A refrigerant leak is one of the major contributors of commercial refrigeration unexpected breakdowns. Conventional methods of leak detection using physical sensors are expensive, have limited capability of square footage coverage, and incapable of detecting slow and progressive refrigerant leaks. Accordingly, the development of a smart leak detection system without the need to include additional […]

The present research will focus on re-developing and evaluating an inclusive, and accessible gender-neutral program entitled “BodySense”, in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), aimed at increasing awareness of body image concerns in sport and aiding athletes and key influencers (i.e., parents, coaches, sport organizations) in cultivating a more inclusive, equitable […]

The proposed research project is targeted to develop an accurate mathematical description for control and optimization of the Autonomous Mobile Energy system (AMES) and its integration with potential applications in mining, water desalination and other areas. The system incorporates solar thermal system thermal energy storage and an auxiliary energy source and will provide uninterrupted clean […]

Light can have a significant effect on our wellbeing. In general, it is healthy to follow the natural outdoor cycle and receive a lot of light during the day and no light at night. However, in the modern world of high-rise buildings and electric lights, we can often end up desynchronized from the outdoor world. […]

The data describing different aspects of a building comes from various disciplines and is most often residing in disparate systems. Yet, an effective management of the building performance requires access to a unified view of the whole lifecycle data. Using existing technologies disparate sources of the building data can be integrated and stored in the […]

The requirement for dissolution testing (both routine sample and method development) is increasing for all of the current and future programs at Accucaps and is a regulatory requirement for most oral pharmaceutical products. The need for access to capacity and development capabilities for dissolution must reach beyond Accucaps. For these reasons, a collaboration with Dr […]

L’objectif principal du stage est d’augmenter la pertinence des recommandations aux utilisateurs en ajoutant la fonctionnalité de pouvoir filtrer selon les informations géographiques d’un document. Pour ce faire, des modèles prédisant le lieu géographique ainsi que l’aire d’intérêt seront étudiés et les meilleurs seront développés. Des modèles de traitement de la langue naturelle, notamment de […]

L’objectif de ce projet est d’identifier les facteurs de développement socio-économiques ou technologiques à mobiliser pour favoriser l’émergence d’une nouvelle filière de valorisation du saule. À ce jour, le projet a permis d’étudier la double fonctionnalité du saule comme un outil phytotechnologique et comme source de biomasse. Les premiers résultats issus des analyses de cycle […]

The research project aims at using artificial intelligence (AI) during the product design process. At the moment, computer-aided design (CAD) software are the primary central tools used by engineers to ease the product design process that can be quite difficult and long. However, the use of AI could further decrease the burden by automating parts […]

Quantum computers offer superior advantages compared to classical computers. Technological and theoretical developments have spurred lots of research to enable fully functioning prototypes for quantum computers. One of the main challenges in this direction is building a fault-tolerant quantum computer. In this project, we aim to analyze and design a new method for providing better […]

Imaging brain activity patterns across different brain regions is important for understanding both how the brain works, and how it malfunctions in disease. Recently, development of new optical imaging techniques have allowed imaging such patterns during behaviours and in models of disease. However, one problem with these imaging techniques is that blood adsorbs light, which […]
