Electric power plants are the number one toxic air polluters in North America. The emitted pollutants are proven to cause serious health and environmental issues. The emission of Carbon dioxide and of other pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide – major drivers of the human-accelerated global climate change- must be monitored insitu. Our goal […]

Hydrogen (H2) offers a strategic opportunity for Canada’s energy transition and more broadly is viewed as an essential part of the global solution to reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Industry, governments and research agencies at regional and national scales are looking at the feasibility of H2 hubs that incorporate local logistics for H2 […]

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer-related cause of death in Canada. This high mortality rate is largely due to the lack of a cost-effective, patient-accepted and sensitive screening tool. Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI) has developed a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based urinary diagnostic test for detecting colonic polyps (PolypDx™). Identification of adenomatous polyps […]

Catheter-associated infections (CAIs) pose a significant healthcare challenge in Canada and worldwide. CAIs contribute to increased patient morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and a significant burden on the healthcare system. With an aging population and growing antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for innovative infection prevention strategies. This project explores using repellent liquid-infused catheters to […]

The oil sands industry in Alberta, Canada, generates large amounts of wastewater, known as oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), which contains high levels of toxic naphthenic acids (NAs). NAs, which can reach concentrations of up to 120 mg/L, are the main contributors to the water’s toxicity, posing significant risks to nearby ecosystems like the Athabasca […]

Background: Obesity is a common chronic disease -particularly in Western nations- that is frequently linked with the presence of other illnesses and earlier death. Typical obesity management strategies might include medication, such as the drug Contrave, which has been approved for weight loss in Canada. While Contrave reduces appetite and food cravings in most people […]

This project aims to improve carbon capture technologies by testing and optimizing new solvents and process designs for capturing CO2 from industrial emissions. By using advanced computer simulations and experimental testing, the project will help identify the most effective solvents and strategies to reduce the costs and energy needed for carbon capture. The project will […]

Trauma often leaves lasting effects on mental health, increasing the risk of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. These challenges can worsen during hormonal shifts like menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. Some women may have a heightened sensitivity to these changes that could amplify symptoms, while poor sleep, including insomnia and disrupted sleeping patterns, further complicate recovery. Despite […]

Flexpipe, the industrial sponsor, is recognized as a global leader in the production of fully organic reinforced thermoplastic pipelines (RTPs). Flexpipe is currently offering non-metallic, non-bonded spoolable fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite linepipes with a maximum service rating of up to 82 °C and up to 1500 psi, for high-temperature fluid transportation, CO2 injection and other corrosive, […]

This research project aims to create advanced computer tools to help surgeons during hip replacement surgery by automatically identifying important parts of the hip anatomy and providing accurate measurements in real-time. The intern(s) will work on developing a large, realistic set of simulated X-raylike images to mimic what surgeons see during different stages of the […]

Les technologies numériques et l’intelligence artificielle transforment profondément les organisations, influençant leur gestion, leur production et le partage des ressources. Pour rester compétitives, de plus en plus d’entreprises adoptent ces technologies dans la gestion des ressources humaines et des compétences. Toutefois, les méthodes traditionnelles de formation ne répondent plus adéquatement aux besoins actuels du marché […]

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but traditional metal pipelines used to transport CO2 are prone to corrosion, especially in environments with impurities like H2S and SO?. This project aims to create advanced plastic-based pipeline systems that are more durable and cost-effective. We will develop multi-layered polymer designs combining […]
