This research is focused on understanding the microscopic mechanisms of lithium ion dynamics in novel solid-state electrolyte materials, which have a wide array of potential applications ranging from electric vehicle batteries to grid storage of renewable energy. A major gap in the development of all-solid-state batteries, which will be safer and more energy-dense than state-of-the-art […]

In this internship, UNS-Tech will partner with Profs. Cynthia Goh and David McMillen to use UNS-Tech’s electronic detection technology to detect molecules, including proteins, polymer nanoparticles and DNA, that are of interest in their research. UNS-Tech’s state-of-the-art electronics-based detectors for HPLC and gel electrophoresis will be employed in Prof. Goh’s and Prof. McMillen’s labs, respectively. […]

There are gaps in our knowledge concerning calf nutrition when producers feed high amounts of milk to calves along with starter feeds differing in nutrient composition. Mainly, how these calf diets alter lower gut development and health during the pre- and post-weaning periods. This research will utilize pre-weaning calves to assess the effects of diets […]

How a company today contributes to the environmental and social well-being of society is becoming a more important part of their business activities. Many large companies have an environmental, social and governance (ESG) policy which guides them on making their business activities contribute to environmental and social sustainability of the planet. But what about businesses […]

For different software packages created using different tools to interoperate, an intermediate layer called API bindings is needed. These bindings can be created by hand, but that takes time and needs to be updated whenever one of the packages changes. Since these bindings are often quite repetitive, it is reasonable to try and generate them […]

Working in partnership, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) and the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) propose the development of a novel, hybrid digital platform that brings together the progressive community development initiatives of KZA with CIMS’ established research record in the field of building information modelling (BIM). The research challenges involved in the development of a […]

The current project will focus on understanding the behavior of one of the most important CANDU reactor components when it is subjected to the reactor environment. This study will develop a fundamental understanding of the X-750 material’s behavior resulting in innovative technologies that benefit the nuclear industry in Canada. In the short to medium term […]

Drug metabolism is a fundamental step of drugs to act and move in the body. Cytochorome P450 (CYP) enzymes, the most important metabolizing enzymes, are superfamily that metabolize a vast array of compounds, especially drugs. While drug metabolism occurs predominantly in the liver so that CYP enzymes in other organs has been understudied, brain CYP-mediated […]

Construction zones are one of the leading contributors to Toronto’s ever-growing congestion. The aim of this study is to develop an integrated construction zone traffic management framework to minimize disruption of the traffic and reduce the effect in terms of congestion. This study leverages historical and real data collected from on-board construction trucks provided by […]

The structural health and performance of existing infrastructure in Canada has a large impact on the Canadian economy and hence, it is imperative that this infrastructure is kept in good operational conditions. A significant portion of this infrastructure was built during the post world war period, which suggests much of this infrastructure has surpassed their […]
