Bauxite residue, known as “red mud,” is a major solid waste during alumina extraction from bauxite (alumina is further processed to produce aluminum). Red mud has attracted water treatment engineers due to its high adsorptive capability, and it has shown promise in remediating a wide range of industrial effluents. In this Mitacs Accelerate project, the […]

Synthetic population generation is the process of combining multiple socioeonomic and demographic datasets from various sources and at different granularity, and downscaling them to an individual level. Although it is a fundamental step for many data science tasks, an efficient and standard framework is absent. In this project, we propose a multi-stage framework called SynC […]

Au Canada et ailleurs, les projets d’infrastructures tirent leur légitimité du fait qu’ils répondent à des besoins réels, c’est-à-dire qu’ils profitent concrètement aux citoyens. Depuis le lancement (en 2016) du plan à long terme Investir dans le Canada, 119 milliards de dollars ont en ce sens été investis dans 77000 projets allant “du transport en […]

One way to improve the efficiency of a building is to use thermal storage material. A recent thermal storage strategy is to use phase change material (PCM) which allows for the storage and release of thermal energy. One of the main advantages of using PCM over traditional thermal storage (like concrete) is that PCM can […]

This project aims to solve the problem of visual inspection of the aircrafts. The images and/or video will be used in conjunction with an AI/ algorithm to efficiently identify aircraft defects. The drone-based computer vision approach to defect detection will be compared to traditional, manual techniques to assess the potential for increased safety and efficiency […]
