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 […]

The pyrolysis of methane offers the potential for an affordable and clean route to hydrogen production. The reaction is endothermic and requires energy input, which must be provided without emissions if the process is to be CO2-free. One option is to use electricity provided from clean sources. Resistive heaters are challenged by low heat flux […]

The electrochemical decarbonation (ED) of limestone is a novel disruptive technology with the potential to promote deep decarbonization of the cement industry, which emits about 8% of carbon dioxide global emissions. ED uses water electrolysis cells to precipitate Ca(OH)2, which has been used as an alternative raw material for Alite synthesis, the main clinker compound. […]

Ce projet traite le défi de la virtualisation du réseau électrique dans un contexte de transition énergétique caractérisé par une augmentation des ressources énergétiques décentralisées connectées, une numérisation des postes et automatismes et une convergence des technologies informationnelles avec les technologies opérationnelles. Le travail des stagiaires contribuera à mieux intégrer ces éléments dans les études […]

Au cours des trois dernières années, il y a eu un regain d’intérêt pour l’effet Hall thermique dans des matériaux quantiques. Tout d’abord, la possibilité qu’il puisse être utilisé pour détecter des excitations exotiques dans des matériaux liquide de spin, tels que les célèbres (et insaisissables) fermions de Majorana – qui auraient été mis en […]
