Ce projet est réalisé en collaboration avec la Fondation Mira. Notre objectif est d’étudier les effets du chien d’assistance sur l’enfant avec troubles du spectre de l’autisme (TSA). Le projet se divise en deux études se penchant sur des thématiques non-investiguées jusqu’à présent. Au cours de la première étude, sera étudiée l’évolution de la dynamique […]

There is a demand in the market for an economical and efficient handheld seawater desalinator. The goal of this project is to develop graphene based membrane technology which will first provide a handheld personal desalinator and then be scalable to a higher flow rate single family point of use desalinator. In this direction 2 and […]

La fiabilité des installations électriques du Canada contribue directement à la vitalité économique et à la qualité de vie des citoyens. Le vieillissement graduel des transformateurs de puissance (éléments les plus importants de réseau électrique), associé à la croissance de la demande en électricité, augmente le risque de voir les équipements à risque tomber en […]

Le vieillissement graduel des transformateurs de puissance (éléments les plus importants de réseau électrique), associé à la croissance de la demande en électricité, augmente le risque de voir les équipements à risque tomber en panne et entraîner des coupures d’électricité. La durée de vie de ces équipements étant liée à celle de leur isolation solide, […]

The excellent mechanical properties and its lightness make graphene a revolutionary material as efficient audio transducers for speakers and headphones. Several studies have reported the superior performance of graphene diaphragm in electrostatic and thermoacoustic transducers [1-2]. However, these graphene diaphragms are produced from expensive methods with low scalability and are not suitable for application in […]

ORA has developed a unique audio solution based on the use of graphene oxide (GO), an oxidized graphene produced by a scalable chemical method. GO shows a good balance of stiffness, density and damping when assembled into micrometers thick layered structure and has been shown to perform significantly better than commercial diaphragms by ORA. The […]

The partner organisation, Sigma Energy Storage, develops energy storage by gas compression. This technology is based on the storage of electricity from intermittent energy sources, such as wind or solar power, and the recovery of unused electricity from diesel-based power sources located in remote communities not connected to the electrical power grid system. During the […]

Les écosystèmes d’innovations sont au coeur des nouvelles dynamiques de générations d’idées qui nourrissent les processus d’innovation modernes. Ce projet a pour but d’étudier ces entités et de fournir un livre blanc au Consortium de Recherche et d’Innovation en Aérospatiale au Québec (CRIAQ) contenant un guide de meilleures pratiques afin que ce dernier puisse créer, […]

The intern will support the Canadian Bobsleigh Team in its efforts to reduce ice friction between a bobsleigh and the race track. Therefore, a numerical heat transfer model will be developed, and novel procedures to attain the smoothest possible runner surfaces will be researched. Furthermore, we will apply concepts underlying lubrication theory to runner surfaces […]

Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell is a division of Mercedes-Benz Canada and is responsible for Daimler’s global production of fuel cell stacks. Fuel cell stacks are currently seen as a prominent alternative to internal combustion engine in road cars. In the current design the fuel cell stack is assembled using a few hundred individual fuel cell plates. […]
