En 2017, le Québec a émis plus de 78 Mt éq. CO2 et le secteur industriel était responsable d’environ 30 % de ces émissions. Dans le cadre de la lutte aux changements climatiques, le présent projet propose une approche de séquestration de CO2 qui soit complètement innovante, respectueuse de l’environnement, moins coûteuse, efficace et capable […]

S2E Company is developing a Smart Community in London, Ontario. This community will have the state of the art sustainable practices in community development. This community will be Net ZERO energy which simply means that it has zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions annually, minimize water usage, designed with sustainable storm water management, […]

Video surveillance on mobile platforms such as school buses and public transit systems is increasingly important to ensure the safety of the public and the drivers. These systems are typically equipped with various sensors, e.g., GPS and accelerometer. In this project, the intern will develop a pattern recognition algorithm for our partner organization to fuse […]

Bioponics is an innovative form of container gardening that uses patented processes to create ideal growing conditions for edible crops. The company, Bioponix Agricultural Corp., has developed a specialized Bioponix growing container, along with a liquid organic fertilizer and soil conditioner with a bioactive nutritive consortium. This partnership project will document the growth of strawberry, […]

The growth of underground seasonal thermal energy storage systems has been relatively slow due to limited understanding with regard to optimal system design for different locations and building/community archetypes. Thermal interactions between underground storages and the surrounding strata as well as the effects of seasonal changes are not entirely understood making the development of optimized […]

Inappropriate food autonomy poses serious threats to the sustainable development of Canada and the global society in general. This issue is further exacerbated by the four-season climate of Quebec that prevents year-round open-air farming. To cope with this challenge, Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) uses managed artificial environmental conditions to produce vegetables and fruit in a […]

This project seeks to answer the overarching research question, how can the use of simulation-based learning (SBL) within a community-based setting improve access to training and the development of clinical practice competencies in practitioners (e.g. social work/psychology students/professionals). The project will expand access to experiential learning within a community-based setting using multiple modalities within the […]

Les mesures d’impact social ont gagné en popularité au cours des dernières années notamment auprès des organismes à but non lucratif qui cherchent de plus en plus à cerner les effets de leurs efforts. Il existe cependant peu de modèles et d’outils existants qui visent à mieux comprendre l’impact d’initiatives qui concernent les changements de […]

Le projet hydrogéologie et conservation des milieux humides est un projet de thèse visant à mieux comprendre les échanges entre les eaux souterraines et les milieux humides dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent. Souvent négligés, ces échanges, indispensables pour la pérennité des milieux humide, sont au coeur des préoccupations des spécialistes du territoire (organismes de conservation, […]

This project will be used to assist the mining industry in predicting the best possible practices for designing and operating mines. By developing an understand of how comminution tests represent the machinery we can predict what is required to breakdown the raw rocks from the ground into valuable products we can make mining both more […]

Fog, by definition, occurs when visibility is lower than 1 km. The initiation, development and decay of fog can involve many physical processes and reliable modelling and accurate prediction of occurrence, vertical distribution and visibility limitations are an ongoing challenge. Wood Environmental & Infrastructure (Wood), provide offshore fog forecasts for oil platforms over the Grand […]

The agricultural industry is adopting new technologies in many practices, including automation of routine practices such as milking in dairy or harvesting fruits. These innovations require the development of sophisticated machines and image processing algorithms associated with. This proposed project aims to develop the technology that allows design of a machine and associated algorithms to […]
