To harvest renewable energy from ocean waves, in this research we propose to study innovative triboelectric nanogenerators, a new type of energy harvesters especially good at converting small-scale mechanical motions into electricity. Although ocean wave energy is one of the most abundant and widely distributed renewable energy resources, it has not yet been extensively used […]

In today’s world, the video chat and conferencing has been a necessary part of overall routine life (both personal and work). Currently, the video chat and broadcast technologies require lots of bandwidth to transmit high quality data. In overall project, we aim to make video transmission data intelligent by using the state-of-the-art AI technology. This […]

This research aims to address one of the challenging problems in open science, i.e., how to reliably ensure that authors share all of the datasets, code, protocols, and any new lab materials associated with their articles. The solution will employ state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques to detect sentences where authors describe data collection or the […]

In recent years we’ve seen evidence of youth activism related to important social causes. Although much has been written about Millennials and Generation Z, little is known about the generation of young people who are currently at the precipice of adolescence – Generation Alpha (born 2010 and later). This generation will inherit the post-COVID society […]

Visual analytics “the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces” is a new approach to the timely and effective analysis of complex technical and operational systems. Our previous MITACS internships at Aeroinfo applied this scientific approach to mixed-initiative human/computational analysis to improve aircraft safety & reliability analysis and business planning, resulting in changes […]

Pour accompagner les préposés dans les appels 9-1-1, Thales vise à proposer un outil qui décrit dans un texte en langage naturel les éléments pertinents d’une scène d’urgence. L’interprétation des images dans le sens où on établit la relation et l’interaction des entités de ces images est une étape essentielle dans des tâches comme la […]

Le Festival de Lanaudière est une organisation d’envergure au Canada. Rassemblant des dizaines de milliers de spectateurs depuis 1978, ce festival a pour mission de rassembler les gens de partout autour de la musique classique. C’est dans cette perspective d’engagement dans la collectivité que s’inscrit mon projet de recherche qui suivra les débuts du développement […]

3D concrete printing and the digital design processes associated with this technology are developing quickly across the world, both in academia and in practice, moving from the realm of the artisan to the early stages of automated manufacturing. How do architects engage this emerging new field that combines fabrication technologies with material in their design […]

Studies performed over the last 10 years or so have revealed that the primary power of human stem cells lies in what they produce and release or excrete, not the cells themselves; this includes growth factors, paracrine factors, peptides, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and most importantly, exosomes. This is good news, as it means we can […]

Canada’s $9.6B pulp industry produces an ample supply of unusable organic pulp mill residues, yet there has been relatively limited utilization of this feedstock for the production of bio-crude through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) – a low-temperature, high-pressure thermolytic conversion process. The proposed research project will investigate HTL catalysts that produce abundant, high-quality, and low-cost bio-crude […]

Les documents d’ingénierie sont essentiels aux projets d’infrastructures. Plusieurs de ces documents sont toutefois dans des formats dits non-intelligents, c’est-à-dire qu’ils ne peuvent directement être interprétés par un ordinateur. Dans certains cas, ces documents sont même uniquement sur papier… Le projet vise à donner aux logiciels Bentley une capacité d’analyse de ces documents similaire à […]

The CXN360 service by Ag Exchange Group (https://cxn360.ca) is an online grain marketing service that allows grain buyers to make offers to purchase grain commodities and allows grain growers to make offers to sell grain commodities. CXN360 currently services the Canadian Prairies and Ag Exchange Group plans to extend the service into international markets and […]
