Given a landscape of computer software that is made up of very few platforms and operating system types, attacks on software can often come in the form of comparing differences between instances or revisions of software. Diversifying software is an effective technique to mitigate these kinds of attacks. Software diversification is a means to generate […]

This project is mainly about the investigation of the reliability of the computer-aided calculations used in conjunctions with the electronic instruments employed to detect radioactive contamination that may be deposited on surfaces such as a human skin. The investigations will be carried out using scientific theories including mathematical and statistical techniques as well as experiments […]

Integration is a core IT operation, and is aided by a number of available best]practice techniques for integration (integration patterns). However the application of these patterns has little to no automated support. They are applied by consultants on a per-customer basis, making it an expensive and time consuming task. A computer science student from the […]

This project is to verify the elasto-plastic models in SVSolid software using the well]known FEM software, ABAQUS. SVSolid 2D/3D is powerful software designed specifically for geotechnical engineering field to conduct stress/deformation analysis, while ABAQUS is a software package designed for general engineering applications. The elasto-plastic model is applicable in many engineering materials. Three geotechnical engineering […]

The utilization of power electronic converters will enhance the power flow in existing infra]structure assets of power transmission and distribution utilities. A recently proposed hybrid power flow controller offers the integration of existing reactive power elements with new converters. Before such devices are accepted by utilities, it is essential to demonstrate their functionality in well […]

In this internship, UNS-Tech will partner with Prof. Woolley to detect products of interest to his lab using UNS-e-chip. The antibiotics, developed by Prof. Woolley, are novel systems that can be activated by light or enzymes. The assay will employ UNS-Tech’s state-of-the-art electronics-based detectors for HPLC. The results will be analyzed and the findings will […]

High resolution, large area displays are currently realized by tiling multiple projectors. Seamless transition between adjacent projecting areas is achieved by electronics blending, which is unable to correct artifacts in the transition regions especially for dark scenes. We propose a feasibility study of using optical blending techniques as potential solutions to the above problem. We […]

In broadband communication systems, one of the key issues is the design of a compact antenna while providing wideband characteristic over the whole operating band. This project focuses on novel antenna designs with appealing features of very wide bandwidth or multi-band performance, simple structure, omnidirectional radiation pattern and ease of fabrication. The objective of this […]

The purpose of the project is to identify the barriers to cleantech adoption, the role and effect of the government on the cleantech industry, and, in essence, understand whether or not the recent surge in venture capitalist investment and economic activity is potentially only a temporary aberration. Through iterative research and assistance from an advisory […]

The goal of this project is to explore new technology directions in the design and development of Electrical Vehical (EV) charging stations. Each of the interns will study the feasibility and/or viability of new technologies as to their benefits for consumers, owners of fleets, and electrical power utilities. The first intern will review the existing […]

The objective of the proposed research is the development of a new type of industrial robots that are capable of safely interacting with humans. These new robots are expected to transform industrial automation by providing a robotic platform that allows integration of man and machine in a safe and functional manner. Our main challenges are […]

This project is in partnership with the Canadian Obesity Network. Human diet and nutrition have changed toward a diet dominated by increased food portions; low consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, cereals, and legumes; and the increase in high consumption of foods rich in saturated fat, sugars and salt. As a result, societies have witnessed […]
