This project will focus on the production of new molecules with a focus towards producing highly sensitive sensors for biogenic amines. Biogenic amines are molecules produced in food when they spoil, and can be used to identify spoilage within food. This technology is a promising strategy for the reduction of food waste as well as […]

This project explores how to make clean hydrogen production more accessible and affordable by designing a Mobile Hydrogen Production Unit (MHPU) that runs on renewable energy such as solar or wind. The unit will be small, portable, and capable of generating hydrogen on-site for use in remote, off-grid, or temporary locations that currently depend on […]

This project is a transformative energy technology that reimagines how electricity is delivered, expanding access to affordable power while supporting the global clean energy transition. The project is dedicated to empowering communities, particularly in underserved regions, with solutions that advance both energy access and equity.

Our Mitacs application is part of a collaborative program of study to develop the chemistry of molecular solar-thermal energy storage (MOST) materials. For the project, we aim to establish Cu(I) ions as components of MOST materials. The Lescop group (France) has longstanding expertise developing inorganic materials based on Cu(I) wherein the metal ions direct electron […]

The growing urgency to combat climate change has driven major interest in technologies that can capture and convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful fuels and chemicals. Electrochemical CO2 conversion is a focus area in carbon capture and utilization storage (CCUS) as a potential disruptive technology for a circular carbon economy, including decarbonization of chemical manufacturing, […]

The Nechako River in Prince George, British Columbia, suffers from eroding riverbanks and contaminated sediments left behind by past industrial activities. This project will investigate whether treatment wetlands, which are engineered ecosystems that use plants and natural processes to clean water and stabilize soil, could help address both problems at once. The student will use […]

Offshore oil rigs play a critical role in Canada’s energy industry, but they rely heavily on diesel generators that are expensive, polluting, and difficult to maintain in remote marine environments. This project explores the development of highly efficient DC–DC converters—advanced electronic devices that improve the way electricity is managed on offshore platforms. These converters make […]

Seanetik est une startup québécoise issue du projet de fin de baccalauréat d’étudiants en génie mécanique et robotique à l’Université de Sherbooke. L’équipe mixte et multidisciplinaire développe une technologie innovante de nettoyage de coques de navires submergé, dans le but de réduire les émissions causées par l’accumulation de biosalissures, tout en assurant un contrôle sur […]

Electrification of transit vehicles is a part of Ontario’s long-term strategy to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions. However, transit agencies and utility/local distribution companies face significant technological and operational hurdles in integrating “off the shelf” electric bus technologies. This project aims to overcome the social and technical challenges associated with a lack of international standardization for […]

Lithium batteries, developed during 80’s, are used more and more as energy sources for electronic devices, hybrid or electric vehicles or other uses. Another application currently in development is the use of lithium batteries to stabilize the energy grid system and energy fluctuations from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. Hydro-Québec is […]
