Deliberate massive sand influx used to increase oil recovery from shallow heavy oil resources ultimately results in low oil recovery. This means 85-95% of oil would remain unrecovered during the co-production of oil and sand process, which is referred to as Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS). In this project, we looked at the […]

We have seen the acceleration of global warming in recent years. Green-energy powered electronic devices are more desirable. In this proposal, we propose to develop an energy harvesting circuit and implement it on a system-on-chip. The design goals are low-cost, user-friendly, and portable. By partnering with Hidaca Ltd., our ultimate goal is to have this […]

This project aims to explore the application of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS, aka drones) to assess forest health, explore early identification of disease and infestation and provide quantitative post-harvest analysis. The use of drones for this type of assessment has the potential to improve the overall picture of forest health, aid in decision-making regarding […]

Our space-based radio-frequency communication is suffering from the use of simple phase shifters. Its bandwidth capability is limited, ultimately reducing the satellite’s capacity and the system’s service availability. Most electronic beamforming implementations are bulky, frequency dependent and they consume a significant amount of power. To replace those electronic components, structures which guide light on microchips […]

Le présent projet de recherche vise à dresser un portrait de l’état de santé mentale des entrepreneurs québécois, afin de proposer des interventions adaptées à leur réalité. S’inspirant des similitudes entre les entrepreneurs et les athlètes, cette recherche-action vise s’inspirer des meilleures pratiques dans le sport de haut niveau, afin de constater si certaines techniques […]

Le Cirque du Soleil dispose d’une expertise pratique importante pour la conception de matelas de réception. Toutefois, due à l’absence de données approfondies, cette expertise repose sur peu d’évidence scientifique, rendant difficile la conception optimale de matelas de réception pour de nouvelles performances acrobatiques. Le stage proposé vise à compléter et exploiter les outils expérimentaux […]

Nowadays, software projects are no longer isolated but drive the business process of many non-IT companies. With the rise of AI applied in many industries, the problem of optimally scheduling tasks and allocating proper resources has significantly increased the challenge because of the diversity of tasks and stakeholders in the project. Due to the large […]

Osteoporosis is a generalized skeletal disorder common in older adults, in which a reduction in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) decreases bone’s strength and can result in an increased risk of fragility fractures. One of the sites commonly affected by osteoporosis is the proximal femur (“hip”), the fracture of which greatly decreases mobility and function, as […]

Continuing progress in microelectronics today relies to a great extent on the ability of industrials to tightly integrate together different types of devices and integrated circuits, a practice known as heterogeneous packaging integration. These packages are used many everyday applications such as smart phone and social media. The increase performance of these packages come at […]

Onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) are the integral part of wastewater management in Canadian rural and sub-urban communities. Sporadic reports indicate that these systems fail or underperform frequently and as such, they are among the most important sources of nutrient pollution in ground- and surface waters, which we frequently use as drinking water resources. The […]

Focused Ultrasound (FUS) is a therapeutic modality that can concentrate mechanical energy far from its source in just a few cubic millimetres. There is a significant number of studies investigating the use of FUS as a therapeutic option for multiples diseases, with an emphasis on oncology and brain disorders. While machine learning (ML) and artificial […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans la programmation d’une action de recherche et développement actuellement en cours au Centre de Recherche en Biotechnologie Marine (CRBM) avec l’appui financier et au bénéfice de la Société Sani-Marc inc. Il consiste à développer des supports appropriés pour l’immobilisation d’enzymes d’intérêt pour cette société.
