Two of the most important characteristics of woody biomass to consider when evaluating their suitability for use in bio-energy applications are moisture content and ash content. The industry has long been seeking a technology capable of rapidly and economically characterizing feedstock, however such a solution is currently not available. This project will lay the groundwork […]

Ce projet a pour objectif d’évaluer les performances de résines polymères biosourcées, fabriquées à partir de chitosane pour des applications de microfabrication de dispositifis et systèmes microélectroniques. Ces résines représentent une alternative écologique aux résines dérivées du pétrole et permettraient ainsi une diminution de l’impact environnemental de certains procédés de microfabrication

Permeation of CO2 gas through the inner layer in multi-layer fiber reinforced pipes (FRPs) destructively reduces pipe durability. FRPs generally consist of three or more layers of polymer and reinforcing fibers. Gas permeation thorough the polymer layer and its accumulation in reinforcing layer leads to pipe failure during depressurizing cycles. Using clay nano-platelet can lead […]

We propose the construction of novel ultrasound transducer structures based on existing MEMS technology that has been in development through collaboration between Micralyne and Prof. Roger Zemp. We will be exploring linear array transducers intended for medical imaging, and individual transducers for automotive use for ultrasound range finding. We will undertake the design, modelling, fabrication, […]

This project focuses on developing new types of catalysts by designing and testing innovative molecules (ligands) that can better interact with metals and tune their properties. Catalysts are chemical species that help speed up chemical reactions, making them more efficient, selective, and sustainable. They are essential in many industries, from pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals to energy […]

Le stage consisterai à étudier, par le biais de simulations numériques (I’expérimentation ayant déjà été réalisée), la déformation à froid et la recristallisation de l’aluminium. Pour cela, I’objectif sera de faire varier différents facteurs physiques et de les intégrer dans un programme dont la déjà définie, afin d’étudier la sensibilité des modèles (type analyse ANOVA) […]

The increasing demand for reliable wireless communication systems in underground mining environments has driven the need for innovative, low-cost, and resilient solutions. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) present a promising approach to enhance signal propagation and ensure continuous, high-quality communication in these complex, obstructed settings. However, the successful deployment of RIS technology depends not only on […]

This innovation project aims to help mitigate pressing global problems including; resource and waste management, global warming, deforestation, pollution, and energy shortages. At present there is a huge and growing global demand for high-value carbon-based products such as biochar, activated carbon, and carbon electrodes. These products are commonly made from wood biomass, graphite, or other […]

CM Marine Safety Equipment is a life jacket company that employs a new approach to commercial fishers’ safety. My company’s mission is to create a life jacket that provides the maximum amount of comfort and flexibility without sacrificing safety. There is a culture within the commercial fishing industry that neglects wearing life jackets and by […]

Spinal disorders are the largest cause of years lived with disability globally. Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is a common surgical approach to address dis degeneration, but reoperation rates can remain as high as 20%. Mechanical analysis of on-market designs and discussions with spine surgeons suggest this is linked to the mechanical design of the implants […]

Craft breweries depend heavily on their brewmasters to forecast demand and plan production, which distracts them from their core focus: brewing good quality beer. It also puts significant pressure on breweries because if the brewmaster suddenly becomes unavailable, they would be incapable of effectively completing these tasks. Forecasting and production planning become increasingly difficult as […]
