3DPartFinder est un moteur de recherche commerciale révolutionnaire qui permet de trouver une pièce mécanique 3D parmi une banque de pièces existantes (déjà conçues et/ou fabriquées), un peu comme Google le fait pour chercher des mots. La grande différence est que l’on demande à 3DPartfinder de trouver une pièce similaire à celle dessinée avec un […]

Rivers, canals, and lakes spread all over the land, making the interaction with the water environment a common daily experience for people. High-quality waters make the city beautiful. Nevertheless, there still remain significant challenges in maintaining the waters. In order to enhance the reliability and efficiency of water maintenance, we will develop the swarm intelligence […]

Data-driven optimization of building operations can significantly increase energy efficiency in the building sector with a relatively minimal cost. However, one of the main obstacles that prevent wide-spread implementation of advanced control strategies is the lack of standardization in data organization and advanced control algorithms between different buildings. To this end, this MITACS partnership with […]

Combination therapy has been one of the cornerstones for combating cancers. Even though the survival rate of cancer patients after receiving combination therapy is improved dramatically, there are still many unsolved issues to prevent us from claiming combination therapy is a cure for cancers. Those issues include it does not apply to all types of […]

Le projet consiste à mener une recherche participative, de concert avec la Clinique Droit de cité, permettant d’analyser les parcours judiciaires des personnes marginalisées à Québec et de cibler les enjeux et défis dans l’accompagnement. La Clinique Droit de cité vient en aide aux personnes marginalisées à Québec qui souhaitent régulariser leur situation judiciaire afin […]

Presently the electrical grids of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are operated with limited energy exchange between them. Connecting the three provinces together with a “Western Canada Grid (WCG)” could yield significant advantages. Connection with HVDC transmission is attractive due to its control flexibility and stability. This project will investigate optimum converter types and control methods […]

This internship is a continuation of a previous Mitacs Accelerate Internship during which time Mathtoons worked with Dr. Wang of UBC Okanagan and intern, Yipin Guo of the Math and Computer Science faculties. The previous research enabled Mathtoons development team to incorporate many features within its Content Editor software which will allow teachers of upper […]

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 […]
