The main objective of the project is to explore the technological trends and automation in Courier, Express and Parcel (CEP) industry with key focus on autonomous technologies that can leverage CEP operations. Then the technology readiness as well as the user readiness for autonomous technologies will be investigated followed by an evaluation of the community […]

Le présent projet cherche à catalyser les efforts communs afin de mieux définir les contours de l’innovation en adaptation aux changements climatiques pour le secteur du tourisme largement affaibli par la crise sanitaire et répondre au besoin de relancer différemment les activités économiques touristiques. Il vise à comprendre comment, face aux impacts des changements climatiques, […]

The primary objective of this project is to provide Canadian petroleum companies with a set of reliable data derived from experiments conducted on reservoir-on-the-chip platforms that facilitate the visualization of pore-scale interactions between solvent and heavy oil during the CO2-based CSI process in the presence of complex wormhole systems in post-CHOPS reservoirs. The reservoir-on-the-chip is […]

In our contemporary world, digital systems are playing critical roles in every aspect of life. To maintain our digitalized environments safe, secure, efficient, and cost-effective, cyber risk assessment frameworks have been developed to assess the trustworthiness and effectiveness degree of an IT-based environment. However, these frameworks demand in-depth insights, expertise, and efforts to complete them […]

According to the existing airworthiness standards, aircraft turbofan engine certification must demonstrate its ability to contain a fan blade should the blade accidentally separate under critical operating conditions. P&WC has established a full engine computational analysis process. In the continuing evolution of this modelling process, several areas requiring improvement have been identified as critical. One […]

High performance bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using a hand-layup process. Due to the manual nature of this manufacture method, defects such as voids, fiber misalignment, or resin rich/resin poor regions can occur. Micro-computed tomography is an X-ray based measurement method that is […]

Prostate cancer is the second most cancer related death in men, accounting or over 111 M$ yearly in Canada. Current prostate biopsy or therapy procedures such as transperineal brachytherapy use transrectal ultrasound guidance and a template to guide needles along parallel trajectories. However, pubic arch interference (PAI) with the implant path obstructs part of the […]

Engineering consulting is a unique occupation that requires professionals to possess both strong technical and non-technical abilities. Engineering consulting organizations have identified the the gap between top performers and their peers to pertain to be social, relational and leadership skills. Our work seeks to identify the leadership skillset that differentiates top performers in engineering consulting […]

Repurposing existing natural gas pipelines is “a low-cost option for delivering large volumes of hydrogen”, accelerating the realization of full-scale hydrogen economy for energy transition. Hydrogen-steel interactions would induce the so-called hydrogen embrittlement, causing cracking and pipeline failure. The corrosion defect present on the existing pipelines tends to facilitate occurrence of the hydrogen-induced cracking. The […]

This research project will involve exploration, analysis and consultation for developing of a framework integrating information about social determinants of health and quality of life measures into an Indigenous Digital Health Ecosystem. The framework will include guidance for collecting, analyzing, and using social and health data to inform policy, investment, clinical, and service actions in […]

La crise de la COVID-19 a stimulé le besoin de transformation numérique des organisations afin d’adapter leurs modèles et pratiques d’af-faires pour survivre à la pandémie. Compte tenu de la nature de la consommation directe de la plupart des offres culturelles, le secteur cultu-rel semble souffrir de la pandémie de COVID-19 plus que les autres […]

The space industry is growing ever larger, with many commercial solutions being actively developed. Hybrid rocket engines fulfill a need in smaller launchers, to launch small satellites. These satellites currently have to wait in queue, often for several years, in order to obtain a place on the big launchers currently available. Solutions developed locally by […]
