Oscillation-based Fuel Cell Diagnostics

In this project, we propose two diagnostic tools that can identify dynamical processes in various fuel cell operating regimes, using the difference in the time constant of these processes. For example, conductive transport of electrons is faster than diffusive transport of gasses. We oscillate current and pressure at different frequencies, and measure the cell voltage. […]

Sea Ice thickness distribution modeling

The aim of this internship is to carry out an analysis of the equations modelling the distribution function of sea ice thickness, particularly in the case of large deformations such as ridges. Among other things, we will be interested in the numerical solutions of these equations, their stability and their consistency.

Ultraviolet disinfection of harvested rainwater for a marginalized rural community

Access to clean water is essential; however, it is becoming increasingly complex due to climate change uncertainties, which affect small, rural, and marginalized communities worldwide, including Indigenous communities within Canada. These communities rely on often-contaminated surface and rainwater sources, making them exceptionally vulnerable to climate change impacts. Microbial growth and unpleasant odors during water storage […]

Development of high-performance earthquake resilient tall buildings

With rapid population growth worldwide, major cities around the world are seeing an upsurge in high-rise building construction. At the same time, there is an increased awareness about the importance of designing buildings so that they will have limited damage due to strong earthquake shaking. An innovative structural system is proposed that utilizes an outrigger […]
