The infrastructure industry needs a way to non-destructively assess plastic pipe joints. We aim to research, design, and develop methodologies and a prototype device that allow automated inspection of these joints (made with the two most common joining methods) using ultrasound and artificial intelligence (AI). We propose a novel method that uses a two-element ultrasonic […]

This project would address basic unanswered questions about how the application of environmentally benign process (i.e., biohydrometallurgy) on mine ores and tailings can leach and extract base and, precious that are essential for today’s “smarter” technologies. Bioprocessing methods for bio-extraction and bio-recovery of elements offer a new potential sustainable alternative compared to chemical conventional approaches. […]

3D geological models attempt to integrate all sources of geological and geophys ical data into a single comprehensive model whose purpose is to help identify future poss ible mineral exploration targets. These models are normally built based on sparse surface outcrops, a few boreholes and sometimes airborne geophysical surveys to fill the gap. However, often […]

This project is aiming at the development of integrated computed tomography (CT) for automated integrity control of tools used in nuclear reactors during maintenance and inspection activities. Due to large number of complex tools, and the fact that the current process of tool integrity check is performed manually, the time required to finish the integrity […]

Atherosclerosis is a disease defined by unresolved inflammation in the major arteries. High cholesterol is a major risk factor, resulting in fatty lesions developing silently for decades before causing heart attacks and strokes. Currently, no therapies exist that target the cells of the artery wall to suppress this disease. Myeloid cells (MCs) are white blood […]

The launch of the digitization-as-a-service offering as part of the overall FutureVault Digital Vault Solution is fundamental to the success of the organization and is timely given the challenges organizations are facing due to COVID-19. The conceptualization, validation, prototyping, delivery, marketing, selling and scaling of a new product/service provides a unique opportunity for students to […]

The adoption of Electroactive polymers as display systems in insulated glazing units increases human performance, comfort and productivity while also contributing to the architectural fa((ade. We are interested in examining the effect and performance of bioresponsive building envelopes in providing human thermal and visual comfort. The Discrete-EVent System Specification (DEVS) formal ism provides a formal […]

CEO Law operates a two-sided online marketplace platform that connects lawyers and clients. The platform has been tailored to fit both client and lawyer needs with the platform delivering equal benefits to both parties. The steady growth in the past three years show the success in the strategy of investing the feature that connect clients […]

The intern will develop a report based on analysis of competitive intelligence research. Data collection will include both primary (i.e., interviews, meetings, surveys and presentations) and secondary (i.e., website, social media, industry reports) research protocols. The individual will make recommendations to the senior management team pertaining to marketing strategy, business development and customer acquisition in […]

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver disorders worldwide. NAFLD could lead to end-stage liver disease and considered as one of the most common causes of liver transplantation. Moreover, a large number of liver transplant recipients develop NAFLD after transplantation due to side effects of the medications that they have […]

Vehicles rely on small computers located in various places. The electronic signals sent between these computers must be dependable. However, currently these signals can easily be hacked which threatens the vehicle and the people in and around it. A project is underway, involving Akimbo Technologies Inc., Solana Networks Inc., and the Carleton University Applied Dynamics […]

Waterloo Region is facing an acute housing crisis across the housing continuum. Waterloo Affordable Housing Living Lab (WAHLL) is an applied research collaborative aimed at understanding the local housing system to better enable investment in sustainable solutions. WAHLL is comprised of the Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF), Union: Sustainable Development Co-operative (Union Co-operative), and University […]
