The internal combustion engine will remain the major source of transportation power for decades to come. This project will focus on the control technologies related to minimizing engine-out emission and improving fuel efficiency. Through collaborative control of the engine and its aftertreatment system, an overall optimization of emission and fuel consumption can be realized. The […]

Respiratory diseases caused by viruses that are frequently evolving have placed significant strains on Canadian healthcare systems. Traditional methods of diagnostics can detect the presence of viruses in clinical specimens but do not always distinguish them at the variant level. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high throughput technique that is used to determine the […]

This project involves assisting with Digital Identity Transformation Programs by conducting business requirements gathering and cybersecurity assessments. The main focus is on implementing top-tier identity solutions to enhance identity and access management (IAM). The research objectives include developing IAM assessments to evaluate the current state of IAM within client organizations. This will inform the development […]

The precise management of the state of polarization of the light that is generated and all-optically processed within a photonic integrated chip (PIC) is of utmost relevance towards the conception of polarization-independent photonic integrated systems. This proposal aims to conduct an assessment of various design options of polarization converters for the specific application mandated by […]

The Downsview redevelopment is one of the most significant projects to occur in the history of Toronto, led by Northcrest Developments (Northcrest). Northcrest is wholly owned by the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments), one of Canada’s largest pension fund managers. The goal is that over the next 30 years, the 370-acre Downsview Airport […]

Newly available technologies for 3D fabrication — notably hobbyist 3D printers — are widening the user base for 3D design software. Autodesk, currently the industry leader in 3D design software, is broadening the scope of their activities, seeking to reach amateur users and to encourage their use of Autodesk software solutions. One of the most […]

Glo 3D, a Toronto-based technology startup, is pioneering a game-changing undercarriage photography technology to revolutionize vehicle inspections. Inspired by automotive industry demands, their mission extends to diverse sectors such as trucking, heavy machinery, military, and government inspections. Tackling challenges head-on, they’re conducting comprehensive research across industries to tailor their business strategy and pricing models accordingly. […]

Herd Navigator (HN) is a “precision technology” for dairy cow management based on in-inline milk sampling and advanced data analysis. This system has recently come to market in Canada. The proposed project will combine analysis of data from the HN system and controlled field trials to develop and validate best management practices for health, production […]

In 2006, the Government of Ontario introduced “Places to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe” to control urban sprawl, protect farmland and green spaces, create complete communities and revitalize downtowns and urban centres. Key specifications include minimum intensification targets, such as requiring 40% of new residential development to occur in existing built-up areas. […]

This project will train a Master’s geology student to use a variety of geological and geophysical datasets and concepts to define the stratigraphic architecture of deeply buried sandstones used for CO2 sequestration at the Aquistore site in Saskatchewan. The extent to which these sandstones form a single continuous body, or are compartmentalized, will affect their […]

The fast-growing market demand for food products with high nutritional qualities requires innovative and sustainable technologies. The proposed process employs an electrostatic technique to selectively charge proteins, carbohydrates, fibers, and other components in the bean flour and separate them based on the magnitude and type of their charge. The proposed methodology produces protein-rich flour from […]

This project is associated to the creation of a circular economy around styrene-based plastics such as polystyrene, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer (SAN) and ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) terpolymer. Polystyvert has developed a technology that transform ABS post-consumer materials that come from electronics, car parts, toys ect. in a recycled SAN (rSAN) of high purity. This solvent-based technology is green […]
