The main objective of this project is to design a novel plastic recycling technology invented by GreeNovel Incorporation. The process is based on microwave pyrolysis of the wastes at high temperatures and in the absence of oxygen to be decomposed to pyrolysis-oil and gas. The modelling of the novel microwave pyrolysis system and the product […]

Le remblai en pâte cimenté (RPC) est une technologie innovante couramment utilisée dans les mines profondes grâce à ses performances bien établies. Pour assurer la cohésion des RPC, plusieurs types de liants hydrauliques sont utilisées. Ces derniers présentent, toutefois, quelques inconvénients liés en particulier, à leurs coûts de plus en plus élevés, au caractère polluant […]

In the agri-food industry, monitoring the production and/or processing of raw materials can be important for ensuring the quality of the end-product. Measurement of specific compounds during processing can provide the feedback required to make informed adjustments resulting in a quality enhancement of the product. Biosensors are the devices that can provide detection and/or quantification […]

Natural gas power generation is a cost-effective method of generating electricity. NG power generators have been successfully installed in a wide variety of energy intensive facilities in Canada, including district energy systems, wastewater treatment facilities, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, office buildings, and residential buildings. However, more than 60% of the energy is wasted in the […]

The aim of this project is to investigate and develop a 3D dashboard and protocol conversion mechanism for monitoring of equipment/devices in remote facilities. The 3D dashboard allows TriVision’s employees to take corrective actions when needed and gives them the visual effect of the layout and equipment of the facility for better interaction. The proposed […]

Le projet consiste à prédire la loyauté et le montant qu’un(e) client(e) serait porté(e) à dépenser au cours de sa vie en relation avec une entreprise en commerce électronique. Pour ce faire, un modèle de prédiction sera développé afin de capturer les dépenses cumulatives d’un client ainsi que la durée attendue de la relation avec […]

IN_SITU is a research study that investigates the possibilities and challenges of connection and bridge-building between Canadian arts sectors and the most advanced academic research centres dealing with Artificial Intelligence in Canada and beyond. The study will explore how artists and artistic organizations can augment their digital strategies, literacy and intelligence when artists co-create with […]

The intern will be engaged in developing a Lean and Green road map that establishes the current environmental performance of the study facility, identifies opportunities for improvement, and provides a systematic process in order to achieve sustainability goals. By engaging in the development of Current and Future Value Stream maps, applying relevant process management tools, […]

Tidal marshes are essential ecosystems both economically and ecologically. They provide many natural resources, such as filtering pollutants from water and providing flood protection. However, since the 1980s, we have lost about 80% of the world’s wetlands including many tidal marshes. This internship aims to identify the role of goose herbivory on marsh vegetation as […]

Pour restaurer les sites miniers, il est souvent nécessaire de les ramener à un état préexploitation, incluant une mise en végétation. Pour ce faire, l’industrie minière doit surmonter plusieurs défis. Ceci est d’autant plus vrai dans un milieu arctique comme celui des mines nordiques du Québec. Deux des plus grands défis à relever pour ces […]

Management of digital content (documents, screenshots, webpages, etc.) spread across many apps and platforms is becoming an ever-pervasive problem for professionals and businesses alike. Most existing solutions are focused on the storage and distribution of digital content, and there is yet a gap in the market for a tool that addresses the content management problem […]

The increasing global demand for mineral resources and the depletion of significant of high grade near-surface deposits is driving mining companies to consider cave mining as the ideal method to exploit large low-grade deposits at depth. A key characteristics of cave mining is the formation of a significant surface subsidence crater, which may impact nearby […]
