Aurora Heat, Inc. is a seasonal social enterprise that earns the bulk of its revenue during the Fall and Winter months. In order to curb seasonal influxes of cash flow, the organization has prototyped and informally tested a new to market sensory intervention product called the NEZU™. The NEZU™ is an Indigenous-designed sensory intervention made […]

ConocoPhillips Canada (CPC) is evaluating transformational technologies to reduce GHGs by up to 90% allowing for efficient Alberta resource development on a per barrel and supply cost basis in a carbon-constrained, globally competitive market. Warm applied solvent process refers to pre-heated solvents that are injected/co-injected with steam as an elimination/evolution of the current Steam Assisted […]

The research proposed here will explore core issues, risks, and limitations to direct the design and development of a ‘youth operating system’ (YOS) centred on providing a safe, secure, privacy-preserving, and inclusive multi-featured online environment for youth. Any project that engages youth requires substantive policies, terms and conditions, and platform functionality that ensure its Users […]

Due to global trends changing from conventional vehicles(Gasoline) to electric vehicles. In electric vehicles every manufacture company want to reduce the mass of vehicles and my research is on Design Optimization of Helical Coil Suspension using ANSYS in this improving design of suspension system using advanced optimization techniques like response surface method and by using […]

The cost of musculoskeletal disorders in Canada overpasses the $25 billion dollars every year, this amount can be significantly reduced by proving good quality ergonomic assessments and training. The main reason that not all companies invest on ergonomic assessments and/or training is due to the high costs that this entails. This project aims to reduce […]

Hyasynth Biologicals is a synthetic biology company based in Montreal. Hyasynth is focused on developing novel yeast-based production process for plant cannabinoids for the personal care market globally. The MITACS projects at Hyasynth will further the goal of developing and optimizing a yeast-fermentation based production process. The optimization of the enzymes and metabolic pathways in […]

Les turbines que l’on retrouve notamment dans les turboréacteurs sont soumises à de très grandes charges, dont de grandes vibrations. De plus, ces vibrations peuvent être amplifiées si de trop grandes imperfections sont présentes pour une turbine donnée. Il faut donc bien détecter ces imperfections pour déterminer si une turbine est sécuritaire avant de l’inclure […]

Part distortion and residual stress development are two major issues that hinder the industry’s application of the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process. This research will study the formation of residual stress and the distribution of stress fields during the LPBF process using finite element method (FEM) modeling. A sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical FEM model will […]

Windows account for about 30% of the total heat lost from buildings. Fenestration products like blinds and shades can increase the thermal resistance of windows, causing a reduction in the heat loss from windows. In this study, the performance of Smart Blind, an automated blind that adjusts its position to reduce the cooling/heating energy consumption […]

Clinical radiology and medical imaging research are beneficiated from the increased effectiveness of modern computer vision and image processing technologies. In order to automatically extract 3D centerlines from complex 3D images, our lab recently created a novel image processing technique. We will demonstrate its clinical utility using real-world medical imaging data. Therefore, the objectives of […]

This project will develop and implement laboratory protocols to evaluate the possibility of large-scale H2 storage in salt caverns in Canada. Proof of concept experiments will be conducted on core samples from the Lotsberg Salt Formation to identify and unlock challenges related to containment, contamination, and consumption of stored H2 in salt caverns. The laboratory […]

Proteins are sub-cellular molecules that provide important information of how well the body is functioning at a given time. Abnormal increase or decrease in the level of proteins can be indicative of the presence of a disease. Hence, developing tools to accurately measure protein levels in the human body is of utmost importance. Over the […]
