Dissimilar-material joining is becoming increasingly sought after in several industries – including automotive, aerospace, and rail – due to the potential to improve vehicle weight reduction and efficiency while maintaining safety and structural strength. Resistance Spot Riveting (RSRTM) is a novel joining technology designed to enable inexpensive, efficient, and effective dissimilar-material joining. As it stands, […]

Canada aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Buildings play a big role in this effort, so this research focuses on developing a tool to design and retrofit buildings for greater energy efficiency and sustainability. Using advanced computer models and data from building simulations, this tool predicts […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This proposal aims to develop a robust, low complexity infant cry deep learning classification based on various babies’ responses to physiological needs such as hunger or to discomfort and pain. The significance of this research lies in its potential to enhance early detection of needs and moods in newborns, contributing to improved infant care, early […]

This project aims to quantify defects in the probability framework for 2-dimensional (2D) materials with superior performance using optical techniques, primarily focusing on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Additionally, defects are an important factor influencing the performance of single-photon emitters (SPEs), a type of quantum device. This project will directly relate the SPE performance with defect concentration. […]

This project will create a first of its kind system to measure and validate the performance of conformally cooled tooling (CCT) for die casting and injection molding. CCT increases production efficiency and quality helping Canadian manufacturing to stay competitive with foreign manufacturers. Yet, many manufacturers are reluctant to adopt CCTs due to uncertainty around its […]

The research project seeks to understand, model and analyze the potential efficiency impact of additive manufacturing (AM or 3D-printing) on select manufacturing processes. The research will involve identifying, testing and measuring optimization opportunities in current manufacturing processes by combining current best practices and technologies across various AM technology and services, operational research methods and standard […]

Graphene is a promising new nanomaterial, single layers of graphite, with superior physical and electrical properties making it an ideal candidate for electrical applications; however, current graphene production methods are expensive and complicated. As a result, new materials that have similar properties to graphene, but are more amenable to high-yield production are currently being investigated. […]

This internship, in collaboration with the Public Actions Group of ICESI University (GAPI), focuses on the critical study of climate change’s impact on human migration and human rights. Our investigation will cover seven key topics: natural phenomena driving human mobility, the effects of climate-induced migration on human rights, the vulnerabilities of migrating groups, livelihood losses […]

This research project will explore how a Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis can aid in enhancing the sustainable Basa fish industry in Vietnam. Enhancement is achieved through increasing market value, reducing the impact on global seafood supply chains and reducing negative local environmental impacts. GIS is an application that allows for complex spatial analysis of […]

This research will explore the possible use of video analysis, object detection, and machine learning models to identify TV commercials and advertisements in real-time on low-power computer systems. The partner organization focuses on software development and advertisement technology. The partner aims to solve the challenge of developing a lightweight power-efficient AI-based software that would be […]
