New Generation Membrane Electrode Assembly using Novel Nanoporous Carbon Scaffold

Hydrogen fuel cells (HFCs) are clean and efficient energy conversion devices that produce electricity from green hydrogen with zero carbon emissions. Currently, the catalyst layers in HFCs are composed of Pt-decorated carbon powders mixed with an ion conducting polymer (ionomer), leading to uncontrolled distribution of each phase and significant tortuosity due to the complex pores […]

Co-operators : Création de plongements et représentations pour l’assurance commerciale

En assurance commerciale, il est important de pouvoir comprendre l’industrie dans laquelle opère une entreprise afin de bien identifier les risques auxquels l’entreprise est exposée. À cette fin, l’approche traditionnelle consiste à assigner à chaque entreprise un code d’industrie. Cependant, cette assignation est problématique car la plupart des classifications d’industrie comptent des centaines et souvent […]

Marine Icing Models and Sensors for Arctic Exploration Vessels

Marine icing problems pose significant risk to both marine vessel stability and human safety during harsh weather operations. The project will address a need for better physical understanding of marine icing phenomena and the development of appropriate sensors for detecting marine icing conditions. Current technologies have proven inadequate for marine conditions due to the complex […]

UAV-based persistent surveillance system

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become ubiquitous. However, many challenges still need to be addressed to capitalize on their unique capabilities to support the creation of new Internet-of-Things services. The main difficulty is managing a swarm of UAVs in challenging environments. This project focuses on developing and evaluating a new UAV-based persistent surveillance system (UPSS) […]

Machine learning classification of Canadian mammal bones

Natural history collections and the specimens stored within are vital to our understanding of biodiversity, ecology, and evolution. To both preserve and increase their accessibility, efforts are being made to digitize the world’s natural history collections. In herbariums (natural history collections for plants), machine learning is being used to assist the digitization process by classifying […]

Advancing equity in transportation planning

City staff are guided by policies when making decisions about their community. Some cities have taken the initiative to adopt a policy that embeds equity considerations into decision making. However, many other cities are still earlier in their path to creating more equitable communities and need support. Researchers and planning practitioners have heard from city […]

Biosensor gene circuit for 3D bioprinted devices

Cell-based therapies have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of chronic diseases such as endocrine and autoimmune disorders, neurological degeneration, and cancer. These treatments utilize cells as localized biofactories to secrete therapeutic molecules. However, one major roadblock in efficiently utilizing cell-based therapies is the cells survival and wellbeing in bioprinted devices. This is due to […]
