This research project focuses on developing a compressed air energy transmission system as an alternative to the current electrical energy transmission system. Compressed air has the potential to be an efficient and cost-effective solution for storing energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. The project will focus on improving the efficiency of current compressed […]

The proposed project aims at exploring the technical and financial feasibility of integrating Photovoltaic (PV) technologies in available facades of a new multistorey building. The research consists of two main design objectives1) exploring various characteristics of available facades to functionally and aesthetically integrate PV modules, and 2) explore the feasibility of the designed PV façade […]

This project seeks to improve the rate of CO2 removal from the exhaust gases of industrial processes in order to help solve the issues of global warming and climate change. Various carbon abatement techniques have been developed and used. The most used technique is called “carbon capture”. These technologies come with their own challenges such […]

This project seeks to contribute to the global cardon emissions reduction agenda through the use of alternative sources of fuel that do not produce carbon emissions. In other words, this approach is known as “CO2 avoidance” through the use of carbon-neutral fuels. The production of biofuel, namely bioethanol using edible feedstock has raised serious humanity […]

The global push to decarbonise our energy system and all its related processes has stirred up a great interest amongst researchers and scientists to devise ways and means of improving processes that heavily rely on fossil fuels. The use of renewable sources to make chemicals and materials has received considerable attention as this alternative approach […]

The Intern will do research to identify possible existing and new gases to replace harmful gases used in refrigeration, automotive air conditioning and other similar industrial and consumer uses that are known to deplete the ozone layer or are ‘super-greenhouse gases’. Through literature searches and primary interviews with manufacturers, the student will prepare an analysis […]

The proposed research project aims to explore the benefits and challenges of migrating on-premises data centers to cloud-based solutions. The intern will investigate the environmental sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and trustworthiness of cloud computing in comparison to traditional data centers. By analyzing real-world case studies and conducting experiments, the project seeks to provide insights into the potential […]

Our research project aims to develop an advanced coating solution for the tire molding industry to address the problem of rubber sticking to mold and vent surfaces during the tire curing process. Currently available solutions are costly, have a limited lifespan, and cause interruptions in the manufacturing process. We propose to use an electroless composite […]

The proposed project aims to develop Easy Receipt’s software by integrating a receipt NFC transfer feature through the expertise of the intern Maryam. By leveraging her skills and utilizing the Scaled Agile Framework methodology, the project aims to improve the Easy Receipt application, leading to streamlined receipt management for users and increased brand visibility. This […]

This project aims at developing a coupled enzyme assay strategy that will allow us to engineer and screen engineered PETase enzymes that are useful in degrading otherwise non-biodegradable plastics. The proposed method will be faster and robust compared to existing assay methods. PolyTide Inc. aims to apply this technique towards engineering PETase enzymes it is […]
