The objective of this project is to identify Industry 5.0 indicators applicable to supply chains. The concept of Industry 5.0 is relatively new, so companies still face the challenge of how to incorporate its three pillars—sustainability, resilience, and human-centricity—into their operations. Identifying performance indicators related to these pillars is a step forward, as companies use […]

Timber is a sustainable alternative to concrete and steel, offering a lower carbon footprint and benefits such as high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of prefabrication, and rapid on-site assembly. However, timber floors have low mass and limited stiffness, making them prone to vibrations that can reduce occupant comfort. Steel beams, particularly the innovative Deltabeam system, enhance […]

TASTE Ukraine is a project that is inclusive as it seeks to centre the voices of the Ukrainian diasporic community in a way that can be built upon with other marginalised communities, and lead to evidence that can inform policy and practice. It seeks to lean from, and influence, food, culture, and behaviour and can […]

While telematics data with measurements of specific driving behaviors such as speeding, breaking, and turning, have shown significant predictive power in modeling accident risk, its usability has been challenged due to the low proportion of auto insurance policyholders that agree to provide their telematics data to the insurance companies. In this regard, we propose a […]

Plant cells naturally express enzymes that remove the reactive oxygen species (ROS) or prevent their production to a detrimental level under stress conditions. One such protective enzyme is the alternative oxidase enzyme (AOX) that is unique to plants among all other eukaryotes. There exist five AOX enzyme isoforms, AOX1a, AOX1b, AOX1c, AOX1d and AOX2, in […]

L’objectif de ce projet de stage de recherche est de réaliser une étude de méthodes de commande flexible des convertisseurs statiques en technologie de semiconducteur GaN pour la mobilité électrique. Le projet vise spécifiquement la proposition d’une stratégie de génération des signaux de commande flexible pour permettre l’optimisation simultanée du contenu harmonique de courant fourni […]

Considerable scientific research is oriented towards providing answers to the disturbing effects of the impacts of global change. There is a growing need to introduce new methodologies to explore the often very complex and interconnected chemistry of the atmosphere. This research program aims to advance our current mass spectrometry-based studies on halogenated atmospheric pollutants with […]

This project aims to improve how we monitor the condition of lubricating oils used in engines, turbines, and other critical industrial systems. These oils rely on antioxidants to prevent chemical breakdown. When the antioxidants degrade, it can cause equipment damage, costly downtime, and environmental harm. To address this challenge, researchers at Carleton University, in collaboration […]

This project will develop color-changing films made from plant-based cellulose that can show visible signs when packaging is damaged. These smart films are designed to respond to pressure or impact by changing color, making it easier to detect if a product has been dropped or crushed during transport. The focus is on using sustainable materials […]

This research project investigates how residual stress heterogeneity generated during manufacturing affects the performance and durability of gears, which are critical components in power transmission systems. When properly controlled, residual stresses can improve fatigue resistance and extend the service life of mechanical parts. However, their behavior of relaxation during the early stages of operation is […]

The healthcare system relies heavily on blood and blood products for a large variety of life-saving treatments. However, blood products are perishable and have short shelf lives. Given the continuous demand for these products, this issue must be addressed. As blood is stored, the profile of cell surface sugars, known as glycans, has been shown […]

This project will study how space weathering, such as solar wind radiation and micrometeoroid impacts, affects planetary surfaces, materials, and biomolecules that are important for future space exploration. Using advanced computer simulations and machine learning, we will model these processes at the atomic level to understand how they alter the chemistry of planetary and material […]
