-Québec fait face à un contexte où la pérennité des actifs de production devient un enjeu majeur alors qu’elle s’apprête à réfectionner plusieurs de ses alternateurs et malgré le rythme, il est important d’être en mesure de maintenir les exigences et la qualité. Ce projet est important pour Hydro-Québec ainsi que pour l’approvisionnement énergétique du […]

Design and deploy a system that allows users to utilize specific generative AI models such as Large Language Models in order to fine-tune them on data specific to a particular domain to perform large-scale data analysis, prediction, and various outputs.

In this project, we plan to address the specific application and problem that TeTechS Inc is facing at this stage of its product development of photoconductive antennas, which is using its photoconductive antennas for characterizing performance of quantum cascade lasers (QCL) in time-domain measurement setup by demonstrating the capability of its proprietary terahertz sensor technology […]

Aqua-Cell Energy Inc., the partner organization, is developing low-cost long-duration saltwater flow batteries (LDSFB) that utilize safe chemicals and have a unique design. The technology being developed can enable large amounts of energy to be stored at a low cost. The research being performed by the intern, which would be supported in part by the […]

Finger-jointed lumber made from reclaimed and recycled lumber cut-offs/waste will be manufactured and used to produce mass timber panels (i.e., cross-laminated timber (CLT)). The mechanical properties of these panels will then be measured. The project therefore consists of two phases. The first one will focus on assessing the mechanical properties of the finger-jointed lumber made […]

Emissions from the buildings sector account for over half of Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions, of which about one quarter is attributed to the city’s ~32,000 small commercial buildings. To meet the City of Toronto’s Net Zero by 2040 target, these buildings must be retrofitted and electrified. Small business owners are uniquely positioned for decarbonization with […]

This research project is dedicated to advancing seismic analysis practices for geological structures. The primary objective is to develop a suite of reliable and user-friendly modeling tools to enhance our ability to predict and mitigate the effects of earthquakes, particularly focusing on soil liquefaction. This involves robust numerical implementation of an advanced sand constitutive model […]
