Investigation of Raman Spectroscopy for Commercial Clinical Chemistry Applications

The project aims to address the issue of the lack of access to basic blood tests in a majority of the world’s population. We will explore the potential of Raman spectroscopy to provide a reagent-less alternative to traditional clinical chemistry methods. By proving that Raman spectroscopy, in conjunction with advanced machine learning, is able to […]

Mathematical Modelling and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy for Degradation Monitoring of Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers

Water electrolysis plays a vital role in clean energy generation by producing hydrogen from water. Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers represent a novel technology used for this purpose. The performance of such electrolyzers is highly affected by various degradation processes occurring in such systems. In this project, we are aiming to understand the sources of […]

Advancing the reliability of social media discourse as a measure of public sentiment about COVID-19

The proposed research is to develop a method for making valid, representative estimates of public opinion from sufficiently large and diverse non-probability samples such as social media data. We aim to demonstrate the theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions to the field of public opinion research by demonstrating the reliability and utility of this method in […]

Assessing Climate Change Impacts on the Population and Habitats of Piping Plovers in Prince Edward Island

The proposed research focuses on examining the influence of regional climate variability and extreme weather events on the population and habitats of Piping Plovers in Prince Edward Island (PEI). Correlation matrices between records of population parameters and regional climate conditions will be generated and correlated variables will be tested for significance using t-tests. A passive […]

The Canadian Annual Report Extractor Project (CARE)

Annual reports are an important means of communication for publicly traded companies. They provide information about the firm’s activities and operations over the past year and forecasts about the future. Although digital versions are easy to obtain, there is a lack of technology available to prepare these reports for analysis. We propose to develop a […]

Redefining shared living spaces: Active reflection of post-pandemic coliving through architectural journalism

This internship will help revitalize the concept of “coliving” in the post-COVID context of Montréal city, from the perspective of an architecture student. Given that the crisis of housing shortage is on the rise, coliving is an environment-friendly alternative for young entrepreneurs on the move. Using the power of digital journalism for community engagement, this […]

An FPGA-based platform for the real-time simulation of high switching frequency power converters

Advances in semiconductor technology allow the increase of the efficiency and the power density of power converters using high switching frequency converters (HSFC). The integration of such energy conversion systems is continuously growing and in high demand for applications such as electric vehicle battery chargers, more electric aircrafts, and distributed energy resources. However, the real-time […]

Aeration of hydraulic turbines for increased dissolved oxygen

In warm climates warm temperatures cause thermal stratification in hydropower reservoirs inhibiting mixing and leading to deoxygenation of waters at depth (hypolimnium). Turbines withdrawing water at depth result in low dissolved oxygen (DO) in the downstream flow having a large negative impact on the downstream riverine ecosystem. Legislation in the USA and elsewhere now requires […]

Manipulating Diet Content and Context to Improve Edible Insect Farming Yield

Food security is a major global concern and Canada’s current agricultural model is not adequately positioned to support our growing needs. Insects may solve this problem as they are nutritious and their production requires less resources than vertebrate protein sources. A primary goal of this project is to increase cricket yield. Together with Entomo Farms, […]
