La recherche vise à réaliser des portraits socioéconomiques et sociodémographiques des résidents types des milieux denses (aires TOD) afin de connaître leurs besoins (ex : taille et coûts des logements, écoles, parcs, moyens de se déplacer, etc.). Ces portraits permettront à la Ville de connaître les besoins de ses futurs résidents et ainsi l’aider à […]

Our project proposed an invention of a fully self-contained, autonomous flying robot that can mimic the morphology of the bat wings. Inspired by its attractive flying characteristics, our flying robot could achieve more agile flying ability in hovering and turning than conventional micro aerial vehicles. Meanwhile, the shape-morphing and flapping wings help the robot fly […]

Our proposed research is to create an algorithm capable of pre-evaluating diabetes patients’ meals before they consume them with the snap of a picture. We are attempting to accomplish this goal by employing AI, machine learning as well as computer vision for real-time analysis. Our goal is to analyse a user’s meal to return an […]

The project is mainly in the domain of achieving real-time computational speed of methods to remove noise from video signals (for example, those taken by a professional cinema camera). Specifically, in this project, we propose first to improve the speed of current technology that we have developed in previous MITACS projects, in order to make […]

When a previously trained machine learning model is put into production, the production phase begins where said model makes predictions on the inputs provided to it. When the distribution of production data changes over time, we talk about data drift. Then the model is likely to become less efficient, or even obsolete. The project consists […]

The proposed project is an extension of a previous project “Multi-hazard Risk & Resilience Assessment for Real Asset Decision-Support” which aims to develop a methodology and software for performing rapid high-resolution multi-hazard risk assessment for asset portfolios by combining commercial/publicly available hazard models with high-resolution vulnerabilities derived from multi-physics simulations of different asset archetypes. The […]

Wood waste from Construction, Renovation and Demolition (CR&D) contributes about 7 % of the total waste sent to Canada’s municipal solid waste (MSW, or landfill) sites, according to a 2013 report from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). This preliminary project aims to consider viable alternatives to utilize waste wood to manufacture engineered wood products for the […]

Running is a very popular, low-cost form of physical activity that is utilized by Canadians as a means to improve both physical fitness and mental health. Throughout all seasons experienced by most Canadians, runners use some form of compression apparel as a means to regulate temperature, improve performance, and enhance comfort. Using an iterative and […]

The Chilako river is a 6th order river located approximately 15km west of Prince George, British Columbia. It serves as a main tributary to the Nechako River and is identified as a key spawning habitat for salmon in central British Columbia. However, disturbances such as agriculture, forest harvesting, forest fires and the Mountain Pine beetle […]

St. Anthony is the largest town on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula and is connected to Newfoundland’s island grid by a 248 km transmission line. This research will investigate the best locations for wind turbine installation.

Bridges Environmental Solutions Inc. and Deadwood Innovation Inc. have developed a novel and low-cost process for dewatering wood and waste wood materials and extracting a lignin-based solution useful in subsequent wood reforming and laminating processes, which we have helped develop. They use this lignin product to both chemically modify cellulose structures and permanently reform wood […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre comment l’intégration des objectifs de développement durable (ODD) peut se faire de manière plus efficace et à plus grande échelle, aussi bien dans les stratégies organisationnelles que dans les curriculums d’études. L’objectif principal consiste à s’inspirer des meilleures pratiques entourant l’intégration des ODD dans les milieux universitaires […]
