Two-photon polymerization (2PP) additive manufacturing, also referred as two-photon lithography, has enabled complex three-dimensional (3D) structures with emergent mechanical properties to be printed at high speed and lateral resolutions below 200 nm. Recently, the Gu Group at Stanford University reported a 2PP photoresist containing quantum-confined nanoclusters which act as highly sensitive two-photon activators to enable […]

Les organisations de santé doivent innover et se maintenir à jour avec les nouvelles technologies basées sur les données probantes. Les exosquelettes de réadaptation sont une nouvelle technologie pouvant améliorer la mobilité des personnes ayant une lésion médullaire, mais la recherche sur acceptabilité par les acteurs de la réadaptation est limitée. L’étude de cas de […]

Les soins de développement (SDD) sont des interventions qui visent à réduire le stress lié à l’hospitalisation à l’unité de soins intensifs néonatals (USIN), à promouvoir le développement neurologique d’un nouveau-né prématuré, ainsi qu’à développer les compétences parentales. Les SDD peuvent comprendre le contacte peau à peau, le contrôle de l’environnement (lumière et bruit), l’évaluation […]

This research focuses on Seoul International Ecofilm Festival (SIEFF) and aims at understanding its role and impacts on Korean society since its beginning. By using a mixed methods and research-creation approach, the intern will collect and analyze different types of data including visual ones such as pictures, audio-visual archives, visual/filmic ethnography of the 20th festival, […]

Flexible and lightweight electronics are the basis of the Internet of Everything (IoE), where people, processes, data, and devices will be integrated to change the future of mankind. Up to now, much research has been conducted on structures with simultaneous high electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility as the core of IoE. However, high-volume manufacturing, reliability, […]

Thin-film solar cells have great potential to replace conventional silicon-based cells, mainly because of their flexibility and low-cost materials. Nowadays, organic solar cells seem the brightest alternative, thanks to their non-toxic composition. Nonetheless, there still need to be solved challenges in their commercialization process. One of them, the loss of surfaces and interfaces of active […]

In this project, we are going to modify a plasma reactor that uses air, water and electricity to produce a solution containing fixed nitrogen to be used as a fertilizer. We will use several kinds of physical and chemical techniques to optimize the energy efficiency of nitrogen fixation. With this information in hand, we will […]

Through the MITACS GRA research award, this proposal aims to address the research gaps in enhancing the security and software quality assurance for two emergent technologies, namely, IoT and cloud systems. As evidenced from the literature scan, much of the previous work on security for IoT and cloud systems has ranged from addressing only specific […]

L’objectif de ce stage est de d’adapter un appareil de ciné-radiographie clinique existant en un outil de cinéradiographie à haute vitesse permettant de mesurer la cinématique de la tête, de la colonne cervicale et de la moelle épinière lors d’essais expérimentaux sur corps donnés à la science visant à reproduire un chargement traumatique impliquant un […]

This project aims to investigate the use of non-thermal plasma to (i) strengthen the adhesion and promote the compatibility between lignocellulosic layers and (ii) functionalize the individual layer(s) or the multilayers with advanced barrier performance. The overall goal is to propose competitive, fully biodegradable and/or recyclable alternatives to current petroleum-based multilayer packaging. Non-thermal plasma is […]

This project aims to compare the biomechanics of the lower limbs in individuals with different types of foot amputation (i.e., transmetatarsal, metatarsophalangeal and toe) during locomotion (e.g., walking, stair ambulation). To achieve these objectives, individuals with and without a foot amputation will undertake a biomechanical evaluation (joint movements/forces and muscle activity) during the aforementioned tasks.

The objectives of the proposed research are to design, build and test a simple but robust prototype thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system comprising an optical cavity configuration and a bifacial PV cell. As a part of this collaboration, the design and fabrication of an optical cavity-based TPV system will be done at York University. This optical cavity […]
